I saw a land Rover 130 at the gas pumps and to do some inner net research. After 7 videos, it came to my attention that NONE of the people in the vids were over 5'10" tall or more than 130 lbs. The lady pumping gas parked next to me in the parking lot , so I peaked in at the interior. I wanted to ask her if I would fit, but didn't. 6'4" at 350 pounds is going to be a very snug fit. Just once a real world person in a commercial would be awesome. Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency. Neck Ties, Hats and ammo brass, Never ,ever touch'em w/o asking first | ||

Vehicles have shrunk (except for pickup trucks, which are now large bordering on unwieldy) since their peak in the 1960s-70s. But cars and trucks from the 1920s-40s and into the early 50s (my brother has or had several) were downright cramped. People must have been less than 5 feet tall then. | |||

I am 6/4 and 240. My very first test of any potential new vehicle is seat room and comfort. I test drove a Gladiator and was miserable in it. Too bad, it would have been a good fit otherwise! End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

While over all size possibly has shrunk, I actually think the engineering in maximal efficient use of interior space has made the smaller cars far more comfortable than they used to be. A compact car from the 1980’s was no where near as comfortable as a current compact for example. There are some vehicles however that baffle me. I had a couple Jeeps over the years, and my early 2000 and mid 2000’s seem to have more interior room than my friends recently purchased gladiator. | |||
