So I've noticed all these posts about people who don't fit in the new Tundra's. I believe them, and am curious as to why that could be. You see I'm 6 foot even and feel like I have tons of head room. But then I've been driving a WRX and Montero Sport, both which have less headroom.
So I did a bit of research. The new Tundra clearly has the least headroom of all the big 1500 sized trucks out there and has about an inch less than the old model. But that being said it has the same or more headroom than many of the "regular" cars and suvs out there. Some examples:
2007 Toyota Tundra 40.20
2007 Toyota Camry 37.90
2007 Ford 500 39.40
2007 VW Touareg 38.70
2007 Mazda 6 38.00
2007 Dodge Magnum 38.40
2007 Chevy Trailblazer 40.20
Now you can go find vehicles that have more, but you can find many more that have less. So my question is, is the problem really with the fact that people don't fit at all in the Tundra (like their head touches the roof), or is it a visiblity issue (meaning they gave you the space to fit but once up that high you can't see), or is it something else completely?
While I don't understand Toyota's thinking in making the truck bigger in nearly every dimesion and yet reducing the headroom by an inch, it seems most people, even taller ones should be able to fit in there. Obviously I'm wrong, I just don't get why, when so many other cars out there have so much less room.
Someone please enlighten me.
