I'm about 6'2" and the KJ is a PITA to drive long distances. Apparently you guys never have owned a full size truck before.

Not only is there not enough leg room length-wise...but width-wise my left knee rests against the door, and my right knee is bent because the **** transmission tunnel takes away any flat area to rest my foot.

The pathetic leg room, combined with the VERY thin steering wheel clearly indicates that Jeep was targeting female drivers when they designed the KJ. For that reason, I purposefully got leather power seats this time around...which helps. And I bought a steering wheel cover to "fatten" up the wheel and make it comfortable to hold onto.

Wow. you'd think you would notice such major deficiencies in comfort and/or the fact the you were buying a compact SUV, not a full sized truck, before you bought a KJ ....twice :mrgreen:

Trust me, it's NOT my first choice. But I'm sacrificing at the moment in order to pay some debt off. The KJ mileage keeps me able to do that for now. As soon as I'm able...it's back to fullsize for me.

I am 6'0" and i have no complaints about the room in the front rear is another thing all together. But i went from a 1997 F-350 long bed full 4 door cab Diesel of course to and Audi A4 and honestly this has been one of my favorite vehicals. Because of the mileage gains easy to park and towing capability and comfort so the way i look at it i got the best of my truck and my car all in one. And my 68 camaro convertable feeds my need for speed and wow factor atleast till the KJ is done :twisted:
