2017 taco driver's seat

so...i have a 2017 taco with manual seats. I guess I've gotten spoiled with power seats in the past because i prefer to sit higher, but I can't because my seat does not have a height adjustment.
other than putting in spacers, which is totally doable, I was wondering if anyone else has any ideas or similar issues.
Also, I was wondering if there is a way to keep the same seat but convert it from manual to power. Thanks for any advice or info.

 

Welcome to the forum seat height and discomfort is a somewhat common complaint that you'll find discussion on here. Here's a thread to get you started

I think the seats are not too bad in the Tacoma, only complaint is the bottom is kinda flat lacking a little thigh support.

 

I like the seats

 

I was at the Dealer today waiting on some paperwork and jumped in a RAV4 that was on the showroom, seats felt pretty much just like a Tacoma seat except with much better thigh support.

 

You have 2 options available.

 

Some guys have used washers on the seat mounts to alter the height and angle

 

yeah I've heard of that too. seems like an easy fix. and safety should be good as long as grade 8 hardware is used.

 

Clazzio leather seat covers raised my butt by half an inch . Washers? Hmmm , you TW peeps have some awesome ideas !

 

clazzio ehh. ill check it out.

 

What do you think about the seats?

 

maybe its just me overthinking it but, i got accustomed to higher sitting seats. these are lower. also they are slightly harder than I'm used to.
again.....maybe I'm just overthinking it. or maybe I'm too much of a princess.

 

They are a little hard I'll give you that... Still, I have back issues and these seats are comfy to me. I have no complaints about them. My 03 WRX seats are still my favorite seats though.

 

Those seat covers makes a world of a difference in height the first time you sit on them.

 

yeah they look nice. a little pricey, but the PVC is less.
do they fit really well, or do they move around on you? how long do they last/ durability? thanks for the info.

 

I just put them on the other day, so I can't really give you a review. But the seat covers made me move the seat back a click and recline the seats back a little too.

 

How tall are you? I'm 5'9" and i don't see how anyone much taller than me can be comfortable in the truck seats. My knees hit the steering wheel when getting in the seat as it is.

 

5'10.5" and no issues I'm not sure what you're doing wrong

 

Im not doing anything wrong its fine for me I dont mind bumping the steering wheel I was curious how tall the OP was I cant really see needing to raise the seat up unless your 5ft tall.

This guy put strut bushings along with a longer bolt and washer. Oval out bolt hole on seat frame.
