6'6" and it sucks in most trucks.

I had the most knee room in a 2005 Peterbilt 379. No stand up room, of course...

JB Hunt moved the seat frame back for me and I was able to not rub my knee on the dash.

I had a 2004 Volvo 770 and I had tons of leg room. The shifter was in an odd position which made for moving to the back a little awkward.

i have a T600, so when i go in the sleeper the floor drops about 6" and i still have about a foot of clearance to the roof.(but then again, i'm not one of the 6'5" guys you were originally refering to)

I could stand up straight even in the 379. Not much room past my head, though.

The others were fine of course.
