    Hello!

    I've been on the truck market since the beginning of COVID-19 shutdown. I've been cross shopping between a Tacoma and 1/2 ton (F-150, Ram, Titan). I go back and forth.

    I really like the size of the Tacoma and plan to primarily use it for general landscaping, refinishing furniture, and maybe haul a teardrop camper in the future.

    I went to pull the trigger on a Cement 2019 TRD ORLB w/premium package, but realized I didn't exactly fit. I am 5'11" with a long torso, short legs. My head would hit off the inner lining of the sunroof. My girl and hopefully future wife can't survive without heated seats so that was something I really wanted in a truck, but you can't heated seats without the sunroof.

    Is there that much of a difference in headroom between sunroof and no sunroof in 2016-2019? I drove a 2020 and I fit fine and I assumed 2019 would be similar, but I guessed wrong.

    Thanks!
    Greg

    Welcome to TW!

    Yes, some folks are reporting that the sunroof takes away about 1-2 inches of headroom.
