- Do you fit in the Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road? I'm 6 foot tall and have some relatively serious issues with the Taco seating position. Don't get me wrong, I really do enjoy this little truck but it has required quite a few modifications to work well for me. Some experience this uncomfortable seating issue while others do not. It seems that the consensus is that if you are over 5 foot 8 inches tall, you might experience knee pain and very uncomfortable seating. This is mainly due to the fact that the seat is too short from front to back and it does not angle upward to give knee support. The seat jackers do help to some extent however, now it is very difficult to squeeze past the steering wheel. Again, if you 5'8" or under, you probably won't have any issues with the Tacoma seat.

I watched all of your videos (not logged in on my tv) and I just liked all of them (now logged in on my phone). Excellent content and I look forward to what's to come! Absolutely gorgeous truck and scenery! SUBSCRIBED!
Awesome! Thank you for the support Nick! Happiest of Holidays to you and yours!!
Seat jackets definitely helped my hip on longer trips. Those things really work. I moved my seat back because I was hitting my knee when I got into the truck. I’m 6’1”. But like you mentioned, in that position, my arms are extended out a little far. Guess it will be a compromise in the middle somewhere. Good content. Thanks for the videos.
Seat jackers certainly improved my comfort. Not sure what short person designed the seating position in the tacos, someone short and doesn’t drive???
5’9” and yes I knew the pain. Not anymore.
Hello Linda. I just did an 18 hour drive in the Taco and the seat jackers were a HUGE improvement over the 6 way power seat!!
I installed the front seat jackers about 6 months ago,it’s a huge improvement on leg support
LoL, that would be Jap designers.
The belch was a nice touch. Don't ever edit those out!
When I was a little kid I peed on the Continental Divide when I was visiting my Maternal Aunt and cousin
I'm 6'2 and feel ok in the seat but long drives are not great
I am glad that it works for you Rick. My legs must be too long ;)
Looks like you barely fit in there. Truck looks great what rims are those
It definitely is tight but is a great trail rig. Rims are these: th-cam.com/video/wUIVUB8PtzM/w-d-xo.html
The seat jackers are literally a piece of aluminum. Dont pay $100 for them. Ali express has it for $25.
It’s a safety part …
@@Maru-on4mu what’s the safety bro? Literally just lifts the seat. You can buy 2, test one for safety and use the other. Still save 50
The metal may not be heat treated properly. In a collision, the pin may shear unexpectedly, causing a loose seat base.
i came here to see if anyone else has issues with toyota seats. i have a 2023 rav4 and the driver seat is hurting my right hip joint on long drives. havent had a similar issue with any other car or truck. anyone else got a similar issue? i am so disappointed (got a couple more other issues with that car - like the gps, short visor, ect. ) :(
.
I just moved my seat rear all the way down have not had that issue like I did on my 17.
That could be dangerous in an accident to where you cant get out
nice truck sir!! by the way where did you get your rims? thanks
Ya I’d like to know what make they are because that look and colour goes really well with the rest of the truck
What happened to your center caps on the wheels?
did you test drive a new Frontier before buying the tacoma?
My 2018 frontier paint started peeling after 5 years, and in winter blows cold air when idling,going to look at Tacomas.
Have a 19 pro and im 6 foot 220 and never been uncomfortable in the seat. Guess it just depends on the person.
I know what you mean, ya sit too low in the Tacoma, I was not comfortable so I bought a 2023 S model king cab Frontier. In the Frontier, you sit high with your knees below or even with your hips. I'm 5'11.
I have the same issue with my 2021 Tacoma. Hurts my knees badly and I'm 5'8". I was noticing it mainly effects my right leg because of the constant pressure of the gas pedal.
No issues with any other vehicle. Almost makes me regret the purchase
I tried them, I found I didn’t like them. The seat position was comfortable, but I felt like the rest of me was way too high up. Arm rests were a mile below me. I might get the ones for the rear of the seat and try again, but I much prefer it stock.
beautiful. I just put in the trd pro rubber floor mats right on top of the carpet mats and it worked great. Just thought that might help ya. Take care bro
Definitely thanks for the tip Chris! I make a mess in the truck pretty darn quick!
@@goldsteadingoverland Have a question for ya. do your tires have the side wall pattern going one way on one side of the truck and going another way on the other side? thanks....
@@Chris-bx9hp are you kidding ?? To be that anal about a tire sidewall pattern. Unreal
Just got a 2023 Offroad. You are right, the seats are complete trash
So jealous of your filming locations. Are you able to film an entire episode without passerbys? I found a honeyhole for filming so I thought then saw a parked vehicle for a hiker. Also might want to get some mudflaps on there with all the debris getting kicked up to the body and behind the rear bumper. Will save your paint from rock chips and prevent corrosion to the rear bumper area.
Mud flaps are on the list. I sure do love it up here! I make a point to find neat spots and film away from people, it's much more comfortable that way. This day was a bit interesting though. I thought I was far enough away from people but during the shoot. A tesla from California somehow made it down there. 3 youngsters got out dressed suburban gangster like and proceeded to film a shoot for a "rap video" pretty weird. 2 other cars came by and 1 3rd gen taco, a dude and his girl for lakeside chillin.
So pretty up there in the mountains you lucky
I absolutely love it. Dreams and adventure everywhere!
