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.

I’m 6’3, I had visibility concerns as well. I sat in the Broncos at Super Cel East the last two days and rode in one as well. NO PROBLEMS! BTW, I also had no problems with width either (I weigh about 240).

Sounds like it is not a problem. I'm 6'1" and drove a Miata. Every time you got the pole position at a light, you had to crane your head forward under the window top frame to see when it changed green.

I’m 6’3 and I have to do the same thing in my 2014 Taurus Limited. The windshield takes back so far that I have to lean forward to see the light change. I get to finally sit in one 5/3, but I’m not concerned. I’m also 280lbs and my Taurus B pillar is in the about same location as the bronco. My shoulder and upper arm is always against it, so not thinking it’s going to be a problem here. After seeing all the posts and comments under VISIBILITY SUCKS post, I think I’m less concerned than I was before.

I'm 6'3 and once I adjusted the seats (one electric, one manual) to a low position it was no problem. I don't think I lowered them all the way down, but didn't pay attention, not that much time to play with things at these events. Cabin felt snug but very comfortable, more sports car than truck though, definitely a bit tighter than my 04 Tacoma. But not by much.

Excited to report there is plenty of room. More room than a wrangler, and more comfortable.

Can someone get a shot of the rearview mirror mount? That's the only thing that bothers me on some cars, it's positioned right at eye level, instead of above eye level. Most mirrors let you move them upwards on their ball mounts. Does the Bronco?

I believe it’s fixed in place. Here is the best picture I have of it.
