Long road trip and 3rd Gen

Lol. I solo (in 3 days) drove a 10 year old RSX from California to New York on Buddy Club Coilovers without issue. Then drove it to Virginia 2 years later, and then California, and then Oregon. Pick a car, any car....preferably a Japanese car.

 

I like the current model of Camry as a rental car for trips.

Big locking trunk space to hide valuables, comfortable seats.

 

I find the taco suprisigly comfy for long trips... it is not a Bentley - but I was surprised.

I just did 2,600 miles in rough roads in Baja. And do longish trips here out west.

No issues at all. I'm 6'1"

I find it likes 65-75mph best. This makes sense. It starts drinking significantly more fuel above that as you spend most of the additional fuel in the struggle to push more air.

 

I've drive my 2018 V6 4x4 Tacoma numerous times from Palm Coast FL. to Cincinnati and back. It's just under 900 miles. I stop for gas, piss breaks, and usually grab some fast food and eat while driving. No worries at all.

I'd like to use the damn cruise control, but the RPM's are crazy using it. I can't see how it could get better gas mileage using it.

 

This was the same for me. I find it funny everyone seems to throw out seat jackers as a guarantee (which I’m sure 99% are talking about raising the front of the seat). With all the different variables that isn’t something you can say without a doubt a good buy. And for those that didn’t think that through before listening and buying, well you had a 50/50 shot on if it really works for you.

I noticed the comfort of the work truck f150 and the seat base was more level. After a couple hrs in the taco I’d have back pain and just plain uncomfortable. That’s when I really noticed the seat base of the taco slants back, I bought rear risers and it was night and day. Replacing the cloth seat covers with katskinz (thicker material) gave it just enough cushion to notice a difference. I even replaced the hard like plastic weather tech floor mats with the soft like rubber husky mats and I could feel a difference in comfort. Those 3 things and I can drive 10+ hrs.

 

There's a guy on here. He sells rear spacers. They fix the angle. That's the point.
They go in the back.

No idea what the hell a "seat jacker" is, nor why one would put anything in the front. But if they want to, that's fine. They can put potatoes on the left side too.

 

I was agreeing w/ you about rear seat risers since you were the only one to mention it and then shared my experience for op. Not sure what you read but definitely lost in translation.

I have machined risers already for both seats (perfect fit for the legs and cover although he stopped making them) and yes obviously changes the stock angle/seating position. Seat jackers that everyone here or any of the other posts regarding seat comfort across the forum are talking about is a brand company that makes a front seat riser. I’m just gonna stop there

 

I never really thought about putting them in the back. Reason being is with my long legs the backs of my legs were a bit lifted off the front of the seat and would they splay outward... if that makes sense. A lot of people recommend the (front) seat jackers, so I decided to bite the bullet and they made the ride more comfortable.

That said, I looked at the seats today and you're right, the base is tilted back some.

 

That’s the variables I was talking about- height/leg length plays a huge part, maybe the most important tbh.
