Iā€™m 6ā€™1 with 34ā€ inseam. I like to drive with a more upright position than most other people I know and have no issues with leg room. I think this truck has the most comfortable seats Iā€™ve ever had in a vehicle!

6'5" 38" inseam. I was amazed I fit!!! Make sure you get the fully adjustable seats. Tilting the seat pan down in the back and up in the front makes it more comfortable.

I'm only 6'4" with the same inseam and that makes ALL the difference in damn near every car/truck I've ever had.

6'1" here and there's plenty of leg room. My right knee does sit a little close to the console but that's more of how I sit than lack of room. I could lower and or move the seat back, but I adjust it forward a tad to ensure my daughter has plenty of leg room when she's in the back seat. So I adjust it for her and leave it. That's a carry-over from driving a GTI for years and having kids.

I'm 6'-1" with a 34" inseam. Today I drove a Lariat and I came away wondering if the leg room was going to be adequate, especially for longer drives. Tomorrow I'll be checking out an XLT with the manual seat to see how that is.

So tall guys, are you generally satisfied with the leg room in your Ranger?

Thanks.

No, Ė‹cause the Steering is not adjustable in the horizontal axis and i didnā€˜t have monkey long arms...

and the GTI since 2005 is the mark of comfort for vehicle seats and setting options imho.

Really? I have an XLT and the steering wheel moves in and out as well as up and down.

... mhhh. Another Point wich makes it annoying to be forced to buy the WORLD Ranger designed from shepherds who drive on the wrong side of the road in AUS. Mine is a Wildtrak. And if you have the 6ā€œ bed you only get the features of the XL it seem. The seatbelts arenā€˜t adjustable in high, also... itā€˜s a mess. Next month I visit the upholstery because the seat comfort is just a joke. Hope he can make it as comfortable as the GTI still is.

Ahh... OK, that makes sense why it doesn't move that way then.

I'm 6'3". I like it just fine! I learned to tweak the seat in different ways over time, because I did feel like it didn't slide far enough at first. But really it is good and comfy once it's set right.

I did go with an XLT, and noticed I like the seats better than the Lariat
I'm also 6'1" 34" inseam at 225#. Recently drove to Chicago from VA and back comfortably with no issues.

You're not missing anything, the adjustable steering doesn't come back far enough to be worth anything useful.

"Forced" to buy the Ranger? So you had no choice? That sucks.

Maaaan. TRY to understand the context, plz... In europe you only can buy a WORLD Ranger. Got it? There isnā€˜t any other way to get a xTra cab with a engine bigger than 2.x liters. At the end there is no way to get a xTra cab at all if u donā€˜t want to buy a WORLD Ranger, a Nissan or a Toyota...:rolleyes: or u pay the double for a imported us truck without any warranty.:beer:

edith ment: maybe I got u wrong. So yes, this sucks :blush:
