My current vehicle is an Audi A4. Small as it might appear on the road, this thing is exceptionally well proportioned: the seats specifically the bottom are large so my legs don't feel like they are falling off the front edge and the foot well is big and my knee never hurts from the position of the obviously tiny transmission tunnel.

On a '24 Limited would these seats and foot well area be even bigger?

My 2nd vehicle is a Genesis GV80: nice ride but I have to say, seating position with respect to seat length and foot well aren't as good as the little German...
 
The Germans get seating right, particularly for people over 5'8".

Every Japanese vehicle I've owned the seats seem to be made for little people, and sadly domestic "family" vehicles are following suit too often.

Adjustable thiegh bolsters and a greater range of front-edge height adjustability would solve this, offering seating for short and tall people.
 
yea this is the one thing that bothers me about the Ram, I think the seat bottom is plenty long but being tall I don't feel I have as much leg room as I would like. On a long drive like 6 plus hours I do start to get some knee discomfort.
 
Is that from the transmission tunnel forcing you to have to twist your right foot out to the right a bit?
 
Is the Sierra Denali or F150 LTD more comfortable?

Get some desertdoesit seat jackers and see how you feel

I'm 6'5" tall, there is plenty of room IMO. I tilt the seat bottom all the way down in back and all the way up in front for leg support. I also wear flip flops, that I take off to drive or the Vibram Five-finger toe shoes, and feel I have plenty of room for my feet. Wearing regular shoes, I lose quite a bit of room to move my feet around the pedals. The pedals should be power adjustable to move towards the seat or towards firewall. If you still feel like you need a little more support for your legs, desertdoesit makes spacers called seat jackers, that can raise the front of the sat up and addition 1-3" depending on model. My passenger seat was manual sliding, and wasnt as comfortable as my power drivers seat. After putting the seat jackers in, the passenger seat was night and day better. And I have even more adjustability on the driver's seat.

I would suggest taking one on a test drive to see for yourself.

this. i can't speak highly enough of the DDI seat jackers.
they are the reason I could do 15k miles in 50 days to get to the arctics and alaska and back without ANY discomfort.
