    My wife was a little skittish at first about it, as she got used to driving my is300 or her STI (small cars). After about a 15 minute drive with me in the truck, and the front and rear camera any time switches were installed, she's all good now. The truck is always in the way of her car so, sometimes... when she takes the truck, I take her car for joy rides!

    She has her own 4Runner, and refuses to learn to drive a manual.

    How short, if you don't mind me asking? Looking at purchasing a 2018 OR, but it will be Mrs. Truman's daily driver and she is 5'2"... We aren't near a dealership, so she hasn't driven it yet. Our '05 has been her daily driver for almost 13 years without an issue, of course that is a much different build.

    She's about 5'3". Still hoping we can get her comfortable with it. Definitely take her for a test drive. If she's been driving the 05 without issues, she may be totally fine. My wife is kind of spoiled as our last four cars all had fully adjustable seats.

    I'm 5'5" and so is my wife. Seems perfectly sized for us to reach the controls. I don't think these trucks we're built for large folks comfort...

    Yes, she drives the Tacoma sometimes and I drive the Odyssey once in a while. The ZHP is just for me and she's never driven it.

    Mine was afraid to drive my truck because it's so much bigger than what she's used to. So last Thursday I made her drive it because I was taking her car to inspection. She had so much fun with it. :)

    I'm 6'1" and 250 lbs and it's not too much an issue for me. I mean it's no F-150 but it's still plenty spacious.
