Windshield visibility for tall folk?

[RTLGarage]

The more and more I see pictures of people sitting in the driver seat, the more concerned I grow. Anyone above 6’ sit in the drive seat? Are you able to see out of the windshield without crouching down?

I’m 6’4” and bit concerned the seat will go low enough. Had that issue with the wrangler and a few other SUVs.

I have the same concern. Driving a early Bronco is very irritating

I'm 6'5" and have the same worry.

One of a few threads and pictures on the subject:

Lots of forum member reports that it’s not a concern once they got a chance to sit in one.

6’7”
360lbs

Headroom is reportedly not an issue either. Actual interior roof line is pretty close to the top of the windshield.

Yep, went with lower profile seats from Tom's bronco for my 72 because of that , and I'm only 6' .

Its a big deal if you ask me. I sold my 72 Land Rover Series 3 because I was looking at the top windshield crossbar all the time forcing me to crouch and that is a pain in the neck. The old trucks were undersized & not comfortable, I would assume Blue Oval had this point figured out.

Hell, I'm used to crouching down and holding my neck and head different ways to see from work lol- visor lights, radar unit, dash cam, gps, etc., etc in a Ram. I'm more worried about cabin width.

I'm going to sit in one on the 1st, I'm 6'5" so hopefully all is good. Leg room is my main concern.

6'7" so following this thread. I bet there'll be plenty of adjustments for the driver's seat.

6’4 also. Sat in one a few weeks ago. Felt great. Lots of headroom.

I hear ya. Having to duck down to view some traffic lights with my Series III can be a pain. Thinking of modding to extend the windshield up higher. Don't know how some owners use those added sun visors, would be like looking out of a cave while driving.

Taller owners might find the new Bronco takes a bit of getting used to, at least compared to a more raked car windshield.

6’9” 260lb. here. Haven’t found a vehicle yet that didn’t involve what looked like yoga positions in order to operate. Thank god for reclining seats and long arms. Getting in this bad boy no matter what it takes.

6’4 also.

I am also 6’4”.

Search the forum for 6’4”, and you will be shocked at the number of hits you’ll see.

6'5 here, 330Lbs, 32in inseam, 44in waist, size 15 shoes. Sat in a 4 dr OBX with power leather seats last friday. Much more room than expected. Also perfect windshield visibility for me, not too close to the roof as it is for me in a wrangler. Here are some pics with the seat all the way back and down. Even I don't need this much room, I would likely bring the seat forward some. I can't fit in a JL wrangler, so I am thrilled I will fit in the Bronco!
