    6'6" 315 lbs all torso. I fit fine. I came from a 2005 mustang gt though so I was already squeezed. But the tacoma has way more room. Btw. 2010 dcsb

    I may get flamed for saying this, but have you looked into a Tundra? I had a 2000 and it had alot of cabin space compared to my 02' DC. The gas mileage isn't that much different and that's a V8 vs a V6.

    I'm 6'-1" and in the Tundra I had to move the seat up a notch or two, but in the Tacoma, I have it all the way back. The other thing I liked was the Tundra's seat cushion was a little higher whereas by comparison, the Tacoma feels like you're sitting on the floorboards. Headroom wasn't an issue in either vehicle. I only mention this due to your height.

    Good luck in your search and welcome to TW. :burnrubber:

    Well I don't fit. Haha. I sat in one and I was able to get in and all but I sat there for a few minutes and was already able to tell that it would not be comfortable.

    I dunno man, 6'8" is pretty giant.

    I would at least try one out first, I'm sure you'll physically fit but that and being comfortable are very different. A first gen taco is a small truck, maybe look at second gens?

    6'7" 235 lbs. DC works fine for me. Your knee will probably hit the E brake when you get in but as long as you look out for it you'll be fine
