I couldn't drive a 2009-10 because of the headrest design. An injury forces me to sit very straight up and the headrests would force my neck painfully forward.

As you get older, sadly, you'll come to understand.

No, her head wouldn't hit the headrest if I raise it to where it's comfortable. It's not a regular issue because she rides in the truck a maximum of 15 minutes a week. It was only during our 2 week vacation that I had to remove the headrest.

As for the driver's side, I have no problem unless I'm wearing my stetson or any other hat with a rear brim.

The headrest doesn't both me at all, but my father and mother-in-law both hate them on their trucks. Finally they just took the headrest off and turned it around backwards. Now they are happy.

I couldn't stand the headrests either. I fixed them by removing the headrests, wrapping them in a plastic bag to keep them clean, placing a board over the foam part and driving the truck on to them. If you do that so the truck holds the foam part down, you can then easily bend the tow posts by standing on them to get the head rest at the proper angle to fit your body. The factory would probably call this "easily adjustable"
