Getting in the cab

Glad someone finally brought this up. This is by far the most difficult vehicle I have ever owned to get in and out of. Every person I have invited to drive my truck ends up racking their knee/thigh on the steering wheel and then feeling like there is no room to even fit underneath it. Nearly every passenger I have hits their head on the roof getting in as well. If you use a sidestep then you are far too high to step in so you have to stoop down and put your ass in first which is awkward. If you have any kind of lift and aren't 6'-3" or taller you are again in the awkward spot of trying to pull yourself into the truck.

I'm 6'-1" and 235 and I am absolutely killing the leather along the left edge of the drivers side seat with all the sliding in and out. The contour and raised portion along that edge is getting smashed as well. I have a feeling the upholstery on that drivers side seat will need to be replaced many times over the course of the life of this truck.

Wow guess you have never owned sports cars.

I asked the sales person on test drive why it was so tight between seat and steering wheel. Felt so cramped I guess I figured I am a smaller guy 5’8 and it must be in my mind. After a week I did figure out the wheel did tilt and telescope a bit and that did help quite a bit.
