    Oh look, another mod....
    The sunroof does make a difference. I'm 6' 3". The interior height wasn't an issue for me (I have a sunroof in my truck), the issue was the thigh/hip support.

    My truck is my daily driver so 95% of my mileage is highway. I installed seat jackers and I got the extra thigh/hip support that I needed. Before I installed them, my legs would hurt after going on long commutes or trips.

    Nothing better, than a in person sit down and test drive, all bodies are not proportioned the same. I'm 5-11 and sit as tall as my 6-4 neighbor who is all legs.

    6'2" here, no issues with my seat. Have it most of the way back too. I did try the seat risers out of curiosity. Just fronts, just backs, both together, nothing was comfortable for me. Even felt like I had extra tension at the back of my legs when they were installed. So they got returned. Back to stock and comfort.

    I would like the seats to go back a little further to get a little further from the steering wheel.

    the best option i found for me, 6'1" 34in inseam, was to drop my seating position through carving the bottom of the seat foam and bucket it. went from a totally awful seat to the most comfortable one i own, can drive for hours now. find an experienced upholstery shop to do it.

    6'3 with sunroof and I was very uncomfortable for the first week as I had the seat all the way back, I found moving it closer and up a bit gave my legs/thighs the support I needed, was pretty comfortable for the 2 hour drive I took.

    I'm 6'2" and never really had a complaint about the seat comfort. I do wish the door was a little different where my leg rests against it though, but its not that big of a deal.

    6'1" here, 2020 with a sunroof. The seating position is likely different than you're used to but is decent with the power adjustment. Long drives the Tacoma is far from the most comfortable but it's tolerable.

    6' 1" here. I keep my seat tilted back a bit and find it very comfortable. I just wish the steering column telescoped like the one on my BMW; perfecto for my Taco would be if I could have the steering wheel about 1" closer to me.

    I wish the steering wheel would pull out a bit since the seat has to be back so far for comfort. I tried front seatjackers and it was very comfortable but had to remove them due to no space between legs and steering wheel.

    I am 5' 10" with a 30" inseam so I ended up sitting with my legs kind of splayed out and thighs unsupported. My knees would hurt after an hour or so.

    The Desert Does It Seat Jackers are great and resolved all of my issues, but it does reduce the distance between the top of your thighs and the steering wheel, so keep that in mind if you have a linebacker build.

    I'm 6' in a '21 DCSB with the power seat and a 3 year old seating behind me. Longest drive I've went on in a single day was ~7 hours and I was comfortable. Only complaint I have is that I feel like my eyes are looking out the top 6" of the windshield so sometimes at stop lights, I have to bend down and look up to see the red/green light.

    6'4", 34 inseam, sun roof and front seat risers from Desert Does It. Thighs fully rest on the seat and I don't feel like an Apollo astronaut.

    I am 5’11”. Two factors made a tremendous difference in seating comfort for the OR compared to a SR model that I test drove
    1. Power seats
    2. Seat Jackers (front lifters) that I installed.
    Bottom line = I have zero seat discomfort once I got it dialed in. Now only if my mechanic won’t move my seat!

    6'0", long arms/torso and short legs, no moonroof, and it's ... OK. The splayed out position can be a bit tough on longer drives, but for me the bigger issue is the lumbar support. There's enough of it, but it's in the wrong place ... and its up/down position can't be adjusted.

    6’4”. Test drove ones with manual seats. Not comfy. Power seats in my ‘21 made a big difference. I have the front all the way up and the back all the way down. No moonroof helped a lot too as I was pretty close in the ones I test drove with them. Coming from an ‘11 Camry seating position in my ‘21 is darn close to the same. Have taken a couple of 3-4 hour road trips and felt pretty good.
