Been getting used to the IsoDynamic seats in my TRD Pro and figured I’d see what everyone else thinks. Here’s where I’m at so far: Pros: Way more comfortable off-road than I expected — they actually do save your back. Your head doesn’t bounce all over the place, makes it easier to stay locked in on the trail. Being able to dial in the firmness is a nice touch. They feel solid without being super heavy or bulky. Honestly they’re just kind of quirky and cool — feels like one of those features people will look back on in a few years and go, “remember when Toyota put shocks in the seats?” Cons: Backseat legroom definitely takes a hit. They’re pretty snug — bigger folks might not love the bolstering. Headrests don’t move at all. Only manual recline, would’ve been nice to have power adjust. Not sure how the shocks will hold up long-term with dirt and dust. Couple questions for everyone else: Anybody found any hidden tricks or “Easter eggs” with these yet? What PSI are you running? I’ve seen people throw around numbers like 60/15 for crawling and 70/20 for faster stuff. Curious what’s actually working out there. I think im running 60/20 right now and havent had any issues. So far I’m liking them, just interested to see how everyone else is setting theirs up.

While at Overland Expo East, I was able to see the 4Runner and Tacoma Trailhunter models side by side. This is the first time I’d ever seen them next to each other, and it was cool to see come differences between the two models. I noticed that the 4Runner had some Toyota tires vs the Tacoma that had Goodyears. Also, the 4R didn’t have an ARB rear bumper or recovery hooks. Also, the interior of the 4R was a bit nicer too. I break it all down in my video here.
