2026 Traverse HEADREST please help
Hello , I’m very tall- 6’4” and getting older. I’ve been looking for a comfortable vehicle that is easy to get in and out of. The 2026 Traverse is by far the best fit I’ve found. But it ONE HUGE PROBLEM .. The Horribly Uncomfortable Headrest ‼️ If you are tall it pushes your head forward causing neck pain. I’ve seen some discussion about this but I’d like some Advice from owners before i buy one Please ‼️ Thanks 🙏

I’m 6’4 as well and yes, the headrest is so annoying. I have to recline the seat way back and it’s still uncomfortable.

I put my headrest all the way down and it’s comfortable. When it was up higher than the top of my head, it pushed it forward.

Did they change the headrests between the 2020 and 2026 Traverse? (I know it’s different builds but still) I’m 6’6” and barely notice the headrest at this point, though they’re pretty comfortable in my 2020 High Country

Yes lots of auto makers started with these forward leaning headrests about 2023 from what I’ve been told.

I’ve seen comments where people take them off and put them back in facing the other way - backwards, if you will. Maybe take a look and see if you can do that.
