6'4 280 and this matches my experience. Take time to really get your driving position dialed in. Try different setups, give it a few days then try something else. This is the first car/truck I've ever driven (50+) where I DON'T put the seat all the way back. All the way down, yes.

I've driven SF > Chicago and back, did one side of that in 2 days. Plenty of long haul trips, and I haven't had issues dialing it in. But like Matt said, even just pushing it hard in the canyons I often wish it were more bolstered - if I go drive hard for 3+ hours I find my legs feel a little like jelly from how much I'm using them to brace myself in place. I can't imagine going to the stock seats in this grippy of a car if you like putting that lateral grip to use.
