Uh...that might be tight for you. Just go and test drive one and see how it feels, but I understand that TDs are usually quick and to have a better feel the ideal would be to drive for at least 30mins/1 hour to have a real-life/road trip experience.

I'm 6'2", my son is 6'6" - I really don't know what everyone is talking about in this regard.
The shape of everyone's derrière.
Yeah. I think it has more to do with width than length, if you know what I mean.
Also, lots of folks coming to the 700OT were used the 200's throne where you can basically seat and relax as you do in your living room couch or lazy boy.
I personally find the OT's seat far superior to the 200s "bench" of a driver seat. I never found the 200s seat uncomfortable but I always felt like I was sitting on top of the seat vs sitting 'in' the seat on the LX.Yeah. I think it has more to do with width than length, if you know what I mean.
I'm not tall, but have a decent size torso; 5'6" 195# athletic build (squatter build, aka short legs lol).
That's probably the best description for what I also feel when seating in the 200. Honestly feels awesome to me, though it might contribute to the boat-like feeling when going into some sharp turns.
I hated the 200 HE seats. The 2019 LC I had were wayyyyy more comfy.
Now the seats in the 700h nailed it.
You ever see the curbs at Starbucks and Chikfila? Gotta activate the front and rear lockers.
How come? The seats are the same...the only difference is the leather.
Pics or...you know..
I didn’t take pics:/ but I’m going to elk hunt in it a couple times to test it more. I live in Montana so I’ll be sure to take pics in a couple weeks during season. Coming from a devout 80 owner/fan, I cannot overstate enough how good this truck is off-road. It’s to the point where I’m considering selling my 80, buying my wife another 3rd row SUV, and making this my off-road/hunting truck. I didn’t even air down. It feels better at highway pressure than my 80 does at 16 psi. I am getting a compressor put in next month, can’t wait to see what it’s like aired down. I was wheeling with a couple other Toyota Tacoma’s and they aired down, I had no need to.
HE seats were too stiff due to the more durable leather they put in them.
Right there with you. Have some rough stuff to traverse on my hunting lease. The 700 takes it fast and without complaint.
Thanks for the report.
Good luck wapti hunting
Been driving my LX700h OT around and I have to say the Mark Levinson audio system is complete crap. My LC200 with the stock sound systems (I think its JBL) sounds way better. And same with my Tacoma with JBL. There just is no bass in the 700h, and it sounds superficial and like its whispering through a straw. I heard some say you need a break in period for new speakers hut I doubt it will improve as its just so far off. Like its missing speakers or the speakers are out of phase or something.
Aside from this disappointing sound system, everything else is great. Yes the trunk is comically small, with the hybrid battery, it barely will fit a grocery bag with the 3rd row seats up. But I didn’t buy this for storage space.
I dont really hear anything its so quiet and the hybrid system when it kicks on the engine on and off I don’t really notice it at all everything is just so quiet and smooth, yet ridiculously powerful. Everything feels super solid and robust and well put together.

I thought the same about the sound system, but then I tuned it a bit with the equalizer, increased the bass a bit, and noticed something.
I can hear the creaks and finger friction rubs on guitars, cellos, and violins. I can hear the moist sounds of mouths and vocal cords from human voices. The extra harmonics in pianos are audible, where the differences between Steinways and Bösendorfers are apparent.
The sound system is less Jack Daniels and more 21 year scotch. For those of us with classical music tastes, it's actually quite good.

I find it pretty damn good too.
