I am 6'2 and have always had a problem with cars and leg room. I saw a post awhile ago about moving the entire seat back a few inches and rebolting it but I assume this requires drilling and I don't have access to that kind of equipment right now.

One thing I have noticed though is that I have tons of head room. My question is this, does anyone make a seat cover that has a nice big cushion to sit on? I figure if I can find something that will work I can tilt the steering wheel up and have more of a truck type seating.

Any other suggestions for improving leg room would be awesome. Thanks!

I'm only 6'1" and feel the same about the 2nd gen. One possibility would be to remove the foot rest for the left leg. I haven't done it on mine yet, but I don't think there is anything there besides that "this is for short people to rest their foot on" hunk of plastic.
To me, a big part of the discomfort is having my legs flat and knees low (if that makes sense) If you can find them, a good SR5 seat that adjusts the front of the seat for height will get your knees up higher and make for more leg room. I have also considered fabbing up a simple bracket out of steel plate that is triangular in shape. The wide base would provide stability and would be drilled to match the factory hole(s). The top point of the triangle would be drilled to bolt to the seat bracket. You could gain a couple inches of lift in the front of the seat this way and get your knees up and be more comfortable. The rear mounting tabs would have to be bent some, but I haven't investigated yet on what this requires.
I suppose you could even raise the rear brackets, but there is a danger of making the mounting system weaker by not having an attachment to the body of the truck that spreads the load over a wider area. I think if the rear is raised, the support should be more than a stack of washers. Something like a 3" long piece of 1-2" square bar stock would be my approach. It wouldn't be much of a good idea to have some more leg room then get thrown into the steering wheel in a wreck because the seat ripped loose. If the front factory mounting assembly isn't different than the 1st gen, then this is really true. The front mount bracket on my 1st gen is only spot welded on. The only thing really holding the seat in place are the bolts in the rear.
I also personally don't like the idea of moving the seat backwards since at some point you start defeating the geometry of the safety belts.

I'm 6'2 as well. With the seat all the way back, and the Steering wheel adjusted I haven't really noticed a problem. Maybe, I'm just used to it now...But yeah, what Fahrenheit 451 said!

I"m 5'9" and i think it's cramped.

This is not a height-only issue. It has more to do with leg length vs. torso length. I'm 6'1 and mine is fine for regional travel. Long trips aren't as good since I can't completely straighten out my legs.
