I didn't fit into the SRT-8 properly at all even at 6'6". I sat in the Ford Expedition and found that despite fitting in it they dropped down the rear view mirror 4 inches completely obstructing my view. I took the time to contact, and write all the…
I've personally drove one on a trip fitting comfortably in it at 6'6." I was happy to see it was also good on fuel, but a little on the weaker side engine wise when it came to pushing it on hills. I am however a bit of a lead foot so what might be c…
