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' 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.

at 6'4 and the captians all the way down. I still have to bend forward at stops lights to see when they are green. Other than that everything is great

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

6'4" here and pretty much my only complaint about the truck is the visibility.... I am usually just barely looking beneat the tint strip... I looked into lowering the power seat but the subwoofer is under there and is pretty much impossible... If the back of the seat went down another two inches I would be ecstatic. I am surprised when I read about guys who are 6'6" and have no problems... are you guys driving with the seat reclined into the back seat or what??? How can it not bother you? I am envious....

Listing how tall you are doesn't tell the whole story. To get a better idea, you would have to list your inseam too. Then you would have an idea of the size of the torso, a much better indicator that just how tall you are.

I am 6'4'', but my inseam is 34'' (relatively short), so my torso is relatively long. I am comfortable in the Titan, but I could do with another inch of downward seat travel, that would make it perfect.

One thing that is very annoying is that the sunvisors hang straight down when you flip them down to shield against the sun, they won't stay against the glass when you flip them down, then up against the windshield.

This makes them unusable to me, and I end up shielding my eyes with my hand, not a very safe thing to do sometimes.

Always ducking.
And don't forget those ceiling fans. I'm 6'4" and I have my seat lowered all the way. I have to lean the back of the seat back a little so that I can see a somewhat better. Atleast I do have that cool "Laid back G-Money" look going down the road. :)

6'1", the other day I had to drive my mom's Xterra and it felt soooo small. I don't recall it feeling that small when I had one. I've now been spoiled by the Titan. :clap:

I'm 6'3" and I can't see stoplights in my normal seating position. I have to lean to the side to see the lights. That's my biggest/only complaint so far. I thought the PRG leveling kit would help, but it made little difference.
