New to me 2011 Denali XL. Really like it.
However, the seat sits pretty high for a 6'3" guy. The set will go up, and then down to a point where it stops. The thing is, I don't know if that is where it should stop. The passenger seat is about the same.
Is there a measuement I can take for reference? Any help is appreciated.
It is a sunroof model, and I know that doesn't help headroom. But my hair is touching the ceiling. And no I don't have a fro.

It's 41.1 inches and I recently saw a drawing but cannot remember where. The seat can often go lower if it is more level. I'm 5'8" and can wear my Sam Houston hat without hitting the headliner.

I'm 6'4 1/2 and I don't hit the roof ever, I do smack my head on the rear hatch corner edge though, my nbs used to go up higher or the corners weren't bent down so much

I'm at 36". This does have the sunroof which subtracts. I dunno if cooled seats affect it with the ducting.

I was wondering the same thing. I feel so high up in our 2010 compared to my 07

I felt the same way coming from our 2000 Escalade to the 2008 Suburban LTZ... but I finally got the seat adjusted right and got used to it... I just laid the seat back more.

I'm looking at the 1985 Restoration Kit for the Suburban and it is measuring from the highest point of the seat cushion at a rearward angle in line with the seat back. On that truck, it was 40-1/2 inches.

I saw another where I think it was from the lowest part of the seat angled forward and in line with the steering wheel. Can't recall where yet.
