6'4 220. I have zero issue driving my 60. Then again I drove a regular cab tacoma for a few years and never complained about that either. Then again I drove a hmmwv with battle rattle. Talk about cramped.

I'm 6'7" and my 62 has great head room. The stock seats can get a little uncomfortable for long trips, but the leg room isn't bad. I'm just glad I have an auto and not a stick bc it would impede on the leg room a bit.
6'5" ~280lbs here. I'm not really that uncomfortable, I think I am just used to it though. I've been driving it since I was 16, and I was only about 5'10" then. Probably just grew into it. I wear a 32" inseam pant so I think that is a normal leg length for my height (?). Just trying to give some comparative data. 
32" inseam seems small for a 6'5" guy...i've worn a 36" inseam since i was 6'3 and beyond

I'm 6'6" tall with size 15 feet. I finally got a 60 after trying to fold myself into a 40 for years lol. I def agree that there is plenty of head room, but the seats and seat position pretty much suck for me. I'm currently looking at seat options. If you get a 60, you'll def want a seat upgrade my friend.
I'm 6'5", 205 lbs, and I upgraded to a leather seat from a landrover. When I did that I moved the seat back a few inches and it has made a huge difference in driving long distances.
Any tall person should spend the time to move their seat back a few inches.
Very simple plate can be made as the OEM seats are bolted onto the slides with 2 bolts ea (4 total).
Super easy job with a drill and two pieces of metal.
Maybe a 5 hour job when going slow on a sunday.

I wear a 34" inseam with jeans, but they sit a little loose. Maybe I am kinda short legged. Never really thought about it. lol
Maybe I will look into this just because...

I'm 6'4" and decided to pull off the foot rest on the floor and made it way more comfortable. Now there is a large open spot in the carpet but I don't mind.
I'm 6'6", 225 and have no issues
To me, the 'dead pedal' on an FJ62 really cramps up the left leg - no matter what your height. I liked the ability in my FJ60 to stretch out my left leg on the highway, when not using the clutch. I've considered removing the dead pedal and making it smaller or less obnoxious.
I am 6'2", 240 with no issues with oem seat. I changed to smittybilt seats in the front and still no issues.
My little brother is 6'5", 350 #'s, size 16 shoes and never complained when he had his sixty.

6'4" 190 and feel cramped. I think i'll have my seat rebuilt and try the mod mentioned by Slomoe.
At 190 you can't be cramped. Talk to us when you joing the 250+ club .... Just kidding its not fun on this side of 2 bills
I have a 6'5" friend. He fits in the 60 with a couple inches of headroom but his head touches the ceiling in an 80. He's got about 4" room in a hardtop 40
I'[m 6'5" 180 lbs with a 34-35" inseam. Stock seating position was too cramped for my legs, so I got my seat brackets modified by TLC cruisers many years ago. A couple inches makes a world of difference. Seems like more than enough leg room now.
I am 6'5" and 195 lbs, maybe slightly longer in the torso than legs. I have had an 62 for 15 years without to much trouble. Headroom, which is my issue in most vehicles, is decent and leg room is a bit tight but just comfortable enough. The seats feel miniature though, and I fear would offer very poor whiplash protection. I have been considering a seat upgrade but don't want to loose any headroom. Not sure which seats to consider yet. I drive my 62 every few days and make an hour and 15 minute drive twice a week. I still enjoy it.
