    LOL, interesting to see the varied opinions.. With my Jeep GC I traded in, my back would hurt and right knee would be numb after 45 minutes, no matter how much I adjusted the seats..
    In my Tacoma, I've done a few 5 hour trips and have never had an issue at all :notsure: Go figure.

    If I sit close enough to reach steering wheel perfectly, my legs are raised and my ass hurts. If I move back to fix that problem, my shoulders/neck hurt from leaning forward for steeting wheel. Stupid micro-telescoping steering wheel.

    i agree. there is no reason they don't make the steering wheel telescope another 4 to 5 inches. it isn't any cost extra to allow that!! Still think they should also put adjustable seats weather many can move them much or not but allow the owner that

    It took me awhile to finally get mine right I put my steering wheel almost all the way up to keep my knees from hitting it getting in and out put the seat half way back lumbar all the way up and just a slight adjustment leaning back on the backrest from straight up and with the little bit of extra padding from the clazzio leather seat covers it feels good to me being 5'9 and 185 sometimes I will just get in the cab and sit to just relax awhile

    I'm 5-11 170 and the seat/steering wheel fits me perfectly. One of the few things I still like about the truck. Longest drive I've been on was 5 hours and then 5 hours back 2 days later both trips were pretty comfortable.

    Cruise control constantly shifting on flat ground or running me at 4k rpms was a lot more annoying than the seats...

    Was the $200 for driver seat, or did you get both done?

    sortof stock. 6112/5160, pro wheels and a tune.
    So after working with the dealership- they are going to pay to have my seat re-padded. (the same shop that rebuilt the seat in my 2011 is doing it) They are going to add foam to the cushion and add more bucket to it. 100.00 bucks, so not bad at all. Should be perfect when its done. Goes in Friday. The dealership really went out of their way to help me out, places dont really do stuff like that anymore. Its a nice change.

    I would have greatly appreciated if the driver seat of my DCOR had height adjustability.

    I have seen a few threads complaining of this. It did help me know something to look for in my test drives. I am 5' 11" and 175 pounds and do not find them uncomfortable, but my longest drive so far has been 3-1/2 hours (twice). For me, the biggest factor that could improve my personal comfort is the oft mentioned lack of telescoping for the steering wheel. It it telescoped as much as most vehicles do, I could sit further back and be even more comfy. It is a truck, so I didn't expect it to feel like a Cadillac or a $100,000 German sports car. In other words, its about as comfy as I expected it would be.
