1) Center console is too wide - not enough room for me to stretch out. 2) Seat can be raised and lowered (good) but at its lowest position it feels like the cushion leans down making me feel like my body slips forward. 3) Arm rest on door too high. see full Scion xB review |

This is a vehicle designed for people 5 fett 11 inches and under - no two ways about it. If you are 5 feel 11 or over you will not enjoy this truck. see full Toyota 4Runner review |

The consequence of reducing overall height while maintaining trail worthy obstacle clearance is a relatively low to floor seating position more attune to sedans. Seats are comfortable though even for a big framed person. see full Toyota 4Runner review |

Seat position low to floor leaves you sitting with a knee high position. Seats itself are comfortable, but there is no space for your feet under the front seats. All floor surfaces are almost flat though considering it truck roots. see full Toyota 4Runner review |
