2015 SR5 w/third row...does the second row fold down flat?

[kman79]

I recently purchased a 2015 SR5 4wd, that has 3rd row seating. The owners manual is not in the car, the dealer will get me a copy on Thursday. I've figured out how to fold the third row, but I'm unable to figure out how to fold the second row flat, or does it even fold flat...I sure hope it does.

I was wondering if anyone here can instruct me on how to fold the second row flat? Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

There's a latch on top of the back rests on the outer edge of the seats. Pull that and the backrests will fold down. There is a small slope when the seats are folded down but is relatively flat.

Headrests all the way down first then pull on the lever on the side and fold them forward. There is a cloth strap loop in the center for each seat bottom at the base of the back rest. Pull the seat bottom forward and up against the back of the fronts seats. Then pull up on the shoulder lever on the outer part of each seat back next to the headrests and lay them forward. The headrests will nestle up against the forward folded seat.

The 3rd row version folds differently than on the trail because the second row can slide. Works just as [MENTION=125742]DLH87[/MENTION] described, as you are unable to flip the seat bottoms up. This makes it so there is a slight incline as stated above. It is not as bad as most suv's but does not fold totally flat like the non-3rd row 4runners or the late Nissan Xterra's that also folded the seats up in a similar way.

Ah so. Thank you for the correction.

I guess i'll have to make do with the small slope.

I appreciate the quick responses, thanks for the info.
