I like manual seats. Quicker adjust and less to malfunction. Plus if I need to adjust before getting in and the weather is bad I'm not waiting for a slow motor.

 

I don't care about power either, I just wish for some height adjustment. I think the article suggest they may address that on an upcoming model year.

 

Ok so Toyota is going to implement power seats in further model years, cool.

 

I don't know about you guys but how often do you adjust your seat?

 

^^ never

 

I want my next vehicle (perhaps a Tacoma) to have power seats. My fiance's 2002 Ford Windstar's has power seats with height adjustment. They're awesome. My 4runner doesn't, making longer drives not as enjoyable, as well as switching constantly between settings for two drivers.

Obviously if you don't switch your seats a lot it's not a big deal, but for those who do, it's a great benefit. The height adjustment when you're 11" taller than your significant other is nice too.

 

I'd rather have vented system with my heated system. So in the summer I can cool off my balls. My lexus has it and it's fantastic!!!!

 

Awesome to hear, maybe ill be a customer next year. I want a TRD sport double cable long bed with a manual transmission, 4 wheel disc brakes, and a power driver seat with height adjustment. Maybe leather too but not a deal breaker.

 

Power seats have been around for who knows, 50-60 years? You can get that feature on cars that cost less than 20K. But a 35K-40K 2016 Tacoma? Noop.

 

Wait hold it, in the article states "By contrast, the Tacoma shares only its roof with the

$90 2005-2015 Toyota Tacoma With 4L Right Petrol intake air snorkel kit high performance system compatible kit Replacement black Rotational Molding (2005-2015)

2005-2015 Tacoma. So says Rick LoFaso, corporate manager of Toyota's truck division, who spoke with reporters at a recent Midwest Automotive Media Association event near Chicago." but in a previous article Mike Sweers stated that the only carryover part was a seat belt buckle.

Awwwww shucks Toyota.....

 

I know get your story straight Toyota! LOL

 

More then I like, but that is due to the kiddos and car seats. Once they are grown up, I dont see me having to move them all that often!

 

If you are the only driver of your truck or the other drivers of your truck are the same body dimensions then probably not very often.

For everyone else, then often.

 

I think the part that is really interesting is that they keep reading forums. So what previous research did not told them about power seats?

Lol

 

ONCE .....on the day I drive it home.. The wife does not drive it. She has her CRV

 

Yes! I want a ball cooler too!!! Nothing worse than HOT BALLS.

 

I think power seats are great when you also get a memory function, that way you can put your settings into memory and then any time someone else drives the car you can switch it back to your settings. However, without the memory function I don't really find power seats any more useful than manual seats.

 

At that point you need the memory mirrors also.
