    I'm 5'9" as well and it took me forever to find a comfortable seating position in our Tundra lol. Now that I've got it though feels like I'm driving a yacht around town and it's just a base model 5.7 :rofl:

    You're next door to me... I'm in Leander.

    I'm 5'10" and this is the first Toyota I've not been able to put the seat all the way back in. Nice to finally be able to fully stretch out. I'm still adjusting the seat to find the sweet spot... close! And the center console... you can fit a case of beer in it! This 5.7 is quite a monster... and it has a serious drinking problem.... glad I got the 38 gallon tank. :D :D :D

    For now, it will be the Maxliner digital-fit floor mats, AVS vent visors and the wife wants steps so I'll get the N-Fab Podium steps in black. I hate that the SR5 has all this chrome and no other options.... you have to go to the TRD or TSS or Pro models to get other-than chrome.

    Even the 1794 has chrome and its stupid... a platinum would be the way to go IMO for sure, but we got what we could afford lol. I'm an off road guy and wanted to rip our N Fab steps off but they're honestly nice, especially the bedside one. Not that I'd ever take this 2WD boat off the pavement more than parking in the dirt field behind our house :rofl:

    And nice! By the high school?
