Remember, these are my opinions. I know there will be at least 5 people who reply and tell me that I am mistaken and their truck feels perfect to them (I could almost print their names and responses in advance). I've owned a few trucks and have a lot of miles under my butt as we travel to races several times a month. I feel I can say I have a pretty good idea what has been comfortable to me and right now this truck isn't at the top of the list.
After a few road trips I've discovered several things I do not like about my interior. Let me start by saying I'm of pretty average height 68" with a 29" inseam and normal length arms.
1) I've found that the steering wheel to pedals relationship is weird. If I move the seat to a good position for my legs I can't comfortably hold the steering wheel (it's too far out and I'm stiff armed). If I move the seat to where my arms are a comfortable reach to the steering wheel my knees are at the dash (literately). I've owned 5 trucks and this one fits me terribly in this department. The telescoping wheel needs to come back 2" more or the pedals need to be set further forward IMO. I said I'd never own a vehicle without movable pedals again. I'm wishing I'd have stuck with that!
2) My headrests move up/down but not fore/aft. I have to drive with the seat in a fairly upright postion to get any comfort at all holding the wheel. The headrests seem to move my head foreward into an awkward position that strains my neck.
3) I can't rest my arms comfortably on the left arm rest and counsole at the same time with any kind of support. It's as though the seat is too high (it's in the lowest position) or the arm rest and counsole are too low. I can lean to one side or the other but that isn't comfortable on long rides.
I told my wife today on our 4 hour drive home that this truck causes me neck and shoulder strain like no other vehicle I've owned. It's very weird and something I don't see easily remedied. I spent 35K on a truck and I'm stuck with it as I'd loose my butt if I tried to sell/swap at this point (1500 miles). I hate to say it but Toyota missed the mark in creature comfort in my book. No one needs to reply that I'm not feeling the things I'm feeling because you can't know what I'm feeling. If you have helpful suggestions I'm all ears.
