Question Driver Height... Will I fit? =)

I'm looking into buying a Lightning, and I have kind of an odd question, but it's important to me.
I'm 6'7, and wondering if it would be a comfortable fit for me. I do.. alright in my Z28 right now. I testdrove an F150 with the standard bench (non power), and it's hard to judge from that.
Is anyone on the board near my height? If so...how do you fit?

I'm not as tall as you are. I'm 6'2". I fit with room to spare. Lot's of room to spare. I only weigh about 200lbs. though. There are guys here that are much larger than I, and I have never read any complaints on this issue.

I'm 6"5, size 16 shoe, and weigh 250. I fit with ease, and even have the seat all the way back and a little up. hope this helps.

Im 6'3" and when road racing I move the seat a couple inches forward and up. The electric seat gives you a lot of flexibilty.

For normal driving I typically run the seat all the way back and have plenty of room.

6'4" here. 300 lb slug. If you don't fit in this truck, you won't fit in anything. Seriously, I have problems in my wife's T/A for long drive comfort. But in the L, I have the seat partly forward with headroom galore.

I'm 6'6" and 295lbs. and fit VERY comfortably. No problems. Granted I have the seat all the way back and reclined all the way, but it works great. Good luck.

There is plenty of head room. But like most regular cab pickups we could use a little more leg room. Bob.

My Bro-in-law has a '00 Silver Bolt and is 6'8" and he has no problems. Said it was the only truck he felt comforable in. He has driven it from OK to GA and back and didn't complain about cramping or anything, so you'll be fine in it.

I'm 6'8" 220 lbs. The leg room is much better than most vehicles.
Very comfortable !

I"m 6'6" maybe 6'7 and I fit in my L with no problems. In fact that is a major reason I traded in my Cobra for it. I also have to wear a helmet at the track which uses another inch or so of headroom and I've never had a problem. I can also fully extend my legs underneath the pedals which is nice when you need to stretch your legs on a long trip.

6'7" here - no problems at all. Just put the seat all the way back and you will have no problems.

RIGHT! I thought I was tall at 6'3". JEEZE!

My co-worker is 6'6" and a good 350 to 400 pounds and he fits in my truck fine.
