Are all you tall guys reclining your seats to a lounge position? The boss who is 6'7" must be sitting horizontal if he isn't bumping his head. I'm just under 6'6" and with the seat reclined enough my head is rubbing the ceiling. I pretty much have to slouch in my seat to keep my head away from that roof. I don't know why Dodge designed that drop down in the ceiling so far forward but that inch or so drop drives me nuts! Neither my 2005 or 2008 had this issue. I wonder if the leather seats need more time to "give" but I can sit more upright in my wife's Subaru as it is now. OK, rant over.

My power seats go up and down to give me the head room I need. 6'9" with a few inches to spare.

Lots of head room the wife says, we just put the seat back and tilt the wheel all the way up and boom tons of head room. She does bump her head on the wheel or even the hand controls.............LOL I could not resist. I would get a new 09 if you can, lifetime guarantee on drivetrain for free.

Now I wasn't complaining about the amount of room for that! Incidentally, was Chrysler offering a free lifetime drivetrain warranty in Canada? I thought that was only in the US.

Definitely a difference in head room. I'm 6'6", and not a hunchback, and test drove both. I ended up with sunroof but can't sit up straight without my hair touching. I have The seat reclined a bit. Powered seats never go low enough. Next time will opt for no sunroof.
