    I'm 6'1", 200 with short legs and long torso and I don't think I'd be comfortable in the Taco if I was much bigger. I know the 4runners have some more room and I think you'll miss it getting into the Taco.

    Foot size is a concern too (both width and length). When I wear my boots (size 12, square toe, EE width) I have trouble getting my foot on the gas without catching the brake pedal. Not horrible in tennis shoes though.

    At your size...I'd be surprised if you like the fit. My brother is about 6'3" and 275 (so a bit shorter and more round than you, presumably) and he didn't care for my truck. He bought a new Tundra and it seems to be a more comfortable truck for his stature.

    Hell no you wont be comfortable. My cousin in 6'7'' , watching him get into my Taco was like being at a circus and watching the clown car act.

    I dont know how you six + footers are comfortable in our Tacomas!

    275lbs and 6’7’ ... is that you Zion Williamson? If so, I’d wait til July when you’re drafted #1 overall and then you’ll have plenty of money to buy a Tundra

    ImMrYo Rear view mirror lift bracket. Changed out mud flaps. Salex glove box organizer. OEM Ashtray (cup). AVS Step Shields. 16x8 SCS F5 Matte Jet Black. 265/75 16 Cooper St Maxx. OME Bp-51s. U.S. Offroad Winch Mount (in process) Smittybuilt x20 12k synthetic winch (in process) More....
    6'2" 236lbs, balanced torso and legs, size 14 foot. @ImMrYo bracket is a must. I am comfortable and even have the seat forward two stops. So room to spare. Two more inches height wise might make me a little uncomfortable though. I don't like to be too close to the roof.

    6'5" - 210lbs, and I fit pretty much perfectly in my 2014 DCSB. As others have said, you'll just have to sit in one to find out. It is nice to see I'm not the only freakishly tall person in a "midsized" truck though.

    6ft hefty two fiddy fit just fine seats all the way back. With my flintstone flat 13EE boots the go an stop pedals feel really close together. In running shoes or flipflops it’s just fine.
