    Cement Gray with matching camper shell and surf racks. Otherwise, all stock.
    I just purchased a 2019 TRD Off-Road with a sunroof so the liner is about 1.5" lower. My head scrapes the liner. I"m 6' tall so I'm guessing I'm not the first this has happened to and was looking to see what anyone else has been able to do to either lower the seat or raise the liner.

    Thanks for any ideas.

    Take a grinder with a wire wheel to the seat cushion might work.

    Take the truck back and get one without a sunroof.

    you should trade it in for one without a sunroof. you lose a TON of headroom with the sunroof. if you lower the seat, your knees are going to hate you

    I'm 6'4 and have the moon roof...no issues. I have mine lowered as far as it will let you, but it shouldn't make that much of a difference.
