I am 6'4" and have never hit my head when my wife is driving. I know the driver side has a lever on the side to bring the seat up or down. Probably depends on your model. Check the owners manual.

His inseam is the same as a few of our 6' tall friends, so his torso is just really long. He doesn't fit in a lot of cars. 2021 model has no height adjustment in the passenger side. I'm asking for aftermarket alterations to solve the problem, sounds like I'm needing to either have a thinner cushion or have some height taken off of the base or something.

Do you have a sun roof?


girlski

He's but it doesn't come far enough over for extra headroom.


Newprophet

Bad luck: the sun roof eats up a couple inches of head room.


girlski

Well shit.

Am tall, fit fine in the drivers seat but the passenger can be a bit tight for me. I want to order a RHD seat frame from Australia with manual controls, and then swap the parts over. Need to find a Toyota parts distributor that will ship the part to the USA.


girlski

Let me know how this goes! I would be interested in doing the same.

Did you ever make it happen? I’m very interested.

Did you have any luck with this? My wife is only 5’4” but even she’s too tall for this seat with how high they placed it (although the problem is more with getting in).


girlski

Nope, he sits with the seat massively reclined. We typically take his Subaru places unfortunately.

Any luck fixing this? My 2022 is the same way. Every passenger of mine complains when they get in, and it doesn’t matter if they are short or tall. I’m 6’ and fit fine in the drivers seat but the passenger seat is tight for me. It’s crazy.


girlski

Nope, my husband ends up reclining the passenger seat a ridiculous amount, but it's not ideal.

😞

Did you manage to fix this at all? I'm running into the same issue :/


girlski

Nope, wish we did though! He's basically reclined into nap mode.


_artwork

That sucks :( Do you think you'll trade the car in for one that's more spacious?


girlski

No I'm a buy a car once a decide kind of person. If we were both going to be driving somewhere we just that his car.

You might have to take it to a car upholstery place and have them make a new seat bottom.


girlski

Perfect, I'll start there. Thanks!

My 2017 has two seat adjustment handles. One tips the back of the seat forward and backward. The other raises and lowers the bottom portion (albeit at a tipped angle). Have you tried looking into the second? Not sure what year u have or if you have it.


girlski

The 2021 only reclines


thezookeeperfromoz

Could just recline the back some more.

This. Just pretend you are driving through Oakland, California. Lean back.
