I'm too tall for my 2011 Tacoma double cab seats.

    I'm 5'10. I purposely hit my head getting in the truck. I enjoy the pain, because I know I've hurt people, and I need to feel the hurt I've caused them.

    Just kidding. IDGAF. And I fit just fine in my truck.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    I may. I'll try and find them. If you've got a few extra $$ sitting around I highly recommend a set of lower "car seats" I fact, toying with an idea I removed the bench and sat on the floor. It was the perfect height and was so much more comfortable ( just sitting on the floor!) so now I'm toying with the idea of removing the seat completely and having two foam blocks (so I can remove the passenger side) that just sit on the floor but I don't want to go crazy, just yet. We'll see. If your back is that long maybe there's a chance you can join the Circus as a side show act! ;)

    I bet if you're willing to lose the seat sliding function, you can lower the seat some by ditching those tracks.

    There is nothing in my posts that is trolling anyone. Sorry that you both are so sensitive that my straight forward answer offended you.

    If you paid $30,000 for something that is too uncomfortable then who does the culpability fall on? Not me that is for sure, so don't take your short sightedness out on me. I'll guarantee that if I am paying 30K for something I am going to make sure it fits what I need it for.

    Trade it for a Tundra if that what fits. That is an honest answer for your particular issue, like it or don't. Learn from your mistakes, as you obviously have made one.

    As far as your bolded comment above: I do have it all figured out. Just so ya know! :D

    Really, you must be a short 6'9'', ha!

    My Cousin is 6'8'', had to pry him into the front seat and his head was touching the headliner not to mention his legs looked damn painful.

    nothing cool
    Before i bought my truck i had heard that some people felt like the seats were too low in the cab. I'm 6 ft and i actually feel like theyre perfect. I do think the roof life comes down maybe too low? Sometimes i have to lean over forward to see a stoplight because its blocked by the roof line. But its not a deal breaker. Maybe you can find a power seat out of a Highlander which has the lower/angle button. And then you could tilt the seat down and back? Probably a little expensive and not what you want to hear. But it might work.

    My suggestion would be play with the ergonomics of the truck to suit you. Pull your seat towards the dash a bit and recline it a little more. This will lower your upper body slightly while maintaining your arm distance away from the wheel. You'll lose some leg room, but as stated, there's not much you can do unless you're going to flap the roof.

    Also great thread. 10/Potato for awesome.

    Also in the spirit of the thread I feel I should offer a generalized non specific "Eat a Dick" to no one in particular.
