“I sat in the rear seat of a 2010 Toyota 4runner. I am 6'1 . I had clearance above my head. However, the roof is domed only above the seat. When I leaned forward my head contacted the roof. I believe serious head injuries are possible due to the interior design of this vehicle for taller passengers.”
