I’m 6’4" and fit in my 19 just fine, I have MAYBE an inch of head room left with the top up. Now the solstice I tried to get on? No fucking way. Was it an NA?
I’m 6’, but I have a comparatively long torso, so I generally have the seat set as low as possible in a sedan to be at a comfortable height, and even then, my head nearly touches the ceiling. Life before height-adjustable seats was interesting.
Sheesh, I’m kinda the same way, my mom calls the men in my family bulldogs because of our short legs. Are you like… Deadpool when he was ripped in half by juggernaut, and then started regenerating?
My problem is usually width. Most vehicles aren’t built for anyone physically wider than average (while yes, i am also overweight, id still have this problem no matter what). Some office chairs give me hip pain, and most armrests can’t be adjusted out far enough to not be digging into my ribs.
There’s also just nowhere for my left leg to comfortably go in an automatic, at least with a manual i had the clutch to keep that leg moving.
I’m 6’4" and have driven tons of cars and owned a few. Stepping into a proper pickup was the first time I thought “oh, a vehicle designed for me.” I’m also a carpenter, so it is essential to my work. Memes like this are low hanging fruit.
Yes, we do have a size problem in the USA. Is everyone that drives one of these trucks a selfish, tiny-dicked, backwards-thinking asshole? No, and honestly, the majority of the people that I know are like me and need a work vehicle like this. More than half of them are in a union. We can point out the absurdity of the size wars when it comes to American vehicle design, but stop picking on pickup trucks.
I’m 6’4" as well and I fit in just about everything that’s not clearly a compact car. I fit fairly well in Honda and Toyota sedans, and drove a Civic until 2018, when I bought a Tesla Model 3. That was okay, I fit but it’s low, too low for my tall legs really getting in and out Traded that in recently and got a Polestar 3, which is a larger SUV.
Big work vehicles aren’t the issue, as long as they’re used for that purpose, it’s the pavement princesses that are the problem. The ones that rarely or possibly even have never seen a day or work. They’re all over the place.
There are a lot of owners of these pickups that use them as their primary vehicle and grocery getter. Then they try to justify needing the truck because of the two days a year they actually use the bed to bring something back from Home Depot or towing a trailer. Both of which have daily alternatives available either through a rental company or from the store itself.
I’m 6’4 and easily fit in my mx-5. And you know for a fact at least 90% of those trucks are grocery getters “because I like to drive up high, it makes me feel safer, and more of a shitbag”
I’ve tried to get in a Miata once. Had to put the top down and my eye level was over the windshield.

Edit: sweet reference on the handle.
Are we still doing phrasing?

6’2 and owned a smart for years.
6’2 and I lay down and sleep in my smart during my lunch break.

You tall folks should pick VW New Beetles. An average-sized person can wear a top hat while driving one of those because the roof is so domed.
(If you must drive at all, of course – obviously, the real best choice is a bicycle with infinite headroom.)

Plenty of tall people drive small cars. Can’t you just use a smaller truck?
Amen.
