Default 6'6" Would I fit??

I'm considering a Disco II or a LR3 again.

Its been brought to my attention that I may or may not fit in the Disco...

Any feedback on this? I was going to drive an hour away tomorrow to have a look but would hate to waste my time and the sellers. lol

I'm 6'3" and fit comfortably but I do have the seat all the way back. If it makes a difference, my legs are longer than my torso. 6'6" might be a little tight but maybe someone else can chime in.

I would drive out and it in it, it is really the only way to know, you want look at it and test drive it anyway.

I expect you'll fit but proportions are everything. I think generally speaking this vehicle has a lot of headroom but I've a short torso, long legs and arms.

Please read this below: (Fella at height of 6'7")

At 6 foot I still with the seat would go farther back. I fell like I wouldn't want to be any larger — I think I'm using the max setting on everything.

What do you normally drive?

Lots of existing headroom in the D2 and you have the option to gain 3 more inches vertically by removing the cosmetic headliner.



Also, it's trivial to get your D2 seat to go 5 more inches rearward for extra legroom: https://landroverforums.com/forum/di...14/#post661204

You May be concerned about width, too. I am 5’8” and my elbow is on the door card, and the truck feels built for someone my size.
