    Gotta be a torso vs leg length thing or something. I'm an honest 6' 6" and 225 pounds. Sunroof on a '16 do lean back a little, maybe one click? Isn't the first time I've heard people complain about it, was worried when I traded in my second gen.

    Edit to add I'm no where near hitting my head on anything, forgot the important details.

    it’s barely less headroom than in my 4Runner with moon roof. Now if they can just get the damn rear view mounted a little higher

    I have a 2020 and I even jacked up the rear of the seat to flatten it out and get rid of the lawn chairing effect. Still have insane amounts of room, you can put the electric adjustable seats to the floor

    5' 5" ... was supposed to be tall, good looking, and rich but they messed up at the factory.
    Power seats raise me up nice and I have a butt saver that helps too.

    6'2", sunroof, no problem.

    I think it's because I have long arms and like to recline the seat a bit more?

    As for getting in and out, it's funny, I can get in and out of the drivers seat no problem, never bump my head, but if I get in the passenger side to clean the windshield or something I feel like I'm doing some sort of Yoga to prevent my head from hitting. Must just be muscle memory from getting in and out of Tacomas for years on the drivers side.

    6’8” I’m sure it has to do with proportional issues but I have no major probs fitting in my 2021 Tacoma, no moon roof I’ve driven smaller calls that were difficult for long drives. No such problems yet noticeable with my truck.

    I'm 6'3" and test drove a 3rd gen with sunroof before settling on one without a sunroof. Headroom wasn't necessarily an issue but I felt like the liner above the door has less clearance and my hat would bump into it when checking my blind spot. Small issue; probably could have lived with it or worked around it but ended up with a truck without a sunroof for various other reasons.

    Little of this, little of that.
    6'3" 225# and I have no issues at all. In fact I got seat jackers on the front (added a glock holster) and I still have no issues.

    6'3" and more torso than legs. Wish the cab was like 5% bigger but wanted a manual truck so I learned to deal with it. Additional headroom without the sunroof is also why I chose a 2018 over 2019 when I got my pro.
