Seat cushions

I will be driving from PA to FL soon and looking for recommendations on how to make the seat more comfortable for long drives. I lifted the seats and tried the purple seat cushion but wow my ass hurts even after a 2 hour drive. Any recommendations appreciated.

 

There's an ass for every seat and apparently the Tacoma is not the seat for you.
I have driven countless hours in my Tacoma with my ass feeling fine. I am 59yo and 6'4 260lb so not a little youngster. Everyone is different.

 

I’ve done a straight shot from TX to CO ~ 15 hours and back and been fine. (With restroom breaks so not straight) but those with has were the only stops.

 

I bought my truck 3 weeks ago in Naples FL and drove non stop back to MN just taking gas breaks and a 1 hour to rest my eyes. 28 hours on the road because of 2 accidents causing big delays, but my butt did fine. Not sure a seat cusion would do much, b ut I am unaware of any that might work.

 

Front seat jackets make a world of difference.

 

Hi man,

I am starting to experience knee pain on my left leg. I drive a manual and 95% city driving so clutch on and off hundred times a day…

I won’t trade my truck for an auto. I am 6’ tall skinny, having 3 young kids I do not have time to exercise. So I admit that maybe some exercise would help, but, did you jacked up the front? Or the whole seat?

 

Lifting the front will give you some badly needed thigh support

 

What Shaker said. Just the front.

 

Take breaks.

 

Rather than trying to find a cushion, I would stop by a local auto upholstery shop and see what they can do to make your seat more suitable for your butt. You'd be amazed at what a good shop can do.

 

Another vote for the Desert Does It seat jackers, front only. I was good for about an hour before I started to get achy. With the jackers I can now drive comfortably all day.
Beautifully US made and worth every penny.

Good luck. I will say I can do 12 hour trips easily in mine, better than the full size F-150 I had for a company truck.

 

The only thing that finally worked for me was removing the pressure plate in the lower back. Must have been pushing on a nerve that made my leg go numb or something.

 

Would that work for my wife? She pushes on a nerve.

 

Removing your wife would solve that too!

I have one of these lumbar cushions in my Miata; I used to have back pain after driving it because the Recaro seat have no lumbar support. This cushion is adjustable and works great.

 

Any pictures of mod?

 

I didn’t take any because there isn’t much to see but there is a 2nd gen thread around here somewhere that’s similar. You just roll up the back fabric of the seat and you’ll see a pressure plate (facing the driver) on the lower back with a metal cable to it. It’s two bolts (10mm iirc) and I snipped the cable. Took like 15 mins.

 

Wife delete mod can be surprisingly expensive...
