    Ok…just got my ‘17 SR5 yesterday and pretty much only have one gripe. The headrests on the rear seats are ridiculously large. Like stupid big. Is there an option to swap em besides just running without em. Not gunna do that but would like something a bit more….not huge.
    Thanks in advance!

    I took mine off and they live somewhere in the back area. If I ever have passengers there, the heads will be larger than the headrests.

    Spin them around, dont remove headrests, getting rear ended will snap your neck even harder.

    OP is talking about the rear seats.

    I just fully removed my rear seat head rests, for more rear view driving vision. Ski

    Are u worried about visibility ?personally I have never had a issue with it . What I do is use the back up camera ,rear view mirror and side mirrors .i can’t even recall when the last time i had turned around and tried to back up lol . Just give it some time u will get used to it .

    this is what I do, as an added benefit, the rear headrests help block the light from all the dipshits that seem to drive with their high beams on all the time :D
    I have a bed topper and can barely see out the back windows anyway, but spent many of years/miles driving a large box truck for work, so I very comfortable driving and backing using the mirrors.
