THE SIDE NOTE - Ok, this is kind of a niche video as a small % of the population is tall. Nonetheless, I thought it was an interesting video to make and I'd be interested to find out what the thoughts of tall people are about SUVs? Which ones make the most sense to you? Which ones don't make sense? Let us know your thoughts.
As a very tall woman, I thank you😅
I’m 6’5 270lb I currently drive a Volkswagon Atlas fully loaded and it’s very nice for me, I think I’ll be buying a fully loaded Ford Expedition next; although the suburban looks really spacious as well.
@sugu8403 how's that atlas on the leg room? Can you stretch all the way? I wish I can get the Tahoe but it's out of budget. I'm pushing for the pathfinder by the end of the month
@@dannyg1542 For legroom the Atlas is really good I have my chair moved back about 3/4 of the way and it’s very comfy especially with the lumbar controls, one con though is I have to duck to go into it because it’s not as tall as a full size like the Expedition, Suburban, Escalade etc. but the headroom once I’m inside is really nice! And the trunk space is massive with the third row down 😁
Why not do one for fat or big body people. Im sure it can help a lot of people. Though a segment for taller drivers may be a small segment. Im sure there is a much larger niche for big drivers
these videos are useless for tall people. it's not about 'headroom and legroom' - almost all vehicles have adequate numbers. What really matters to people 6' 4" and up is: visibility, seat depth/bolster comfort, center console intrusion.
Sometimes can’t see the lights
I am 6'4, the only Mid Sized SUVs I can find are 2022/23 versions of Nissan Pathfinder, Ford Explorer and Hyundai Palisade. It's no wonder the Palisade is the best selling SUV right now. They are the only ones with legroom over 44 inches; unless you want to buy a large SUV like the Escalade, Suburban or Tahoe. It's very frustrating finding an SUV you can fit in. Why don't they get rid of that silly 3rd row and give the driver more legroom?
this is exactly my problem. you and i are probably around the same size. ive yet to sit in a palisade, but i used to own a 2015 sonata several years ago. 45.5 inches of legroom and 40 inches of front headroom. it was perfect for me. the new sonatas look alot smaller. i havent had a chance to sit in one though.... im in the market for a new car. id really prefer a sedan, but they just dont make them big enough these days. i may really need to look into the palisade.
6'4 and I was wondering if the palisade was big enough and future proof for my kids as passengers since they might be tall too.
How about Hyundai Santa fe 2024-2025? They have like 45 inch legroom
As a 6’7” driver I can tell you that:
1) will not fit in any jeep besides the wagoneer (the same as dodge too)
2) the full size SUVs in GMC, don’t fit into / the same as their trucks
3) ford expedition / F-150 is the only one that fits me (steering wheel is high out which is a plus)
4) the pathfinder is like I’m sitting up right in a chair that has no room, the same in the Infiniti
5) Atlas is decent but the remodel version (updated) I would check just in case
6) no Asian brand cars would fit except the new Honda Pilot, and possibly the Hyundai/Kia Telluride/Palisade
7) have to find a 3 row suv midsize to suit
I’m just shy of 6’5” and I can confirm
I’m looking for a video for tall families. My teen boys are 6’3 and 6’5 so looking for rear leg room. Prefer not to have 3rd row.
If you find a car with the second row on tracks without the 3rd row, I'm all ears. Haven't found anything yet.
I guess they think tall people don't care about fuel efficiency or reliability
Sadly I have to try on vehicles like clothes. I wish aftermarket would make modifications for tall. Jee0 has pucks to raise the seat risers. I modified the seat brakets of my YJ. I happen to be 6'3" inch with an inseam of 31 inches...
I imagine it starts to become a whole different world for certain purchases when you get much pass 6 foot
I'm 6'8 and a few years back when I was car shopping when asked what I was looking for all I said was "something I can fit in" the salesperson was talking up a car saying it was perfect. I couldn't get my knees past the steering wheel 😄
Jeff, I need to raise my passenger's seat to accommodate a very short/elderly parent. How do I find these "pucks" and where do I go to install them? I do not want to install anything on my own. Also, I want it done correctly so nothing regarding safety is compromised. Thank you.
Short people are envious of tall people, but being tall just sucks, because the world just isn't made for you.
