Drivers Seat - Upper Back Pain

worst case take it to a auto upholstery shop and have them make a custom foam inside made to your body, kind of like getting a new suit tailored. just a thought

 

Thanks guys, that's a good thought. I have cloth seats so I've already been considering adding Katzkin leather. I'm sure they could contour the seat at the same time.

Really appreciate the help.

 

I have the same problem with the Tacoma seats. The manual adjustment seats create so much pressure just below my shoulder blades that a 6 mile test drive was killing me. I have a '23 TRD Offroad on order (indicated build date was yesterday). The ergonomics obviously work for some people, but I am very concerned that even with the power adjustable seats I won't be able to get a comfortable position. Are their any leaks/indications that the 2024 will have better seats/ergonomics?

 

I too was having upper back issues right below the shoulder blade area. I’m not sure how it works but I just added 3/4 spacers to the back of the seat and it is worlds better. I may end up doing the 1” but for now much happier.

 

I'm a big fan of the seat jackers, but before you buy and aren't happy, try using 1/2" flat washers. IIRC, I have 3 under each side in the back of my driver's seat which was about 1/4". Screw around with it, experiment, then you'll know.

The upholstery shop idea may be the answer, though.

 

I just traded my '04 for a '22 TRD OR and have the same problem! I am glad I am not the only one. I am 6'3" and my upper back feels too large for the seats. It feels like an upholstery shop might be the way to go. The other issue I am running into is with the steering wheel distance. It is ridiculously far, and I can't get it closer without moving the seat closer, which cramps my legs.
