40 inches to the belt line. So not that long. My other supercab Ranger was the same way. I don't like to sit too close to the dash. I guess my arms are too long.

6'1".

I have my seat height pretty high and I would have tolerable leg room behind myself.

6'4" with plenty of leg room, I'm a few clicks forward even. But that's also why I couldn't even consider a Tacoma, no headroom.

Might want to check your leg angle to make sure you're not over extending/in a less than ideal position to apply full pressure to the brake if needed. I know if I fully extend I'm reaching juuuuust a bit.

42" to beltline.

I want to take a look this spring and see if the seat bracket can be modified to gain a couple more inches. I'm betting it won't be easy.

I don't like that my knee hits the dash where it swoops down to meet the console.

I'm 6'0" and I sit all the way back. It's kind of pushing the limits of what's comfortable for me and I'm not really a big fan of the seat. I have a hard time finding a comfortable position with the headrest and my shoulders get sore on longer drives. The seat on my 2010 Ranger was much more comfortable.

Roger that! I really liked the 60/40 seat in my 2010 too. The only problem with it was that it wasn't attached to a 2019 Ranger!

6'5" with 36" inseam. I have to do a little contorting to get in, but nothing too bad. My 89 Ranger was a regular cab and I weighed about 210 lbs (245 now) and I definitely had to get in a certain way and was never able to stretch out like I can now.

I'm 6'3" and I'm comfortable even on an 800 mile trip I took. I have the seat all the way back.

I've always driven smaller vehicles so the 2019 Ranger feels big to me. My last Ranger was a regular cab and was a little crowded feeling, but doable.

The telescoping steering column is a big plus as well.

I'm 6' 1" and I have the seat a few clicks FWD. It's a little closer that I usually put it on my other vehicles, but I want to keep some usable space behind my seat and still want to have a good view out the side windows without looking into the B-pillar. It was a little weird feeling at first, but now I've kind of adjusted some of the other settings to the point where I'm getting used to it and don't get uncomfortable on long drives.

I'm just under 6'2" and no problems, in fact I think it's the first car I owned where I didn't have to automatically put the seat back as far as it would go.

I realized that OP has the SuperCab and not the SuperCrew. Maybe that has a shorter rail than the SuperCrew?
