    Legs are too long.

    I just purchased the new Patrol I have spoken about earlier however, is there anywhere I can get the drivers seat extended backwards a few inches as I'm 6'4" and I'm a little cramped. On a long trip it might be a little uncomfortable. Other than that it"s a great machine and I'm very happy with it.



    Regards All,
    Wonder.

    I'm 6"3 I don't have too much of a problem. I feel more cramped in the passenger seat than driving though

    Thanks mate, I always thought being tall was advantage, but it seems only in sport.

    I'm the same. Passenger side seems smaller.

    Hello and welcome, not much you can do with your OE seat ,but aftermarket seats have three seating positions
    you can bolt the frame to the seat, check out the Strato range I have the LT3000 series ATM. plenty of scope for adjustment too.
    Plus no engineering involved as they are already ADR approved
    04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there

    I have the solution for all you tallies. go buy a y62 they have plenty more room and if you start feeling a little cramped, after a while slam that pedal to the floor and you will get an extra couple of inches by way of getting sucked back into the seat. kev
