Sat in the 4th Gen 4runner

I don't want to cutup the new 4runner and really never thought I would but I cannot believe how little head room is in the new 4runner. I am not talking just about the back 2 rows which have less than the fronts, each lesser than the other. :wtf:

I was at the Autoshow in TO and there was another guy who was taller than I (I am 5'10) and the top of his head was just starting to touch the headliner. As for the second row....forget about it! Are all the 4th Gens like this???

All I can say is Holy Sh@! I wouldn't want to go over a big bump not wearing my seatbelt!!

Yup their all like that but I have no problem being over 6 feet tall but I recline the seat and have long arms but then again Im so uncomfortable sitting up right driving, the 3rd Gen is not any better maybe the seat was just messed up from previous person who sat in it, once you fix the seat and drive it

Mega head room is in the GX

dunno about you but I'm 5'10 as well and I have absolutely no problems driving my truck and for sitting in the rear.... well i've done that to just see what it felt like and I must say I still have room to spare.

maybe the seat was positioned straight up or something?

4Gen Headroom

I am 6'0" and there is enough headroom for me. I do have the drivers seat adjusted all the way down.

I am 6'8" and I have no problem at all fitting in the front or back seat of mine. I do slouch somewhat, but not crazy. In the back it is close though and definitely a no go under the center light thingy.

Don't you guys know you just gotta get your "lean on !"

I've never had a problem siting in my rig, I'm 5'10 as well and feel comfortable in all seats, including the back.

Thats what I'm talking about, I thought all guys knew how to do the lean. For me it was natural skill.