I just got the 2023 sx 4x4 ... im 5'10"
And I sorta got the same problem actually.. I gotta get some of these spacers thanks!!! Hey does your seat squeak at all?...
That sucks I’m going to look at the new Frontier
I know you mentioned you going to lift that truck. What brand you going for?
I got everything in, now just gotta find time. Bilstein 6112 in front with 650 spring and Bilsteins in back with AAL
Had the same thing in my Toyota Matrix. Not uncommon by any means.. No thigh support
I'm about to buy my first truck. And I've tested this taco from my buddy for the first time on a 2.5 hour drive. Gotta say. I'm 5'10 and my legs didn't feel good. Felt like I had to turn side ways to support one leg at a time to not get that toilet numbness. Legs felt extended to reach peddles. But arms also didn't feel right. Like to close to my body. Truck didn't hug corners more like rocking but over all its a nice truck. Still debating.
Chloe Kuo did it first
Never experienced any fatigue in stock Tacomas. Then again I am an average height, you poor buggers who are tall are at a disadvantage. I’ve put in some 800+ km days in the saddle and feel refreshed even at my age. Anyhow good luck with your mods.
Hell I am 5'8" and I think the Taco's seat suck. When I first saw these I was a little skeptical, but these things work. Coming from a super comfortable F150 I found the Taco to be very uncomfortable and it rides like a mule. It still rides like a mule but at least the seats are better with this mod.
If you have a 4" suspension lift you need an 1.25" seat lift. 6" lift requires a 1.5" seat lift. I can't drive these smaller trucks, I need full size
YOU CAN MAKE THOSE YOURSELF YOU DON'T HAVE TO OVERPAY FOR THAT CRAP
GET SOME SQUARE OR RECTANGULAR TUBING A STEP DRILL BIT OR ANY OTHER TAKE THE MOUNTING BOLTS OUT FROM THE FRONT MATCH THE THREADS AT HOME DEPOT ADD 1.5" LENGTH YOU JUST SAVE $60 EASILY
Was thinking of getting the 2023 trd off road. But, that seating position. Yuck
You need a Tundra.
Man that just sucks overall. I’m 6’1” and I was hoping to swap my 2022 F-150 lariat over to a nice tricked out Tacoma but after seeing how tight things are, damn I’m not so sure now.
im 6'1" in my 40s and it doesn't bother me. Stock seat with a sunroof 2020 taco. Its a manual as well. I can actually extend my leg completely in the seat behind the pedals.
I'm 6'2" and really want to like this truck.
The entry dynamics with the knees hitting the steering wheel will be a major issue that I may not be able to overlook.
@@cs1992 i have one. About same as you. It's annoying.
Get the 24. They finally fixed the seat issue
I would bet you don't keep the truck long. Not being comfortable is a pain. At 5'9 I have my front tilt setting on the seat all the way down and my knees are still resting on the seat. Still not the most comfortable seat though. If I could fit it in my garage I'd be driving a Laramie Ram.
I can feel your uncomfortableness. I am 5'8" and I have to move the seat back and forth each time I hop on the seat.. I love my truck but the driver seat is worst, never had any experience like this in any other vehicle.
You need a 2021 or older tundra
I had a 1st gen Tundra before this. Loved that truck fully! The taco is an ideal geology trail rig for me but it also needs a 3/4 or 1 ton companion ;)
Wonder if you can find a smaller diameter steering wheel with or without a flat bottom if clearance is really that bad/annoying
I got rid of my brand new (at the time) 2017 Tacoma for a few reasons, one being lack of comfort or just plain being uncomfortable. I went back to a 1st gen for playing around off-road. You’ve got a beautiful truck and I remember those gorgeous View growing up a few years in Colorado. Thanks for sharing the idea.
Was this something you never considered when you first saw or test drove the truck? The scenery was gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.
Seat jackers
Boom!
Nice format. Little about truck and than some scenery than more about seat hardware and installation and than some more scenery and history about lake and back to seat comfort and final thoughts. Well done sir. You spaced it out real good and made it an interesting video. Keep ‘‘em coming.
Im a short person, no issues with this truck for me. Sometimes being short is good.
the tacoma seating are way too sporty and aggressive for me too, have sat in one with jacks yet though
You need to purchase predator step bars let’s you step up and get in
Had the same issue with my TACO. Terrible seat ergos.
I’ve been saving for a new Tacoma but after some of the videos I’ve been seeing, makes feel not so sure
Run
What do you film with?
oh that color... Luna ROCKS!!!
1:05 🤣
1:05😆
I’ve never seen anyone Jack the front up. I see people Jack the rear of the seat up.
I added Reno brand seat jackers to my ‘17 OR and they really helped.
I guess what works for some people doesn’t work for others.
My next-door neighbor had back problems and always bought vehicles with fully adjustable seats. He told me he always liked the front of the seat as low as it would go, and the back as high as it would go.
I had an old Cherokee XJ I added washers to raise the back up. I found it more comfortable..
Get a full size truck
Gonna get one of those too. There is no one do all truck.
Your knee pain could also be caused by minimal range of motion use throughout the whole day. Fixed knee positions for long periods of time would exacerbate the knee pain and stiffness. Maybe start doing squats or something 😆
Because I never have this knee pain issue even being 6’…
👍 buys a small truck meant to be compact and fit on small trails and complains about how small it is
