Looking to see if anyone knows which in-cab height is the biggest. I’m not talking about the head room or anything but the actual height you sit at while driving, I know taking factors into account like seat height settings etc, but the closest thing to would be great.
I’d probably say Volvo FH or Stralis believe it or not.
Though my Axor is surprisingly high, much higher than the Morrisons DAF’s I used to drive. So low it felt like you were looking up at car drivers sometimes.
Bloody good for tight spaces though.

Magnum, then closely followed by a daf xf…a lug84 aka a 6th 4 man can stand up in the middle of it straight without touching the roof
OI!!!
MSG, i think you have misread the OP’s question
he is asking about the highest SEATED position, not internal standing height
and if you are referring to the standing height, the XF has much more than the magnum, but, the TGA/X XXL has got even more, the Iveco Eurostar Alto cab has got more than the XF too
I agree it’s got tI be Magnum. I think the Scania is one of the lowest, if I park next to a Magnum my head is level with the seat cusion. I actually prefer a low down seating position.

Depends on the chassis height, my rigid is on a construction chassis our artic is a standard distribution chassis yet my Streamline sleeper stands taller overall than the Highline unit. I’m 6’ tall and the seat cushion is at head height when I open the door.

Stralis isn’t actually that high for a big truck. Actros Megaspace gets my vote for highest seating height.

Agreed< you put a stralis nose to nose with an actros and you’ll feel like a midget in the iveco.

No I read it right you tight fit, if a 6ft 4 guy can stand up in the middle and still be a good 5+ inches from the roof then a seated position is pretty high, I mean for us short gits like me and you normal trucks have plenty of room,he’ll a lot roof for daz is like being in a mansion
