    Are you asking or telling?

    I chose the Taco over the Canyon (I really like the looks of the Canyon better, not by much but some) because of the overall value, implied reliability, and just how these things drive. The steering feels super solid in the Taco. Not so much in the twins.

    Is it the seating position that troubles you?
    There is thread that deals with installing longer bolts and spacers to improve the seating, but it is a pain when you have more than one driver. I test drove it and I find I seldom have to adjust it if ever, and I'm usually the only one driving and the other occasional drivers can live with it for a while. But yeah, maybe in another 10yrs Toyota will address the problem?? I just wouldn't hold my breath that long lolo!
    Hope that helps
    Cheers!
