    Anybody else whack their knee/shin on this thing? Hurts like a bastard. Poor location for this lower edge to be sticking out IME

    I'm 6'2" with an access cab and I don't have any issues. Maybe move the seat back

    It's usually if I jump in, in a hurry.

    Not me ... probably because I am old and fat, and I have to crawl into my Taco like a dog crawling into a doghouse. I am 5' 8", but I drive with the seat back.

    I'm about 5'9" and I've done this several times, I guess my legs are long for my height. but I totally agree with you, it's just as bad as stepping on legos

    I'm 6'3" and I haven't hit my knee on it once. But I have pretty long legs so my seat is moved pretty far back.

    How are you hitting your shin? I could maybe see your knees. Sounds like your sitting too close

    On the 2nd gen access cab, I would reach in the back seat and hit my head on the part that the rear doors latch in. That hurts like a mother. 2016-02-24 20.34.28.jpg

    Now I got a DCSB, problem solved but no I never hit my shin on the dash. Maybe you need to scoot your seats back a little or get side steps / running boards.
