These 2012 front seats are killing me

Anyone else find it almost beyond belief that the front seats in a 2012 SR5 DC can be this uncomfortable......big disappointment with an otherwise great truck. After an hour, I'm ready to rip the driver's seat out and put in a beanbag...or something...anything.... Wow....

 

I actually like mine. I can't stand the sport seats.

 

After an hour in that seat....I was ready for a medic.

 

I have the 2012 SR5 and I have no complaints... Well nothing is perfect but they are not bad in my opinion. I drove to Dallas from Austin and back which is about 3-4 hours one way and I did not notice it being different than any other vehicle I have owned.

 

I liked the seats alot.. But my Wet Okole seat covers made alot more cumfy and nice..

 

Trade ya' for the bench out of my '08

I've sat on more comfortable benches in church.

 

I have a 2012 TRD Sport and love my seats. My buddy got a 2012 SR5 Texas Edition and was asking me if my seats were comfortable. When I asked him why, he said that his seats sank down too low when being sat on. We got our trucks together and I sat in his truck and he sat in mine. Right away I told him his seats were jacked up (Or should I say down?) Lol . This was even after he "shimmed" the back bottoms of both seats. IT WAS TERRIBLE!! Could barely see over the dash. Long story short, He contacted the management of the Sales Dept and the Service Dept at the dealership he bought it from. After explaining the situation, they told him to bring it in and then they let him sit in every truck on the lot until he found the best seats. He found a set of seats and the stealership swapped them. Maybe you should talk to your stealership. It's worth a try, you never know.

Without a doubt, these front seats are the most uncomfortable I've ever had the pleasure of sitting in. I've tried every adjustment combined. Lumbar, fore & aft. . I have Covercraft Neoprene covers and on or off, makes no difference. There is minimal "cushion" there anyway. By the way, I'll pass on the "bench seat" swap! My Dad had an '80's Toyota truck. Ya know...come to think of it....THOSE were the worst !! ...These are close though....

 

I have a 2011 TRD sport. I've had the driver's seat replaced once. I find the seat digs in to my lower back after driving for long periods. It starts to bother me. I'm told there is a bracket in the bottom of the back rest that has something to do with the "active head rest". If you push on it, the head rest moves. In a brand new truck, it's not bad. Once it breaks in a bit, there's barely any padding there. Anyone else experiencing this? They won't replace my seat again and basically told me I'm SOL.

 

I've found that a seat wedge helps.

 

Mine is very comfortable. Drove 4 hours up to Truckee the 2nd day I had my 2012 and felt great! No complaints.

 

Same here. TRD Sport, 8500 miles...still comfortable.

 

I spend 3 hrs everyday in the seat, and they are not the most comfortable, but then nothing will be comfortable if you are spending so much time driving.
It is 4cyl. Base DC.

 

09 sport, seats are OK but i wish they had more adjustment...like height/angle

 

The seats are not perfect. It's tiring to keep my hands on the steering wheel. Arm rests on the seats might reduce that irritation a bit. A pillow behind my head and a small comforter draped over me would probably round it all out nicely.

 

+1 thank you.

 

First I was like , then I was like

 

Well I wouldn't call seat comfort "the smallest issue" considering you are sitting in your seat 100% of the time you're in your truck...

But I will say that I find the seats really comfortable and I drive hours at a time often.

 

The seats in my 2012 ACLB feel great, at least compared to those in my '93 Dakota
