I'm 6'5"/260 lbs, and I have no problem making several thousand mile road trips. When you stop for gas, stretch and walk around for a moment, but otherwise it's fine. Make sure your seat is adjusted properly. CSG Mike gave a quick rundown on how it should be set up. He was talking about tracking your car, but it still applies.

- Next, "straighten" the back of the seat, so that you're sitting fairly straight, and the side bolsters on the back of the seat are supporting your torso; the FRS/BRZ seats are spectacular in this aspect. Now both your lower back and your upper back should be touching the seat. Adjust or flip the headrest around if its getting in the way.
- Adjusted properly, you'll probably never change this seating position for seat driving, because you don't get any fatigue!
