5th vs. 4th Gen. Seat comfort?

[Slag]

I'm 6'4" 225lbs with 5th gen limited.
A week after I bought it I did a straight 18 hour drive. Once I found the right seat position, I was in great shape.

Now that's a test drive!

Maybe its just me but I hate the seats in my 2010 SR5!

They are OK for driving around town, but on long drives I get real uncomfortable after a couple hours.

I am planning on installing some Corbeau's in the future. I have never had a set of these but have heard wonders about them. I have also sat in them at a local shop and loved them.

In the end its all personal preference. I guess my butt is just picky

Well, as a follow-up, I test drove a 2011 SR5 with leather and the seat ergonomics were far better than my '05. Plenty of seat travel and even at the lowest setting it was a good 3" higher off the floor pan. It was a demo with 5K miles and already the leather looked fairly worn and felt thin; Toyota needs to spring for better leather so I think I'm gonna seek out the cloth with the 8-way adjustable option. Otherwise a nice rig over all, though now I realize I've been spoiled by my 05 V8 powertrain; gonna be tough to give it up. The 6 needs a turbo and a 6th gear if they're gonna leave the 8 out of it. The TE is cool but the slider is standard and I gotta lay down a Weathertech cargo mat to the SR5 it is. No factory nav but I can get along with a Garmin; easier in some ways.

The seat comfort of the 4th was the main reason I traded it for a 5th,
the seats were too uncomfortable in the 4th no matter how I adjusted them.
The 5th are higher and much better for my body.BTW, 5K mi on my leather seats and they still look like new with no signs of wear !!
