Patrol Leg room

I'm 6'1" and find it okay.....I have a trailer brake controller above my left knee and it comes close to hitting. I've removed the footrest which lets my left foot extend a little bit. I've also read here that you can get a bit more room for your right foot by removing the plastic bump stop under the GO pedal and bending that one down towards the firewall a bit; but i haven't tried it myself.

I'm 6'2" and have woolen seat covers fitted to my Patrol. I find that my left knee ends up resting on the dash. It doesnt make it hard to drive,just not very comfortable after driving the car for a few hours. Has anyone tried remounting the seat on the runners to get more leg room?

My seat is rooted in the GU so I went to Foam Sales Myaree and bought a wedge which I stuck under the seat cover. Gives about another 2" padding under the bum, but tapers off at the front of the seat (behind knees). More of a flat seat now instead of a bucket or scoop shape.

I like it, the bit of fluff dosn't. Knees don't hit dash either. Cost about $10.

Scott I have probably just as great a problem or more so as 6'4" fellow in a ute GU 03 model. I have looked at aftermarket ones to some extent but they would want to be thinner to advantage me.

I have removed the foot rest to make it easier to stretch my legs and get my feet behind the pedals. Among the members there are bigger guys than me and driving Landcruisers but obviously I like some comfort in the way I sit and for my passengers. LOL

Gday, Yes i find my Gu very cramped, I'm 6' tall and i found the Gas pedal very close and quite upright. I have removed the plastic stopper under the pedal and removed the pedal and bent it about 25 mm back towards the firewall. I need to stretch out or my leg goes to sleep. I find the footrest for my left foot is ok but really not a lot of room there either, the clutch pedal is very close to it. When they bring out a totally new model they should look at the whole driving position. I still could do with another 2" in the seat backwards adjustment. I have three nephews, 6'3", 6'5" and 6' 6", I bet none of the guys could drive my Patrol for any length of time. If they dont adress this cramped position, the next generation tall guys wont be able to fit into them. Thank god for the cruise control. But then, its japanese and just like the Rodeo and all the little jap utes, they all have the same problem.... made in a country full of little people.

I'm 6'5" and find there isn't enough rear seat travel. whats so hard about giving us that? I bet adjusting our own runners would require an engineers cert too. Mind you, I sat in a Jimny the other day... It was so narrow - you wouldn't want to be claustrophobic.

Hi All,

Are the land cruisers any better?
