2014 Seats Suck

After recently turning in my 2013 and picking my 2014, I like the TRD seats. They feel to me that they are a bit higher from the floor than my 2013, and definitely higher than my 2006 was. I struggled in my 2006 because the low seat height caused my knees to bend and force them into the center console. That's no longer an issue with the newer ones.

 

Mine are in the mail ... looking forward to see if there's a difference ... thanks for posting. Do you feel that the thread engagement is good.

 

I find my seats to be extremely comfortable

 

Plenty of thread engagement.

 

Seems like op needs trd seats!

 

My seats are nice and comfortable......

 

Only for the rear of the seat? Or can you get it all the way around. I'd like a little more height up from the floor, but I'm 6'5. Kinda worried my head will touch the headliner. Lol

 

I am 5'11" and have about 2-3" to the headliner. You may be able to use the 1" spacer for the front and their 2" spacer on the rear of the seat.

 

I just ordered a set of rear 1 inch spacers on friday; I don't think they've got anything to lift the front due to the angled rail feet.

I just took my seats back to stock. My back is still not happy with these seats. I'm currently scouring junk yards and eBay for some Volvo seats.

 

I feel the metal bar at the bottom of the backrest. I had the same issue in a 1st gen with TRD seats though. If i crank up the lumbar support it feels better. I still need to play with the seat adjustment a bit. I don't hate these seats, but compared to BMW sport seats, these are subpar.

Katzkins are getting installed right now. They have a bit more padding, so will see if it makes any difference. Picking it up tomorrow afternoon.

(they have a weird light at the shop and my iPotato does not take good pictures in bad light conditions. the leather is black)

 

I have a 4" circle in the middle of my seat that is fraying. It is just that one spot, and I don't have a clue what caused it. I plan on pointing it out at next service visit. I purchased an extended warranty through the dealership that is suppose to cover the inside/outside against stuff like this. So I guess we will see in a few thousand miles.

 

Me, too. I sit up straight, so do not miss the lack of lumbar adjustment on the regular cab.

 

I just spaced up the back of my '14 trd seats only about 1/4"(with washers), just to try it out. Sitting in the seat, I definitely feel the difference, feels a little less like a sports car, and more like a truck.

 

Installed this afternoon ... I like the feel.

 

So after 2 days on Katzkins have to say that the seats are much more comfortable than OEM due to extra padding. Or maybe due to a placebo effect...

Did try 1" spacers in the back. Not my cap of tea. Turns your sport seats into flat bench seats.

 

Good to hear about the katskinz, thanks. I think the spacers helped with one of my issues of sitting down in a hole (I'm short) but it just reinforced how rock hard the stock foam is in my truck.

 

I had good experience w Katzkins on my '00 TRD. The guy at the shop custom fitted extra padding in the lumbar and bolsters. It was exactly what was needed. The extra padding firmed it up and added support where I needed it. If you are dealing with a good shop, I don't see why you can't get this done.

 

Im 6' 175 and the trd offroad seats fit me perfect.

 

I agree. These seats are not comfortable at all. When I was younger I am sure it wouldn't bother me. But as I have aged, these seats leave a lot to be desired.

 

I have a 2014 TRD Sport. Not sure what seats I have, they are comfortable. Much more so than my 2006 Tacoma.
I'm 5'10", 175lb...hate walks on the beach (see avitar), like beer, and will only cuddle for money.

Good looking seats too...covered now but still.
