I am kind of tall (6'-4") and the darn rearview mirror just isn't positioned for someone my size. When I turn, the mirror creates this huge blindspot, and I am always trying to point the mirror higher for optimum viewing out the rear. Yes my seat is down as low as it will go. I haven't seen anyone else mention this so now I am wondering if it just my rig or are others also experiencing this?

The other annoyance is the seatbelt seems to be to low in the back. It always digs deep trenches into my shoulder and chest, pretty uncomfortable. Anyone have similiar experiences?

Weird we have this beast of a truck and it isn't tailored for us beast of people.
 
I'll back you 100% on the mirror. I'm 6'6" and have to look under the thing when I turn right. You can't move it much higher. I even have my seat all the down and back and the back tilted back for my big self. :B:
 
Short person her and it fits me well.....5-9.......Try taking hot showers to shrink your self LOL.
 
I'm 6'2". I don't have any problems with my mirror, but if my wife puts down her sun visor and I'm trying to cross a two lanes to make a left turn on a four lane road, it's pretty hard to see. Also, I notice when I put my own sun visor down, it actually blocks my view. Maybe I need to lower my seat down all the way, but then I don't get any leg support. :6:
 
here, here..... I, too am normal size. 6' 4" and 300 lbs. It is correct that anyone smaller than that is abnormal, right? Right? Or they're 12 years old.............. ouch.

We have to face it--- there are more little people than normal people. So they build the trucks for them. That's okay though. Because we will burn longer in an atomic attack. Little people will go POOF, and we get to watch!!!!

That is good----isn't it????

Trophyman. ;D
