Tacoma Seat Hack: Removing Rear Driver's Side Seat for Extra Space

TrdMarkey · 2025-07-05T05:09:59+00:00

I recently discovered that the rear driver’s side seat in a double cab can be taken out in roughly 5 minutes with just 4 bolts. Removing the entire seat provides significantly more room than simply taking off the headrests and folding it down. I’m considering building a custom platform to create a flat load floor, possibly with drawer slides for easy access to coolers or storage drawers. I want it to be removable, and I plan to keep the other 60% of the seat for my dog, in case anyone’s curious why I’m not removing the whole backseat. I’m still brainstorming, so any ideas are welcome.

I took my truck on a road trip from NWFL to Arrington Virginia for Overland Expo East. This truck is so freaking nice to drive when compared to my last 3rd Gen. The seats are super comfortable and the powertrain is really enjoyable for being a 4cyl. I averaged around 18 mpg. I know that’s not amazing but I have larger heavier R/T tires, a lift, and other additional weight added to my truck.
