Any tall owners?

[Papalecki]

One “criticism” I’ve read has been how the Glad isn’t great for tall drivers. Are the dimensions that far off from a wrangler? Any owners taller than 6’ disagree?
Sorry for the typo in the title

I have more head room with my Gladiator than I had in my F250 with a factory sunroof. I like to sit upright and I either had to slouch in the seat or recline the seat to be comfortable. I can sit like I like in the Gladiator. I’m 6’ even. I kinda wish I could move the seat back one more notch.

I'm 6'4" and have no issues other than my knee resting on the transfer case lever at times.

I 6'4" and fit fine, it's not spacious by any means, but I'm comfortable.

I do wish the seat would go lower and the bottom had more support for my thighs.

I’m 6’3” and came from F150s. Head room is good for me but agree with others. If the drivers seat would go back a tad farther and a tad lower I would be a tad happier! Nothing to worry about though at this point.

I'm 6'4”, 185lbs. Plenty of room for me. Find the JT very comfortable.

I'm just under 6ft and my BF is 6'4. We have a manual Gladiator and both of us love it. It's my daily driver, and I actually have to pull the seat close to the pedals to be able to fully depress the clutch. Foot space is awesome. Sometimes on long interstate/highway stretches my right knee will touch the 4x4 lever, but it doesn't move it at all.
MY BF on the other hand sits as far back as he can and would like an additional 1-2 inches of space, but he likes to be really far back, otherwise he says it's very comfortable.
With the seats all the way back, we can both still sit in the back seat, although it is a smidgen tight for my BF.

6,3 here. The rearview mirror is way to low. When mine gets here I'll try the flip like past jeeps. If that doesnt cut it I'll pull the thing and go for an aftermarket. Past that it fits me fine..

I'm 6'4", and one of the first things i noticed in the truck was how much space and head room i had for being tall.

6'6 220+, I fit fine.

This is the guy who is doing all of that complaining

6'3" here and as others have said, no issues for me. I'm quite comfortable in mine.

One thing I'll note, I put on a sun shade that is designed to stay on all the time, even with the freedom panels on. It's great, but when I have the top on, the sun shade sags a bit and touches the top of my head. Hasn't bothered me enough to remove it yet, but just an FYI.

I'm 6'5" 210# and fit perfectly fine in my Gladiator. I did add convex mirrors to the bottom corner of the mirrors, as with the seat fully back, the B pillar becomes more of a blind spot. I also came from a Super Duty, so a little size difference, but still more than manageable. Road trip back from Iowa last weekend was 800 miles, and a good test of comfort.

6'5" 235 and I fit fine, not as anywhere roomy as an f150/f250 but if I put 66k miles on my JK in 4.5 years, I can put twice that on a gladiator!

Haha I mean I have gotten used to it but I'm 6'5 270 and I am alittle tight head room wise....I can't put my head on the head rest without hitting the speaker crossbar....the sight line is to high and have to duck to see traffic lights. It definitely needs to go lower for tall guys it is an issue .....

6'3" 215# No issues
