    Looking to lower my front seat and/or raise my rear view mirror... 6'6'' tall and tired of ducking to see under the mirror and getting in the truck. I have the hand crank adjustable seats and I think power seats may go lower but really need to raise the mirror. Love my 2013 Tundra Crew cab TRD 4x4 so far except this.
    Help me Obie one...you're my only hope.

    I'm 6'6", well I was. Damn gravity! I had to have the power seat. It makes a huge difference. I have mine all the way down and all the way back and am nice and comfortable.

    Something I've done on past vehicles is take it to a GOOD upholstery shop and have a layer of foam removed. They put a ton of padding in there.

    That makes my bony ass hurt just thinking about it! I love the seat in mine, the 1st gen wasn't nearly as comfy. What about shortening the rear mounts? Not that I've looked at mine to see if it's even feasible.

    I tried to get power seats, but they were only in the ones with a sunroof and don't get me started on vehicles with sunroofs. I saw the Tacoma mirror riser but can't seem to find one for a real truck.... j/k Tacoma's are almost as good as my Tundra.

    Also, Yes 4x4 Angel, you can come stand by me and feel short, always here for the troops.

    My 13 sr5 has power seat, no sunroof. I would think the sunroof would be harder to get than the pwr seat. Maybe they allocate more of the sunroof trucks out to sunny San Diego!

    If you get a 24" lift you won't have to mess with the seat or the mirror. You will always be looking down through the windshield. The mirror will be perfect.

    Im 6' even and my mirror may be slightly low too. My 6" lift, 20" wheels, and 37" tires seems to negate the problem. The front corner pillars are a definite blind spot for sure. Had a full size pickup hide behind the right one today. My Taco was bad about that as well and the rear view mirror being right at eye level and in the way was also an issue. .
