    I agree with @viking15 if you are taller than 6' it's tundra time....I am 6' and I can fit with room to spare, but I do get cramped feeling sometimes in my 2nd gen DC

    I'm 5 11. And loathe the front seating. It's 2016! Build some better seats Toyo. Or add height adjustment. Pathetic.

    Awesome truck tho :)

    Full size truck prices are ridiculous, there's no way I'm spending that kind of money strictly because of my height. Make the seat adjustable, it's that simple.

    Also, I putt around in this thing and fit comfortably. I'd say this is significantly smaller than a Taco, AND a Tundra. Guess what? It's got adjustable seats.

    I am 6'3" and have a 16 on order. On the test drives I feel that the height is borderline too short, but something I could deal with.
    Have you got used to the cab height, or still feel it is an issue?

    This is my second post. I am using both of my incipient posts to state that the front seats really suck at life and that a simple height adjustment could have been added to sr5 and up trim. Not doing so really begs the question, "Are there other cost cutting bullshit moves to uncover in future ?"

    I hope not. Tacoma is one of the worlds most coveted names in the auto industry and to "force" the driver feel uncomfortable really makes me wonder if they care about consumers at all ?

    Am I being slightly over dramatic? Yes and I no care. The seats suck.

    I've gotten use to it, It's really not that bad but sometimes after getting into the truck after not driving it for a few days I notice it. I must say, head room is not an issue at all, I don't have the sunroof so there is a good 5+ inches of space above my head. It's just the windshields are so damn small.

    I am 6' and find the visibility perfect. Although, the seats are not the most comfortable. But that is why I got wet okole seat covers! super comfortable. :thumbsup:

    I'm 6'1" and all torso. When I sit in the '16 with a moonroof my head hits the headliner.

    It's almost impossible to find a DCSB TRD OR without the sunroof anywhere I searched. I'll probably end up ordering one.
