    no complaints about the seat. I test drove a 2019 initially and bought a 2020. the power seat is great no problem for me to be comfortable for hours

    No complaints here. The addition of the power seat is a bit overkill, but I have it adjusted high so see over the hood.

    I have the power seat in my 2021 Taco and love.I have short legs so to be able to play around with the height adjustments is great plus I have to keep the seat down when I get in and out cause the truck is high for short people not complanining lol.

    I bet Camry and Corolla owners don't complain about the seat being too close to the floor. I am 6'1" and have never had a problem with the plain old non-electric seats in my Gen 3, even on extended road trips. I used to drive a BMW S7 at work, and a couple hours in that and my back would be throbbing. Get back into my truck and the pain would be gone by the time I got home. I even lay them back and sleep on them to avoid having to take out my bedroll on trips.

    Check build thread!
    I agree! I liked the lower seating position a lot, and I'm 6 2.

    Fair, you win. I stopped for gas, and when I did I would take a piss and get Redbull, coffee, and food.

    I'd recommend a condom cath with a Texas rig over a depends if actually going non-stop.

    I have a power seat in my 2021 and hate it. It's plenty comfy, but I spend a lot of time sitting in the truck where I want to move the seat back, or need to get gear in/out of the back and want to move the seat forward. Having to wait for the slow motors to move the seat rather than a one second manual adjustment seems so stupid.

    I was us to my old tundra seating which i thought couldn't be any better. The tacoma power seat is ok once i got it where i wanted. Imo, i still think my old tundra seating was better. Lets just say i'm not big fan of the power seat in these tacoma's either, but on the other hand i wouldn't know how it was before they had these seats.

    it's made me wonder why shorter people need "thigh support". I'm not super tall at 6'1" but have never been sitting in a car and thought "I wish I had more thigh support". Most of the videos I've seen of people on youtube pushing seat jackers or complaining about the seating are shorter. Using my detective skills as to where their body matches up with the truck and if its lifted or not you can tell they are short.

    I don’t understand the thigh support thing either. I’m average height.
