Why does this seat suck so bad?

Basically your only option on the pre 2020 years is the seat jackers for under the front of the seat and they also have spacers for under the back that come in different thicknesses so you can pretty much dial it in for your own structure.

 

You probably need a bigger truck.

 

I have one, but also like the taco

 

I personally think they are some of the most comfortable seats as well. 6'1" and getting heavier every year. Sat in a Rav4 the other day while car shopping and thought they were uncomfortable though

 

It seems odd that 6’3” people complain about seats in a small truck. It happens all the time here. It isn’t just you. Toyota does build a truck that fits Bigfoot folks.

 

What do you weigh?

 

I'm referring to my having to tuck my head, hard, when getting in or out of the Tacoma, something I don't generally have to do, in most vehicles, including my old '90 HiLux.

 

yes, the Tundra. I have one

 

too much!!! 215

 

215 isn’t that much. But these small vehicles fit shorter people, no doubt.

 

You should spend a week working in a Jeep dealer. Wrangler owners bitch about everything.

Dude your avatar had me laughing for a half an hour.

 

Story of my life…

 

There's hardly any difference between power and no power seat. I've had both. There's not a lot that can be done by Toyota until they redesign the cab. Currently the floor to ceiling space is really short and thus not a lot they can do to change the seat design.

Personally I've had over 30 vehicles of all sorts and Tacoma seat is about the worst out there, ergonomically it's terrible. Only other one that was worse was the Honda Fit seat. But after a while you get used to it and for anything under 2 hour drive it's ok.

 

I have a 22 with power drivers seat. On the highest setting it still does not support my legs properly. The seating position is better than gen 2 in my opinion but still sub par for long distance support. I took advantage of the DDI promo and bought fronts for the passenger and full set up with compressor mount for the drivers.

 

i ask everyone when i see these, do you do all four, or just jack up the front?

 

Im not sure if they make them for the rear seats, I’ve never looked. My dogs are the only ones who ride in the back and they don’t complain much lol

 

I think he meant all 4 bolts on front seats.

 

I am "fortunate" to be only 5'7. I fit in almost any car. Lucky me eh?

 

I wish those would return! My grandpa had a '78 New Yorker. I have never experienced such comfort! I also liked how the car had the turn signal lights out on the very front/top of the hood ... no old guy could drive with their turn signals on without realizing it.

 

Spent five years in a Bostrom that set the standard for me. Like the commercial truck, all my full-sized pickup trucks sat me upright and forward on the wheel.

The Tacoma sits low and back from the wheel. Hated it. I’ve got the 2020 electric seat raised all the way up and forward enough for my wrists to drop on the wheel with my back against the seat. Combined with Jackers front and rear, it’s still not great, but a hell of a lot better than what I started with.

Now that’s a seat!
