    I'm new to these trucks and to cars in general. I've recently become very interested in picking one up and found a 78' long bed with 66,000 miles for 1,700.00. I don't have it in my possession yet but I'm going to looking at it this week.

    My question is this. Being 6' 3" tall, can I expect to fit somewhat comfortably in this truck? Are there any tall guys here who can chime in?

    I'm really excited.

    Thanks for any help.

    My local Toyota guru is like 6-3/4 tall
    Whenever I got my truck back the seat base was all the way back which puts the seat back straight up in my standard cab

    So I would say your ok as long as you don't mind sitting straight up
    If your looking to lean back then you need to do this
    LOL!
