Tall Drivers Landcruiser 100 Series

How tall? I'm 180 cm and even with the sunroof Headroom / legrrom has never been an issue.

Probably best you go and sit in one before buying from a website though.... ;)

Cheers,

im 6'2 and have no problem at all-even on long trips can stretch legs fully with a bit of manouvering
head room no drama either-may be different with sunroof though?
gxl seats are fine
go for test drive and find out for yourself

I don't have any problems either with head room or leg room. You can tilt the steering wheel up to gain extra room. only issue I have sometimes is clouting spotties switch with my knee when getting in sometimes. A rocker switch will fix the problem when I break the existing one.
Seats are OK too although I have heard that you can have an inflatable lumar support fitted to your existing seats at a fraction of the cost.
I know what you mean with the dunnydoor seats LOL

Am 6'3" and keep hitting the grab handle above the door.
Know of another who had the seat base lowered in order not to hit the roof he's not as tall but longer in the body
As the others have said take it for a test

Did you check steering wheel adjustment - maybe it was on lowest setting?

ev,

Am 6'2" and find that there is plenty of adjustment left. You'd have pretty fat thighs if you couldn't fit under the s'wheel at its highest. The 100 series is a work vehicle, and is good to drive, and quite comfortable. Just a bit gutless when you've stepped out of the 79 series turbo!

To improve the seating in our 80 series, we got a pair of inflatable lumbar supports fitted by Motorcare in Bowen Hills. Made a big difference for long distance work.

Hooroo...

hi ev700, glad to see their is someone else who does not feel comfortable in a 100 series. im 6' 3" my view is thru the top 1/4 of the front window and everything just feels cramped. recently while away friends said that i must be joking or having a dig because i have a patrol, so i sat in there cruiser adjusted the steering/seat etc and they now believe me. cheers rob

I am 6'2" and don't have a problem with the roof or leg room. I find it very comfy and have driven up to 18hrs with 2 breaks with no dramas, but then everyone's back is different and we all have varied support requirements. I think ALL vehicles could use different seats customised to our individual requirements.
The only problem I had with height was when I had first installed my centre roof console and would hit my head when getting in - got used to it being there now and no longer an issue.

Thanks very much everyone for taking the time to reply. You all certainly set my mind at ease. Good tips on the grab handle and on blow up lumbar support too.

Way I see it now is that the seats will probably be OK and probably the adjustment was out. I am probably a longer in the back though as well.

But in any event, if i desire it, there are lower profile seats available.

Thanks fellas.

Hi ev700
A very good question and a issue that is as frustrating as trying to buy long trousers.
I have a 100 that is two years old and I am 6' 6. I regularly drive Weipa to Cairns, 9 hours in the drivers seat and do not feel cramped or uncomfortable at all.I have the standard seats but did get a custom made set of lambs wool covers which gives a little more padding.

The only other thing that i find more comfortable to drive is my 2.4 million dollar mining truck which i also sit in for long hours..

I hope you your new auto 100 when you get it as i would not change mine for the world now.Except on a new one. I can also vouch for the ARB bullbars as i hit a bull head on last week with very little damage to car and just sore ribs for the beast.
loving Cape york.
