Default Too tall for my RX450h

Hello,
I am only 6'4" tall kind of average to slim built and my head almost touches the roof if I sit up straight.
I am wondering if everyone my height has similar issue or not.
I did try multiple cars before and decided to lean my seat because I like this car soo much.

Is there an option to get the seat lowered by another inch or so??

TIA
Yeehaw

I'm 6'2" and my best friend is 6'7" and we travel often in a 450h, sharing driving responsibilities. We have no problems, except if we wear hat or caps. Now his legs hit the glovebox door as a passenger.

I'm 6'5" and am quite comfortable in the RX. I looked at the Highlander Hybrid with the same dimensions and felt cramped. Try moving the cooler from behind your seat.

The rear foot area does get cramped. We turned off the auto seat on exit function to prevent feet entrapment durning our trip.

Opening the moon roof shade is an option if too tall. Although not satisfactory in the winter, too cold.

I cannot lean my seat too much as my child cannot sit in his car seat if I do, and I like to sit kind of upright and aleart anyways.
I was wondering if there is a way to make it go down or even have the bottom TILT down.
