2005-2019 Tacoma bucket seat compared to 2020 Tacoma power bucket seat

That would involve adding (somehow) a Multiplex Tilt and Telescopic ECU with a Power seat Control ECU and a Seat Memory Switch ...$$$

 

Have you done a floor to the top of the seat bottom on both seats? Pu both in the same position of fore/aft, seatback angle, and butt angle?

Please verify.

Damn seats are too high for me.

 

I didn't take any measurements. Look at the first post of this thread, it shows pictures of the seats at different heights.

 

It would be most awesome if you did.

 

Thats the thing I never understood. Why a manual seat height adjustment was never put on the driver tacoma seat. My fj cruiser had it. My mothers 10 year old corolla has it. As far as I kmow every other toyota model except maybe the tundra has it.

 

I remember watching a video where a Toyota engineer said the 2020 power seats can go half inch lower than than previous years. The seats are too high for me too.

@DG92071 is your product able to set the seat lower than the factory pre-2020 seats and if so how much lower?

 

Fixed it for ya.

 

Definitely interested in something like this if you get a working version!

 

Any progress?

 

So I have a 2012 regular cab, it comes stock with bench seats but I have seen people replace them with buckets. All of the bolt holes are apparently already there under the carpet, it just requires a little work in removing the harness and attaching the pressure sensors that work with the airbags. Being that the 2020 seats will fit I’m going to look for some from a junkyard. Will it be hard to run power to make the power seats work?

 

Definitely interested in this mod, not concerned about a memory setting since I'm the sole driver...

 

Power from the cab fuse/junction box

to connector (IE5) before getting to power seat distribution connector.(BA3)

 

Bueller Bueller?

 

Covid killed that goal

 

All parts from Wuhan?...

 

No, a serious financial hit.

Kinda wish I had held out for a 2020 or 2021 with the power seat. I don't understand people wanting these seats to be higher, the driving position is like sitting on a high chair and my head brushes the headliner. I literally have at least 2 more INCHES of headroom in my tiny MR2.
