Driver Seat Swap

Have a 2021 SR 4x4 V6 Double Cab.

I got to drive an SR5 for a couple of weeks. While I would LOVE to have the power back window and the bigger screen those weren't enough for me to plan to trade it in later for an SR5.

Now the fact the power seat in the SR5 can raise you what feels like about 3-4" higher is a huge deal. That changed driving the truck for me. My SR seat has no height adjustment.

Could I just put an electric base in there and swap the cushions over give ground and power through my external fuse box and rock and roll? Do they make this product in an aftermarket option?

My other alternative was to go to an upholstery shop near me and see if they can cut the center cushion only out and replace the foam with a thicker piece. Any good advice on this issue?

Lastly I did think of the obvious. A 20 dollar Amazon seat cushion. While I will be trying this I still do not think it will quite ever me exactly what I'm looking for. But will be trying that first.

 

I mean, if you just want to raise the seat, there are plenty of posts out there that detail this. Basically, you get "seat risers", that raise the seat. You just unbolt the seat, insert the seat risers, then bolt it back in. Just search on this forum for seat risers and you will find links.

 

If you found a seat at an auto wreck, it would bolt in. You would need to find a power source. This would be the cheapest way to install the power seat. The cheapest way to raise your seat without adjustability would be seat jackers. There are several threads on TacomaWorld about them.

 

Thanks guys I'll search them out. New to using forums.
