Whilst you did "fit" after a fashion, I do remember lots of ideas about how to lengthen the cab to make it more comfortable... do you?

I'll stand by my claim. anyone over about 5'6" has the seat all the way back and from then on it's just increased contortions and discomfort as you get taller.

agree I'm 5'8 and I find it hard sometimes but on that I've got used to it (gotta move the seat forward and make the back straighter in other cars :lol: )

yes but then I'm not fair, I'm the devil incarnate or something according to wardy :D

What I was getting at was I was able to be comfortable in the vehicle whilst my brother couldn't fit even though he was 2" shorter. Some people can fit whilst others wont, also some will be comfortable while others wont. it really comes down to personally trying the vehicle. Don't discount it just because one person was uncomfortable

X3 I swapped a SWB for a LWB. Length is good (according to my missus who has been leaving pamphlets for me to read).
