Windshield visibility for tall folk?

[Dillhole]

Looks to be a little better suited for tall folks than the Wrangler. I'm 6'5" and I fit in my Jeep fine albeit a little snug but fine but I'm definitely looking out of the top of the windshield and my heads only a little bit below the the roll bar. Still dying to drive one of these suckers to put my mind at true ease though.

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!

It looks like your left leg is crammed up against the door. Do you think that will be uncomfortable on a longer trip? Say over an hour or so.

I don't think it was actually touching the door, small gap to the side might be hidden by the difference in height from the top of my leg to the top of the gray handle. Either way, I did not find it cramped feeling at all. PS - the dead pedal is great and was very comfortable for my left foot / leg.

damn, did anyone else notice this?

Preproduction of course, but still...

Thanks, my biggest worry is cabin width. I'm used to driving trucks lol

It kinda just looks like the seam of the weather stripping/molding. Pretty sure that seam is hidden by the doors when on.

That's torn, right down the middle.

Let me put it this way, it's much better feeling in width compared to a wrangler, but its no F150

I'm good to go then! Thanks!

Since a picture is easier to explain. It's not a tear, it's the seam where the front and rear weather stripping/molding meet.

I have similar dimensions to you and that makes this post quite a relief.

I've done 500+ mile trips in vehicles where my legs rub the steering wheel and my head pokes the roof and I have the seat angled so far back that that I have to lean forward to steer in traffic. The struggle is real.

How was your right knee when you had your right foot on the gas pedal, was your leg still upright or resting against the center console? I'm long legged so I always drive with my leg resting against the center console. Some brands and models are not very comfortable, depending on the shape and size of the center console.

I too generally rest my right leg against the center console and this was comfortable for me. Didnt feel cramped or more narrow than would be comfortable. The most important thing for me is that my kneecap was not touching the dash, by a big margin.

if these seats are like the ranger / mustang there is a adjustment uo and down for tall / short people on the manual seats

Good stuff! I’m about the same size at you. Thanks man.

Very helpful - especially giving inseam. I'm a little shorter but have longer legs than you. It seems like OP's headline of VISIBILITY SUCKS is wrong as far as out the front anyway. It's possible out the back, There is a big spare tire out there...but use your mirrors and the camera and you're good.
