Less Legroom

[revrnd]

I'm curious to know if there has been a decrease in the legroom of the GMT900 regular cabs vs the GMT800s. I've been noticing a bit of cramping in my right lower leg or foot whether or not I'm using the cruise control. I never had any leg issues in my '04 regular cab.

 

Have any other regular cab owners noticed this?

I'm 6'7" with no issues in mine, so unless the GMT800s where made for giants, then i doubt it.

 

 

Edit. sorry i should of said that is was talking about my work truck which is a 07 one ton reg cab

I notice no difference going from a gmt-800 to 900 if anything it seems wider (I think the dash and different style center console give this illusion)

weird i notice more room in my gmt900 vs the gmt800 we have at work, i was never goin to buy a reg cab because of the 800, but when i was test driving trucks i got in one and it felt huge inside, even with a sub box behind my seat i have plenty of room and im 6'2"

Going from a 2001 (GMT-800) to a 2010 (GMT-900) there seems to be more room in the 2010 and the cab is also wider. Look at side by side photos and you can see the difference.

That's funny because this truck seems like it has less headroom than my 03. But it may also be the power seat being lifted all the way up, I haven't had much time to toy with it.
