    Title says it all. What was the year that the rear seats in the Access cab taco go from a divided bench seat to dual seats with a space in between?

    Also, those early ones with the long divided bench, did they have 2 sets of seat belts or 3?

    Anybody? I think it was '08, but I'm not 100% sure.

    I had an 08 AC and it had 2 individual seats, maybe you are thinking of some utility package or something.

    Unless if was before '08 then. Basically, the earlier models had these two long bench seats that touched in the center. Like this one: [​IMG]

    Then at some point they changed to a pair of nearly individual seats, like these:

    Just trying to figure out exactly in what year that happened.

    I can't remember if my 08 touched after it was folded down or not, the front seat did not fold like that one in that pic.

    There was definitely more room back there in my 08 than there is in my 15.
