A Tall Driver's dream car in Bedford, VA

Ford Vehicles Best Suited for Tall People

There are many factors to consider when selecting a vehicle, but there's even more to consider if you are a tall driver. Tall drivers should consider factors such as windshield height, headroom, and legroom before purchasing a car since these are not factors that most people have to worry about.

It can be difficult for tall drivers to find a comfortable car. Having enough headroom and legroom is essential, but interior space is one of many factors to consider. Buyers also need to consider adjustments to the steering wheel and front seat.

Berglund Ford of Bedford knows the importance of providing spacious interiors and exceptional comfort to every vehicle we sell. Visit our dealership in Bedford, VA, and explore our range of Ford vehicles for tall drivers — cars, trucks, and SUVs designed with tall people in mind.

F-150 pickup trucks are full-size trucks and Ford's bestseller. This vehicle comfortably fits tall drivers. A standard-, extended-, and crew-cab body style maintains the same 40.8-inch headroom and 43.9-inch legroom for front passengers.

Note that the all-electric F-150 Lightning has the same headroom and legroom as the standard F-150, which is not always true with EVs modified from combustion engines to accommodate underfloor batteries. The F-150 can accommodate tall drivers without needing an upgrade – it simply is a large vehicle with impressive cabin space.

For the Ford Explorer, the front headroom measures 40.7 inches, the legroom measures 43 inches, the hip room measures 59.2 inches, and the shoulder room measures 61.8 inches. Cabin comfort for tall people is further enhanced by power-adjustable driver's and passenger's seats.

Tall drivers and front passengers will enjoy 43.1 inches of legroom and 43.3 inches of headroom in the four-door Ford Bronco models. The Bronco comes standard with a 275 horsepower turbo-four engine and a 315 horsepower twin-turbo V6. Material choices range from easy-clean surfaces and waterproof upholstery to durable materials designed for outdoor adventures. The Bronco's doors and roof are removable, which is perfect for off-roading.

A great value for large families, the 2024 Ford Expedition provides exceptional ride comfort, impressive towing capabilities, and plenty of cargo space. The front legroom is 41.5 inches, and the headroom is 42 inches, suitable for tall people. The vehicle's top-notch infotainment system and impressive safety features are welcome additions.

This cool, compact SUV has a lot of heritage behind it, and it's a blast to drive. Featuring spacious seating for five passengers, the 2024 Ford Bronco Sport boasts 41.5 inches of front-row headroom and 41.7 inches of rear-row headroom. The legroom in the front row is generous at 42.4 inches, while the rear legroom is spacious at 36.9 inches.

Seat materials, including premium-trimmed bucket seats and easy-clean or plaid cloth, complement its spacious seating. With four-wheel drive, the Badlands edition is capable of off-road driving while being an enjoyable SUV for day-to-day driving.

Size indeed matters when it comes to car comfort for tall people. Since crossovers, SUVs, and pickup trucks have become more popular over the past decade, taller drivers are more likely to purchase one. When it comes to taller windshields, SUVs and full-size trucks are the best options.

The most important considerations are the legroom and headroom in the front. It is important to check whether the vehicle allows you to drive comfortably as a tall individual. You should also ensure you have enough headroom when driving normally without rubbing against the headliner. Getting a moonroof or sunroof will decrease headroom, so you should be aware of this.

Make sure you test-drive the vehicle to see if the windshield height allows you to see the traffic lights clearly without ducking under the header. The side mirrors should also be adjustable to see cars on both sides. Furthermore, the steering wheel column should have enough adjustment space while driving.
