Photos: Legroom and Headroom For Tall People in the 2021 Bronco

But at least there is no "sport bar" to crack your melon on when you have to lean back.

wasn't impressed at all with the headroom

Damn BG....you're making the tops - add a little elevation

OH ok, Ford employees makes sense.

I'm pushing over 6'9" on a good day lol. You'd be surprised how much 2 inches can make or break a vehicle for tall goobers like us. My proportions are mostly normal. My regular cab Silverado is actually snug, and uncomfortable on long drives (should have gone with extended cab and Ford lol).

The Civic? Everyone needs a shitbox lol You would be surprised how much legroom an 07 Civic coupe has in it, there just isn't much room to wiggle (left leg on firwall/door, right leg on firewall/dash). It is the lack of headroom and no Factory AC that I have the biggest problem with. I'm leaned so far back my arms are at full extension to reach the steering wheel. I'm good in most trucks, the only 2 cars I've ever been comfortable driving were a 85 Cutlass Supreme and an 06 Charger.

I'm hoping they have dummies or test vehicles when orders open, that's only a couple hundred models they need. I'm thinking that April is when they are expecting to have actual inventory. I wanted a Wrangler for my entire life but I don't fit in any of them, and Jeep has gone down hill. Really hoping to switch back to Ford, had good experience with them in the past, and the Bronco perfectly fills that itch. The Squatch package is what I want, but mostly a waste of money where I live, there is nowhere in Ohio I need the lift, big tires and lockers.

I'm gonna cut to the chase for my question. At 6'5 1/2" I'm a little worried about head room in the bronco. Who is the tallest person to actually sit in a bronco so far and what was it like? was it cramped was your head touching the roof? I don't like the idea of FORD wanting me to purchase a 50k plus vehicle that I have no even had a chance to sit in. I know I can refund my deposit and forfeit my spot in line but I don't really want to do that. Any info is greatly appreciated, and no your not cutting me down at the shins like the horse in Kingpin lol.



EDIT: i didn't see this post till after i posted, thanks to who ever merged my post into here, dont want to pollute the board

That was the problem I had with the original Bronco. The windshield frame was at eye level

Didn't matter how tall you were in the original Bronco, everyone had that problem. That's why they came up with an aftermarket windshield that put the wipers and motor on the bottom

Legroom looks ok for you big boys! This guy is 6'7" 360lbs

Any chance we can get him to sit in a 2 door?

 

[Halfsmoke00]

Awesome! Thank you, I'm 6'4" 300+ and its nice to know I'll fit in it before ordering.

Well looking at this i know my little 6ft 210 pound ass will fit in there just fine!!

 

[Gizmo]

As a 5ft 2 female, starting thing I should be worried about the opposite problem. Anybody got a phone book they can ship me

Do they still make those.?

I am pushing 6'8"... and I have had a horrible time with fitting into vehicles throughout my life. I'm currently driving a Grand Caravan, and I have about 1/2" of clearance with the seat reclined way back, but I cannot see safely without hunching way down! (To give you an idea, when I straighten out, I can see the bumpers and lower on the cars in front of me... I also get banged in the head with the frame on the roof rail when I hit a bump or pothole... not fun!).

I have absolutely fallen in love with the Bronco, and fitting has been worrying me. Given the specs on the website, (40.8" on the hard top and 43" on the soft tops?) I likely have the head room, but unless I sit in one I'll have NO idea about the sight lines and space to move my head around.
Fingers crossed!!

I too drove an '07 civic! I tried sitting in a new model and I could even get into it... my head was literally sideways during the entire ride.

When you get a chance to sit in a Bronco, I would LOVE to hear about your experience. If I manage to find one to sit in, I'll definitely let you know!

I'm 6'2 with a taller sitting height than most people my height, sat in one a week ago and wasn't impressed at all with the headroom. It's basically as limited in that department as the Wrangler and some people are going to find themselves having to recline the seat back more than they normally would to keep from scraping the roof panel.

This worries me a great deal... I'm a bit over 6'8"...
