Thank you in advance for your help. I Bought a 2013 Tahoe LT in Feb 2021 because my friend has a 2009 Tahoe and I fit in it very well. To my surprise, my head hits the ceiling of the 2013 Tahoe even with the seat as low as possible (herniated disks in my neck makes this a serious problem). Do any of you with experience know why there is such a difference in headroom between the 2009 and 2013? (Note that the 2015 fits me perfectly as well, something is up with the 2013...)

I tried having the seat reupholstered to remove excess padding and give me more space but it hardly made a dent in the problem. Is it just that the body style is different for the 2013? Or is the seat different?

If the problem is the seat itself, is it possible to replace the 2013 seat with a seat of a different year?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

The body is the same between the 2009 and 2013. Does the 2009 have cloth seats and the 2013 have leather? Does one have a sunroof and the other doesn't? Some models have adjustable pedals and maybe the seat was back further.

How tall are you?

I am 6'3" and yes, it has leather seats. however, it doesn't seem to make sense that leather vs. cloth would change the head room by over 3 inches...
