    Still deciding which taco to order
    Im a 6'0 dude with long legs ,how close will a non-powered seat with seat jackers all the way around compare to the height of a powered one?I think I want an SR SX more than an SR5 with the only possible drawback being the seat .Did anybody near my size test the 2 seats and do a similar comparison?

    I would imagine you'd be hampered by the powered seats, but I'm only 5'8" on a good day!

    You won't want jackers all the way around: you'll have headroom issues. I'm 6'3" and have the manual seat, stock. It works for me, but then again, i don't like the minivan upright position- I like the sedan legs-forward position.

    Some people like to use a single set of jackers to tilt forward or back as needed, and that works great if there's just one driver.

    I’m 6’ 3” without a power seat and I added seat jackers to the front mounts to tilt the seat back a bit. Haven’t tried out a power seat yet but I’d love to retrofit with a powered seat because my wife is only 5’ 1”.

    I’m 6 ft with only seat jackers on the front with unpowered seats plus moonroof and I have a bit of headroom left.

    Is the moonroof directly over head?I was under the impression it didnt have any effect on headroom.

    It’s not quite overhead you catch the side of the roof a bit but you lose some head room with the bulge of the roof and the window. My seat jackers force my seat to tilt back just enough to make me more comfortable and give me the needed head room.
