How tall are you Titan owners?

I've taken a Titan for a test drive, and will be moving out of a 1st generation Expedition. I'm 6'4" and it appears that, while there is plenty of headroom in the Titan, the top of the windshield is about eye level, or maybe a bit lower than what I'm used to. The captain seats seem to sit a little lower, so it's maybe not as noticeable. Any of you other tall guys notice this? Maybe it's just the geometry of the roofline that gives the truck its stylish rake that causes this, but I am curious if anyone has any problems with it.

thanks

Almost 6'6"....no problems. Did the Captains chairs have power? Mabye the seat hight was adjusted high, not sure.

I am comfortable...after coming from a 01 Civic that I had to shoe-horn myself into.

6'4" - I actually have a CD holder on the drivers visor that hangs down a bit too. I'm guessing you don't like using the visor to block the sun while driving either? I haven't really noticed it and I have the bench seats. I do have a leveling kit installed so maybe that makes the view that much better.

6'1 - it took some getting used to after driving a 1994 Honda Prelude for 7 years. the car had plenty of leg room and i could see through the windshield just fine when reclining the seat a bit. the ****pit is very tight but the titan is very open... roomy.

6'5" - I need the Titan.

I did notice the lower windshield top, and find it very annoying. It's probably my only gripe with the Titan.

6' 3", Find my line of sight is sometimes interrupted by the tint at the top of the windshield where it meets the untinted portion. If I ever replace the glass I'll get one without the tint and all will be cool.

You know the seats are 6 way directional right?



The seats do go down fairly low for those who have a problem with the height.

I have mine to the lowest and i have around 4-5 inches of good clearance
