    Alot of people assume that Mini Trucks are small and cramped, and that drivers are therefore short, allowing them to drive comfortably. I'm 6-2 and sit easily in my truck.
    I'm curious how we "measure up" as drivers.

    5' 10" tall and 210 lbs and I fit in my ACTY all right most times. It feels a little cramped when I'm all layered up for a long day of winter hunting but I think that's mostly the pac boots.

    Yea Milt, my wife says that I am handsomely challenged. I beginning to think that I have been insulted. lololololololol


    I got $5 says you gain weight by the time your little one gets here. I have not known a man yet that did not gain weight while his wife was pregnant. The cruel thing she looses hers after and they are stuck with theirs.

    in another month i'll be 36... i think my weight has pretty much stabilized and will stay just about where it is. the most i ever weight was 160, i looked helthy and fit. i was lifting weights everyday and execising all the time while i was in the army. after falling out of a helicopter and being injured and unable to work out anymore, i got right back down to 135... everyone thought i was on meth how quickly the weight shed.

    i've got the metabolism of a humming bird.

    6'2", 170. When I first wanted to try out a Mini truck I thought it would be comical trying to get in and out. My (soon to be) Carry fits me well.

    5'8" 200...and my mitsu is very roomy. my son is 6'3" 250 and he can't drive my truck because his legs won't fit under the steering wheel to run the pedals :) my other son can though he is 6'1" 210

    6'-4" and a little more / 210 pounds
    Size 12 boot/shoe
    1997 Honda Acty

    Lots of head room but knees are against the dash and the right knee bumps the turn signal/brights lever. I pretty much have to open the door to roll the window down/up!

    6'6", 235lbs. Thought my old Daihatsu was a little tight, but I fit OK. I upgraded to a 2002. Now I can't believe all the leg room. The Honda is not made for long legs. I feel your pain with the blinker switch. I have to hold the door open to drive it. Wander if a smaller steeing wheel would solve the problem in the Honda.

    This is the perfect thread for what happened today. A friend came over to see/drive my Sambar for the first time today.

    I am 5'8 140 lbs....with my racing wheel, I feel only slightly more cramped than in my full size Chebby's :p

    My friend, 6'5 190 lbs, had a bit of trouble with his knees hitting the wheel and shifting. I think 6'5 and skinny is the limit for Sambar pickups.

    6'-5", 35" inseam. Just sat in a mid-90s Acty for the first time yesterday and, like others, found my knees were buried in the steering column.

    Anyone compared the leg room in an Acty versus a Sambar?
