Hi all,

I'm after a Stockman, but I'm just wondering if any of you have any experience with height, and fitting into the car. Apparently they're (sierra's in general) pretty small, and I'm fine with that, but I'm just under 6ft tall, and was wondering if anyone owns one and is similarly tall.

Love these cars and wanna get one, but this is probably the only thing stopping it from happening...

Thanks.

Edit: By stockman I mean the sierra stockman, (Maruti??) that has the fibreglass back panel and lengthened cab. In the wanted section I have posted with some pics for reference.

Yeah, a Stockman is either a later model LJ (all body shapes) or a Maruti which has a bit longer cab than a proper Suzuki built ute. People tend to call all Suzuki utes stockmans though.

I'm 6'. Marutis are pretty damn good for cab space, you'd have to be monstrous to not fit. I don't think the Suzuki built ones are as bad as people say, IMO they're much better than a defender ute and not much different to a 40 series and all sorts of people drive everywhere in those. I'd happily drive all day in a Sierra ute. I think a cramped driving position doesn't bother me as much as it bothers some others though.

Under 6ft no dramas at all IMO, regardless of model

Yeah I meant the sierra stockman with the fibreglass back. I've posted in the wanted section with pictures of the differences to be clear. Guess I wasn't too clear here tho. Soz.

Thanks though for all the responses. I'm only 15 and still growing I think, so just wanted to make sure they're not too small that's all. Thanks for your help. Feel free to check out my wanted post too.

We still need to know what model you're referring to as a "stockman"

If it's a maruti, you'll be fine.

If it's an actual stockman ute (as in an LJ81) you might find it very cramped.

If it has a fibreglass rear wall then 99% it's not a Suzuki
