Finally Got to Test Drive the 2018 Expedition Limited Short Wheel Base

I Dont have that problem. The third row is lacking in headroom, but sec row headroom is actually quite good in my opinion, esp if you recline the seat.

unless im going crazy, when we went to see the one at the car show, i sat in the 2nd row no issue at all. i'm 6'6"

Has anyone else noticed the extra large sunroof ruins the headroom in the second row......I had both my 6 foot tall kids sit in a limited last night, and both of them couldn't sit up straight in the second row seats because their heads hit the ceilings......so if you have tall kids like me....be sure to have them sit in the second and third rows before you buy one.

I just want to double check, you know that the seats move forward/backward and also recline too? Even with those adjustments your kids hit their heads on the sunroof?

I'm 6'1" (mostly legs) and my husband is 6'2" (mostly upper body) and both of us fit comfortably in the second row. His head is uncomfortably close to the ceiling in the 3rd row, but it works if he reclines the seat. Interesting that your kids have problems. Part of the reason we bought this truck was because we needed something for our kids, who we assume will be tall.

They are 6 foot 3 and 6 foot 4......

The seats were all the way back, and their hair was rubbing on the headliner......they had to recline pretty far back before there was no contact with the headliner, and for them they both said it wasn't exactly comfortable leaning that far back. And since one of them is only 14 and will continue to grow for a couple more years, it became pretty clear we will need one without a sunroof

Sounds like you need a cargo van

Or Ford should have an option to have the normal sized sunroof that doesn't affect the second row passenger headroom like the 17's.....

Yea no regular car is gonna be co.fy for them at that height. I will say for reference my 6 foot 5 nephew sat in the second rows in both my nav and expy and not once complained. Third row was a different story lol.

Ive Had my truck stuffed with people with tall in the back row never have had an issue

Or cargo van, lol. No, I hear you, a simple sunroof delete option would solve this problem.
