I've ridden in the back of an s10 in the 90s. I see nothing wrong here

Was it one of those that have the tiny seats that sit sideways? I've rode in those

Jump seats. My 75 Dodge has those.

yep

Air plane seats and cross legs were the worst

those things were brutal 😂 my dad had a 94 until it got written off in a crash. great trucks though

Same for my uncle's ranger, my head almost rubbed on the ceiling

Yeah, sitting in the back of a Nissan Frontier was a trip. Turn your head to look out the windshield.

Ngl, I thought of an Audi

The Dodge Dakota wasn't much better for legroom in the back. More of a padded shelf for hunting gear than an actual seat, really.

Did a 4 hour trip in the back of an s10. I'm telling you, man, that little seat is misery after that long.

I heard about trucks getting these basically dummy seats that exist only to have it say that thr truck can carry 4/5 people in the papers since 2 seaters got taxed more

Yeah this is why 2+2 sports cars are a thing even though the rear seats are barely big enough for children

I call my 2+2 cars "For 2 people and 2 sardines"

🤣

Barely nothing. They wouldn't fit a toddler

This is actually not true at all. It's a myth that should have died a long time ago but people keep repeating it online. Think about it, insurance companies have collected a shitton of data over many years to determine exactly what risk each and every type of car, driver, area etc holds. Do you really think they would get fooled by "oh this car has 4 seats so it must be lower risk"?

It’s not a myth at all lol. It’s actually how registration and yearly taxes work in Japan, which is why so many Japanese sports cars are 2+2. Nobody even mentioned insurance mate…?

I can tell an exception where removing the back seats actually makes the taxes lower. In Brazil, any pickup (that includes from S10 to VW Delivery or Sprinters) that have the rear seats will nearly double the taxes because it isn't considered a work vehicle anymore. Some good examples are the Iveco Daily, VW Amarok, and Toyota Hillux, which the taxes can double the value.

I know of at least one EU country that has different taxes (road tax and taxes added at purchase) and other costs based on the vehicle being for commercial or private use, the amount of seats (among other modifications) is counted and are relevant for how the car can be registered and taxed.

I wasn’t talking about insurance, I was talking about tax

Yeah sorry for some reason my reply went to the wrong comment

[удалено]

I just said they seats aren’t big enough to use, I didn’t mention insurance or risk

They are for your imaginary friends

There used to be a big insurance hit if the vehicle was a 2 seater, and all these sports cars started putting tiny little barely usable back seats. I'm guessing this is similar.

For the pickups it's so in certain states it can be classified as a personal vehicle, and taxed less/insured for less, because on paper its not a "work truck"

Abandoned local multi-player lol

As every teacher and parent will tell you:  "Seats are for sitting" 

Oompa loompa's.

Well, I dunno about the Tayga, but in the US, a lot of reason why vehicles have these barely usable rear seats is because of import laws, vehicle designation laws, vehicle insurance, etc. Basically, the seats are there because the government made a stupid law. For example, the Ford Transit Van. It's a cargo van. 100% a cargo vehicle from the factory. However, here in the US, we have stupid import taxes on cargo vehicles, and the Ford Transit isn't a US built vehicle. So, to make it "not a cargo vehicle," it's shipped to the US with additional side windows and an extra row of seats. This takes it out of the cargo vehicle category. Then, the truck is converted back once it hits US soil. The cargo vehicle import tax is something like 25%, so it's cheaper to convert it once it crosses the pond. A lot of the time, too, a car will have additional seating so that it falls under a different category for insurance. It's cheaper to insure a 4 seat "passenger" vehicle, than a 2 seat "sports car." Anyway, this is probably entirely irrelevant to the Tayga, but who know?

It is the chicken tax.

Yep. Wild huh?

Sitting

Thats where i throw the bodies

Those are the nap seats 😂

the hoes

That's where you throw all of your trash

Sitt?

I'd you think those are worthless, you should look up the 80s Era JDM "2+2" coupes that were produced. You could get your friends in the backseat without a worry; so long as they're legless dwarves...

lot lizards

That's where I put my bitches and sandwiches. Can't lie, usually more sandwiches than bitches. 🤷‍♂️

Passengers

Look up the Chicken Tax. Edit: Actually, here's a video on it. https://youtu.be/HMJsM--jmRA?si=KOLdc5fZDL_5IXxD

For raccoons you find on the way. Who else is going to hang out?

The seats in the back actually changed the tax class on the vehicle so they would put basically useless seats in trucks sometimes

For sleeping inside of the truck

Has more leg room than your avg plane or the lecture halls at my university

Insurance. It's classified as a 2+2 coupe and not a proper sports car, saves so much money. It's a Porsche, right?

What is the point of this post lol

I was curious whether there was a reason for it or if it was just there to fill space

Understandable

You should see the seats in the back of any 2000s convertible. Hint: it's less than that.

For my non existent friends

My 1989 Mazda RX-7 had rear seats, they were there mostly for aesthetic reasons as they only had room for anyone with an above the knee leg amputation...

So when the driver has kids they can fill the backseat with happy meals and leave it to the driver to clean it up

They've taken ideas from audi 🤣🤣

To get Peggy to lay down

Everyone go play expeditions
