    I have issues with mine, too. Every time I pull the height lever, my seat slides forward and back. It's very annoying.

    My T4R seat height adjustment functions much better than any previous Tacoma I've owned...wonder if it's because it's still made in Japan?

    I checked on the warranty. My dealer said there is a TSB. It is TSB #joyoftacoma.
    He said this is the solution.

    That's what test drives are for. If you needed the seat height adjusted and noticed that the 3rd gen didn't come with one would you still have bought it?

    Mine works great and is totally adjustable. I wish they would've cushioned it a bit more though. Does yours look like this?

    You can always install a second gen seat lift.

    My seat fluid was a few ounces low. Take to dealer and demand they check yours. This is a global systemic issue with all 3 gen Tacomas.
