A Tall Person’s Dream Vehicle: Top Picks at Thornhill CDJR
If you're over six feet tall and have ever tried cramming into a compact car, you know the struggle. From limited headroom to knees jammed into the dash, finding a vehicle that truly fits can feel like a full-time job. But good news, Thornhill CDJR has options that actually make driving enjoyable for taller folks across Logan, Chapmanville, and beyond.
Whether you're commuting down Corridor G, heading into the hills for the weekend, or just running errands in town, here's what to look for and the models that truly deliver comfort for tall drivers.
What Tall Drivers Should Look For
Before getting into vehicle picks, let's look at what makes a car tall-person-friendly:
- Headroom: This is the distance from the seat base to the roof. This is crucial if you don’t want to brush your head on the liner.
- Legroom: Front legroom should give your knees space to stretch without jamming into the dashboard.
- Seat Adjustability: Power-adjustable seats, especially with tilt and lumbar support, can make a huge difference in long-term comfort.
- Door Height & Entry Room: Getting in and out of the car shouldn’t feel like squeezing into a roller coaster seat.
- Steering Wheel Adjustment: Tilt-and-telescoping wheels allow taller drivers to keep their legs comfortable without having to reach forward.
RAM 1500: Room to Stretch Out
Top Pick: RAM 1500 Crew Cab
- Headroom (Front): 40.9 inches
- Legroom (Front): 40.9 inches
The RAM 1500 is a great all-around pick for taller drivers. Thanks to its wide cabin and generously sized front seats, it feels spacious without feeling bulky. Crew Cab models in particular give you space up front and in the back, perfect if you regularly have other tall passengers along for the ride.
The available 12-way power driver’s seat and adjustable pedals help you find that “just right” position without sacrificing visibility or comfort.
Jeep Grand Cherokee: SUV Comfort with Off-Road Ability
Top Pick: Jeep Grand Cherokee L (Three-Row Version)
- Headroom (Front): 39.8 inches
- Legroom (Front): 41.3 inches
The Grand Cherokee L adds an extra row of seating without compromising space for the driver. It has a taller roofline than many midsize SUVs, along with wide-opening doors that make getting in and out a lot easier for long-legged adults.
The high seating position also improves visibility, something that shorter sedans often lack for taller drivers.
Chrysler Pacifica: Yes, a Minivan, and it’s Awesome
Top Pick: Chrysler Pacifica Touring L
- Headroom (Front): 40.1 inches
- Legroom (Front): 41.1 inches
Don’t sleep on the Pacifica. It offers serious space in every direction. The driver’s seat has deep adjustment options, and there’s no center console cluttering your knee space. Sliding doors also make for smooth entry and exit.
If you’re a tall parent, the Pacifica is a game-changer. More room up front and enough backseat headroom for teens who are already taller than you.
Dodge Charger: Muscle with Space to Match
Top Pick: Dodge Charger SXT or GT
- Headroom (Front): 38.6 inches
- Legroom (Front): 41.8 inches
Need something with attitude and space? The Charger brings bold styling and comfort for tall drivers. With its wide, low-slung seating and long legroom, it’s a sedan that doesn’t feel cramped.
Add in available power lumbar support and ventilated seats, and long drives suddenly get a lot more enjoyable.
