Adjustable rear seat in 3rd gen

Ok, I'm sure this topic has been beaten to death, but please humor a noob.

Does anyone do 2nd gen rear seat conversion on a 3rd gen Crew Max?

I drove my '08 over 11 years before buying a 2019 Sept last year. I assumed the rear seat was the same but was I in for a shock.

In my '08 I could slide the seat forward a bit and stow a ton of stuff (tools, etc) behind the seat, OUT OF SIGHT.

Now I'm going to have to forfeit some precious bed space to install a toolbox.

 

I haven't seen anyone pull off this mod yet

 

Toyota changed it after polling owners, so it is what it is. There are some under seat solutions though.

And there is the ESP stuff too

Yeah I saw the you-boob vid.

The survey must've been take. in a crack house. If they wanted more cargo space, buy a regular can and install a toolbox.

I think it's something that sounded good on paper but sucks in reality.

 

I don't know. My only issue with the fold up seats is that the floor isn't level AND there's no storage. If it were level or if it came with storage I would hands down prefer the fold up rear seats. Hell, I still do. I just haven't done the ESP kit because it's still new to me and I don't wanna go cutting her up. lol
