    The 2022 Tundra's are pretty rare in my area... however, I finally did get a chance to sit inside a Limited. The window seemed very narrow and with the large hood it seemed the visibility was very limited. It also didn't help to have the area behind the rear view mirror blocked (perhaps for the rear camera?).

    I am a normal guy.... 5' 10" but I needed to adjust the seat all the way down for max viewing. Lots of head room but with the narrow window it was the best I could do. I don't want to bend down to see the tops of the street lights.

    What are your thoughts on the visibility?

    As I recall the 2002’s had a good size front windshield, regarding my 2022 I can see just fine.

    I've seen some video comments about how the top of the roof comes down too much and blocks visibility at the top of the window. I can see that this may be something that would take some getting used to though in terms of actual visibility concerns or safety I can't play out how this would be a real problem. If I want to spot planes I'll use my giant Pano roof :p

    The limited have 8 way electric seats. You can move the seat almost high enough to hit your head on the roof. Visibility is not an issue. And with the cameras not in any direction.

    as far as seeing up? No issue at all. I don’t look for planes but I can see the lights just fine and you can stop a little further back I guess. I usually just stop in the walking path.

    I was concerned with visibility at first too, especially since I got the CrewMax with the 6.5ft. Bed. The 360 camera and digital rear view mirror help a lot, in my case. The windshield does seem to have a weird cutoff along the top, but I’ve gotten used to it now. The hood is a bit of an issue for me when I’m parking the truck in my garage (I have a small margin of error available) but otherwise hasn’t been too much of an issue in daily driving.
