Anyone tall driving a regcab? a buddy of mine is looking for an older yota 4x4 and most of the ones were seeing are reg cabs (none local to test out) , hes wondering if theres enough room? ive never owned a reg cab so i have no idea. Thanks.

 

my little brother drove a 86 2wd for a long time and he is 6'4" and about 250

Not alot of room but it was ok

 

i had a 93 reg cab im around 6 foot it wasn't very comfy a smaller steering wheel helped some

 

I'm going to say no. I'm 6 feet and I had the seat as far back as it would go, which was far enough for me, but not someone 6'5".

You're probably going to have to remount the adjustment rail, and place it a little farther back- BUT there is no room to do so in a reg cab. Look for an extra cab.

 

thanks for the quick replys. Looks like we'll try and look for an Ex-cab

 

I'm 6'4 210. I have two 6x9's boxed behind the bench seat which prevents me from moving all the way back and a roll cage. I fit in my truck no problem.

 

im 6'7" 360 lbs. and drive a 4runner. My biggest advice would be to buy a grant steering wheel that is smaller. this helps me as well as laying the seat back a lil. I tell everybody that i sacrificed my comfort for the reliability of the vehicle! sorry i know its not a reg cab.

 

I'm 6'6" @ 290# just got a reg cab 86 4x4...it's better that the 92' honda accord work car...

 

I'm 5'10" and I fit fine!!

 

6'3"...reg cab is nice and comfy...have no problems whatsoever!

 

My cousin's 6'5 with pretty broad shoulders and he drive's my singlecab '84 all the time no biggy. I'm 5'9 with shoulders a good 2-3 hands width wider than his though, and my only complaint is that I almost always have to drive with the windows down, and I touch shoulders with the gf when she rides shotgun (and she's a pretty small and petite thing).

I know, I'm a freak. I great wider instead of taller like the rest of the family lol.

 

I think it depends on your position of comfort while driving. I sit pretty upright and am uncomfortable leaning back too far lowrider style. I'm 6'4" and could go 1 notch further back in my '86 regular cab. I do think tilt steering is a requirement for the tall ones though.

 

Length isn't everything...also have to have some girth

 

thanks for the input, i personally think he'd be fine, but i guess he'll just have to find one and see for sure.

 

Yeah...probably best if he just went and sat in one and drove it around and see his decision from there.

 

6 foot 4 and some change. 220 lbs.
i fit ..
and i have subs behind the seat..

best thing you can do to make it seem like u have more room..

grant steering wheel..
like a 12" or 13"

 

I drove a '85 reg cab and a '89 reg cab. Back then I weighed around 200 and I'm 6' tall and in my early 20's. It was ok for short distances, but it sucked driving from San Diego ( Camp Pendleton) to Seattle and back again. Years later ( right now....) I have a '92 xcab SR5. I'm up to 230 lbs. The stock bench seat kills my lower back after more than 2 hours behind the wheel, but I have much more room inside of the cab.

The reason for the long, drawn out reply: look for an extra cab truck. If you buy a reg cab, the first time you drive an extra cab you will kick yourself for not buying one in the first place!

 

WHAT? Those bench seat are so comfortable. I had a work )truck 1988 single cab) with those and itwas great.

 

as long as you can drive with your windows down its not bad

 

Yea im that friend that cwaters1184 is talking about. Im 6'5 150lb haha and was wondering. I drive a single cab s10 and couldnt imagine it being any smaller.
