I've been biting my tongue and not responding to this one, but here goes anyway. I'm 6'2" and my truck is equipped with heated/cooled seats and a moonroof. I have roughly a 33" inseam so yes some of my height is torso related. With my seat in the upright position my hair (what's left of it" sometimes touches the headliner unless I slouch down in the seat. Most ball caps will touch the ceiling and I don't even try with the hardhat.

It has to be a result of all the gadgetry located under the seat now for the cooled seats. My 06 had a moonroof and I definetly had more room in that truck. The seats just don't go down as low as they did on previous models. There was a thread on this topic a few months ago directly relating to not having Stetson room in the new trucks.

Just went out and tested, just about the only way I came up within Inch of the Sun Roof was if I put the Seat back all the way up, so I guess it is possible. Maybe I lay back to much in mine to get the same effect. But I do know this I am really comfortable and when I turn the heat on in the seat, I am in Pig heaven....

I have 2 other trucks both Chevys and these new fords drive like a dream. Interior is superior than my Chevs. I am 99.9 % thrilled with this truck. Only question is the seat.

I have the same setup in my rig and I am 6'2". I did notice some slight rubbing when I first got the truck, but since I have adjusted the backrest to a more comfortable angle, I have an inch or so to spare... lack of headroom is definitely caused by the sunroof in these trucks.

YUP, loss of headroom with Moonroof, no doubt.

I just lean to the right and drive.

Do you have the moon roof?

Guys PLEASE calrify if you have a moon roof. I believe that you lose at least 2" with the moonroof. I commented on this 2 months ago. Everyone seemed to agree. Nothing I can do now, though.

I'm 6'2" with a long torso. My truck has the heated/cooled leather, no sunroof, and I have about 2" of headroom to spare. I test drove a truck with a sunroof and it was too tight. I fit in an '09 with a sunroof no problem, and had initially presumed I would fit in a sunroof-equipped '11.

I can't really add much to this because I'm only 5'11..so obviously I have plenty...one thing I can tell you is the heated and cooled seats has zero to do with the seat height.If there is any difference its caused by the sunroof.
