I'm 6'1 and have less than a 1/2 inch between my knees and the front dash of my 2003 H2. I've called the dealer and he said they didn't have a fix to move the seat further back. I wanted to purchase new rails, or extended rails to accommodate my legs. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this problem? I was in a new Nissan Altima yesterday and my legs were fully extended when the seat was all the way back. Again, I'm only 6'1". Others must have the same problem.

I'm 6'2" 215lbs and I've got tons of room. Are you long-legged or are you super bottom heavy and being pushed further forward because of a mountainous behind?

CraigFRNJ 06-21-2004 03:17 PM

I'm 6'1 180lbs. When I sit my legs are at a 90 degree angle when touching the pedals. GM recognizes this problem and has installed seats in the 2004 model that go back 3 inches further. Your Dry Humor exploits your ignorance "GURU"

Detonate 06-21-2004 03:26 PM

I'm 6'5" tall and have plenty of leg room in my 2003.

It's not dry, it's moist. Too bad you were born without a sense of humor. Out of curiosity why did you capitalize the first letters in "Your Dry Humor"?

You can't swap for the 2004 seats? Or do you have a 2004 and it's still not enough?

Oh, and:

I'm a big guy and have no problems with leg room in my '03. Are you sure about your claim that the '04 goes back 3 inches further?

JamesT 06-21-2004 08:02 PM

I'm 6'4" and my knees touch my chin(s). Im glad the new guy brought this up. These seats are way to close to the dash. BTW....what are those buttons on the side of the seat for anyway? Anyone??? Anyone???

JamesT 06-21-2004 08:04 PM

Why are all the NEWBIES so thin skinned now? Back when I was a NEWBIE I never cried when I got slam dunked by DRTY.

KenP 06-21-2004 09:45 PM

Somebody, I do not remember who, relocated their seat tracks 3" back on their '03. Said it was very simple. BTW, I am about 6'4", 240lbs and have no problems with the seat reclined a bit.

Kevin B 06-21-2004 10:29 PM

My problem is my seat won't move up far enough! Im 5'3" and 137 lbs, I have had trouble twice in a "panic stop" situation. What a crappy design .

Oh and BTW Craig, I agree DRTY is very, very insensitive, mean and unpleasant.

I can't believe you said that about Drty! I have it on good authority that Drty had professional instruction on proper manners and etiquette.

Here's a picture of Drty's instructor!

Klaus,

Dont make me post DRTY's picture



You know the one I mean too!

I have to admit, Drty still has my vote for the most humorous post:

I still laugh over that one!

Yetti 06-21-2004 11:31 PM

I don't thinks its a leg room problem more then its a sitting comfortable problem. when I test drove the first H2, I had no head room and was forced to slouch, it was very uncomfortable , and I oppted to lean the seat way back. I cured this problem by purchasing a new H2, without sunroof! now I have plenty of room, I do hit my knee from time to time on the shifter(in park).
I will say I cannot drive a Viper for a simular reason, I can get in, I can push the clutch in, but I cannot close the door and release the clutch... bummer. being 6'5"/350lbs sucks sometimes.

Can you take a picture of yourself in your hummer so we can see what your talking about.

Yetti 06-21-2004 11:41 PM

heres me ,I have fairly long legs, but I don't know to many folks bigger then their ride.

Kevin B 06-21-2004 11:57 PM

Yetti, I love that photo of you in your third trimester . I must say you have a glow about you.

Klaus 06-22-2004 12:09 AM

Yetti, were you standing 10 or 15 feet in front of your H2?

Is your nickname Hoss?

KenP 06-22-2004 12:19 AM

It's BUBBA, with a capital everything!

HGW 06-22-2004 12:33 AM

Try putting the seat all the way down--use the button on the side of the seat----if that does not do it, I live in NJ and will move the seat back--it is NO big deal to tap new holes and bolt it back futher.

Before the bite I was a 6'2" 260lb lean Marine. The bite was about 1 1/2 years ago and I am now down to 6'1".

The extra 70lbs I put on in the first 6 months after the bite has compressed me.

Dan 06-22-2004 07:32 PM

I need to drop a few pounds too. Sitting on this damn forum all day doesn't help

6'1", 250#, brown hair, green eyes, like walks on the beach.

Sorry, wrong forum

HHummer 06-22-2004 08:49 PM

I am over 6-6, & 260 and I cannot relate. Is your inseam over 36"? I assume that you have tried all adjustments, but I find the H2 to be the most comfortable vehicle I have ever driven. I have the bottom cushion all the way down at the back and all of the way up at the front. Then the seat back is angled back. There is enough room left to change pants!

Zing 06-24-2004 08:11 PM

I'm glad someone brought this up because I'm 10 foot 11" and my knees hit the ceiling, operate the sun roof and block my side vision when I drive the 2003, so I got the 2004 and now have no problems.

I'm also 6' 1" and with the seat all the way back in the 2004 it's perfect. If the 2003 is actually 3" closer than 2004 (which I don't think's the case) it would definitely be a problem.

HMSH2 06-25-2004 12:44 AM

I am 6'5" with a 38" inseam and the H2's leg room is just fine. With the seat properly adjusted, I have no problems completely stretching my legs out.

Nitrobooger 06-25-2004 12:58 AM

You all must drive looking through the sun roof!

LsuH2 06-25-2004 02:21 AM

I agree with the taller gentlemen that there is enough leg room in the H2 to accomodate the tallest of men. I am 6'8" and have been hoping to get my H2 as soon as i saw it as a concept vehicle. It is the first vehicle where I feel is "fit" into it. I have had a pathfinder and a durango; loved them both but i will probably only buy hummer from now on as long as they keep them within a decent price and not looking to freaky.

Yetti 06-25-2004 07:07 PM

Welcome Aboard LsuH2, its nice to have some more "big guys" to talk to.
Did you buy your H2 with a sunroof?

Big Bob 06-25-2004 08:42 PM

6'3" 295lbs
Leg room seems to be the last problem, but I'm right at the top for headroom. I do know you lose about a inch of headroom because of the sunroof.

KenP 06-26-2004 02:05 AM

Welcome LSU. Please post a pic of your rig as soon as you get a chance.

Yetti-no, didnt get the sunroof. really wanted one bad, but didnt get it. still could get it put in (supposedly we have one of the best installers here in Baton Rouge), but i'll wait till i get all the other stuff I want done.

KenP-I will go take some new pics as soon as the weather lets up here in the dirty south. Been raining everyday down here, the one i am putting up was taken the day I got it back in november.