At 6'6" with the seat as low as it goes, my head is pressed into the wrangler's roof. It is TERRIBLE to the point of dangerous for tall people.
Yes no way is a wrangler good for tall people. At least a 6’9” tall person
Shawn, which vehicles have you found fit you well? Thank you!
@@staceys1870 2018 Chevy Silverado and 2020 Kia Rio
@@OMEGATHENIETZCHIAN Thank you!!
I am 6’7” and bump mu head in potholes in my wrangler. Send it back to the dealership to custom modify the seats to add some headroom
Jeep wrangler! Reallly. That might be the the worst for tall people
They kill my knees.
I understand the leg room is not optimal in the Wrangler and someone else in the comments has pointed this out. I won't rehash my response to this previous comment but check it out and hopefully you'll have a better idea why it made the list.
The Wrangler is tricky. Because, yes, my right leg can bump into the steering wheel. However, my LEFT leg can be fully extended straight. I can't do that in any other vehicle other than a BMW 5 series (but that's a sedan). This was most important to me because folding my left leg causes it to push into the door panel on most every car. Ironically, short Wrangler users actually buy 'dead pedals' aftermarket and install because they struggle to have something to rest their left foot against.
If you're a little claustrophobic, I can see how the dash sort of bumps out closer to your chest area.
I’m 6’4”, and all comments I 100% agree with. Can you guys tell me a vehicle that would work for tall guys like us?
If you're looking for an SUV I'm not sure. But I bought a 2022 Kia K5 last July and it is by far the ROOMIEST car I've ever driven. I can drive with my legs and arms fully extended and I'm 6"3. Fantastic car too. I highly recommend it.
I bought the Subaru Ascent in January and by far its been the roomiest vehicle I've owned.
Thanks Kyle and Adam I appreciate your help.. I still haven’t pulled the trigger so this is good information for me
I'm 6'4 foot and I think the toyota highlander or the RAV 4 might workout for you it's better than sitting in a small Sedan with lesser legroom.
im replying to this a year later. did you end up purchasing a new vehicle? if so, what did you get? im in the market for a new car and you and I are the same height
I’m 6’5 and a half, and have no issues with my 2023 Bronco for sizing. Headroom and leg room are more than ample. Only issue I’ve had is the reliability of the Ford brand. That has been less than stellar.
I never ever comment on RUclips but this video is real BS. I’m a tall driver (6’-3”) and can tell you that the Wrangler is a torture chamber for tall drivers. I don’t know where they got the legroom numbers from, but the Wrangler doesn’t fit tall drivers. Not even close.
The headroom and legroom data can be found on Jeep's website: www.jeep.com/wrangler/specs.html.
This video is not necessarily about the absolute best SUVs for tall people as generally the largest SUVs tend to have the most head and legroom...wouldn't be a very useful video to just list the largest (not to mention most expensive) SUVs on the market.
Instead, the goal was to list the best SUVs of varying sizes, prices, purposes (ie. offroad) and styles as tall people--just like anyone else--have budgetary concerns, have desires to use SUVs offroad, prefer certain styles, etc.
I have a family member that is 6' 5" and I know full well the biggest SUVs tend to work best (for instance, the Chevy Suburban) but the variety of SUVs listed in this video--based on the combination of legroom and headroom specs--are ones that may best appeal to tall people more than others..not that they are absolutely ideal Everyone is unique and only once you sit in a vehicle can anyone truly tell if it's right for them. And let's not forget, tall is a broad category...people that are 6'1" may easily view a vehicle differently than someone that is 6' 5".
I’ts not about the data configuration, more about how deep it s the footwell and flexibility of drivers seat, also the egress and ingress.
Anything with less than 44” legroom shouldn’t even be on the list. Wrangler is too small for anyone over 6’8”
I've definitely caught more flack on featuring the Wrangler on this list than anything else but---just like anyone else--some tall people like off-roading and/or the features that vehicles like the Wrangler has. Obviously, it's not the optimal vehicle for tall people and clearly not a strong option for the very tall but it seemed appropriate to include an off-road oriented SUV.
you got them to ask if you can sponsor them right? absolutely unquestionale imagine me a 6'8 feet tall person watching this sincerly yet its all expensive brands
I’m 6’8 about to buy a Mazda cx5.:: I used to drive a mazda6
I need a thigh support and good fit for long legs at 6’6” 240 lbs
💯 torture box when it comes wrangler…and how could you forget the Dodge Durango?!? Sorry bud but you came a little short on this video lol…I’m 6’6, look into some German engineered vehicles if you need help.
