    I have a 2007 Dble cab lb
    I just got. My 2013 acess cab had a very comfortable seat. The 07 seat seams tighter on the sides it looks the same but the bolsters on the side hurt my back. My mini s had sport seats with that same issue and they switched them out for the regular seats anybody got any thoughts or recommendation
    Thanks

    Are the two vehicles (DC and AC) different trim levels ... SR5 ... TRD? The '10 SR5 seats I had were okay but the '14 TRD seats are much better.

    TRD seats. Much more comfortable in my opinion.

    I'm guessing the 12 -15 have the same seats and the earlier model like my 07 is different

    Scoop = Sport ... I'm unsure of those seats.

    Do you have a receptacle in the bed? If yes, than its a trd.

    Took the truck to our local auto Upolstury guy and he's going to build up the foam so the side bolsters do not sgueeze me on the side so much. I'll report back after its done and let everyone know how it turns out. Perhaps someone else could use the same fix

    Too poor to list anything interesting.
    I have the base model and the basic seats and found them to be comfortable. But once I threw the wet okole covers on them, they were amazing.

    I think I just figured out from looking at the okole seat covers that I have the sport bucket seats in my truck would prefer the regular bucket

    Took two wheels to work today but will get photo out later. The pocket is not as deep with 2" of foam you can tell the difference between the two seats but only if you said something

    Internet high five for going to an auto upholsterer for a fix.

    Countless threads on here of "I just got a new truck, the seat sucks. What seat should I swap in?" Don't know why the first inclination for some is to go spend hundreds or even thousands on new OEM seats from a different vehicle when cost effective solutions are available so easy and affordable. Nobody thinks of fixing anything, they'd rather have a $35k truck with mismatched, cobbled together seats instead of a customized fit for pennies on the dollar.

    I love you, Taco Tuesday.

    I might have the passenger seat done too but like I said if I didn't say anything you wouldn't notice
