Do you mean you're reclined pretty far? I don't know how you drive like that. I sit more upright, which is why I run out of headroom @ 6'5" and 220 lbs. You can see the photos at the beginning of this thread.

Too bad you don't have enough headroom. Let us know if you find a more comfortable ride. I'm in the market, not brand loyal, and rate trucks in the following order:

1. Reliability.
2. Comfort.
3. Performance.
4. Fuel mileage.

I'd be interested to know if you find something more comfortable (which is really subjective, but I'd still be interested).

Thats the price you pay for being awkwardly tall. Vehicles are built for the average person in mind. Glad I'm average lol.

Today's trucks are 4,3,2,1 from what I've seen. Reliability is sacrificed for fuel mileage somewhat. Performance is pretty great. Tech is outstanding, the ride is good, but the seats from a mid 90's truck are more comfortable. But I value reliability as #1, since I seldom trade if everything works out right with the vehicle.

I don't recline but it's tilted back. The top button allows you to tilt the entire seat back. You must like to be really upright, may I ask what vehicle you drive now? The truck is the biggest interior I've ever owned.

I wonder if a headrest from the previous gen would fit and fix your issue? I have a 2014 and 2015 sitting at home and can check for you when I get back in a few days.

Try reclining the seat back an inch or so. You'll be surprised at the difference it makes.

I haven't seen anyone mention lowering the seat. I have electric seats, and I'm pretty sure when you lower the seat bottom it moves independently of the seat back.