I appreciate the feedback. As I mentioned in a response to a previous comment, the purpose behind the video was not to outline the absolute Best SUVs for Tall People as that would almost entirely comprise of the largest SUVs and, therefore, would ignore the needs of many viewers who--just like anyone else--have a variety of wants, needs and budgets. Instead, the goal of this video was to provide an assortment of the Best SUVs for tall people that included different price ranges, uses (ie. off-road), sizes, etc. Yes, that means some more optimal SUVs (again, generally larger SUVs) were left off and some SUVs that are not exactly optimal (ie. the Wrangler) were featured so that options for all types of would-be buyers were presented. In hindsight, I probably should have outlined this in the video because I understand where yours (and others) feedback is coming from.
Dude, I had to replace my Jeep Wrangler 4xE with BMW X5 due to comfort issues. I am 6’6”
Understand what you are saying and have discussed this before in previous replies. The idea was that tall people, just like anyone else, also sometimes want an off-road oriented vehicle and among those, the Wrangler would be one to consider for a tall person-not that it’s ideal. Same can be said about other vehicles on this list, i tried showcasing different vehicle classes and price points so thst it wasnt just the largest SUVs on the market which generally work best for tall people..
My husband is 6’5” and has only fit ok in Lexus GX, Toyota 4Runner, Toyota Venza
Many people hate 4Runner for being cramped being a body on frame SUV.
Toyota 2Runner and in general Toyota is terrible for tall people. dont bring it up
The guy doing this review sounds short. I'm 6'9 and I drive a 2021 Tahoe, with the AZ3 front bench seat....meaning no middle console, front bench seat like the good ole days
What would be best SUV Hybrid for tall person in 2025
Great job !
Thank you!
You should try a X3, I think it would work for anyone under 7'
No. I’m 6’10 with a large frame and even x7 is small for me.
6'5" . That bronco and jeep are not comfortable. This list is bogus
Since it's been awhile and sometime comments can get buried, I'll repost my response to a similar criticism published months ago:

@@auto_exclusive WTF?!? "This video is not necessarily about the absolute best SUVs for tall people as generally the largest SUVs tend to have the most head and legroom...wouldn't be a very useful video to just list the largest (not to mention most expensive) SUVs on the market. "
You sure picked an odd, now-clearly-meant-to-be-click-bait-y title, then didn't you: "Best 8 SUVs for Tall People."
GTFO with this BS.
As a tall person, Jeep Wrangler should not be on this list. Do better
I’ve responded to this feedback before, if you look at earlier comments you can find my response.
@@auto_exclusive I have to apologize for the sassy comment earlier. I shouldn't have said "do better". There are good recommendations in the video
@@jiveturkey9078 No problem, thanks for the reply!
You guys have to define tall. There could be a huge difference between 6ft2 and 6ft4 dude for leg spaces
Think of the video as being for “taller” people….not a specific height because even two people of the same height can have unique body features (longer legs or longer torso) and, therefore, may find the same vehicle more or less suitable for them.
The purpose of this video is to point out some vehicles that MAY be a good option for taller people…essentially a short list of possible vehicles to start with.
Hope that helps.
My 14 yo son is already 5'10".
I'm 6'3" and the wife is 5'8".
This is a necessary.
Yeah, it is necessary and I know from people in my life that as people get taller, the number of vehicles that will work quickly diminish.
I am 5'5 and l am struggling looking for a big enough SUV. LOL
how dare you say "Tall people are no different than anybody else." haha We are much better.
41 inches is not much legroom.

@@errolthomas3438 Right? Which vehicles have you found to be good for a tall person? Thank you!
All cars are torture for tall guys. We should start suing them
He said tall people not giants relax you Goliath people 😂

Toyota has been doing the worst designs after 2020. All cars getting smaller and smaller like Rav 4. They are designing for midgets at this point. I am moving away from Toyota because all new models are impossible for taller than 6.0 ft.
