I’m 6’ 4” and find the drivers seat pretty comfy. More spacious than my 5th gen. Funny enough, our 2019 Hyundai Ioniq has more leg room and it’s just a tiny hybrid.

I'm a bit dissapointed by a couple of things with my new 25 Limited hyrbid -
1) The tight fit and lack of leg room in the rear seat.​
2) It's somewhat difficult getting and out from both the front and rear seat.​
3) The factory installed running board extend a bit too far. Just sliding out, your the baord rubs the back of your calf.​
4) No overhead grab bars in the rear, (I mentioned this once before).​
5) my neighbor mentioned the passager seat is a bit clostraphobic - he had to move the seat forward so his wife had a place to put her legs.​
I dunno... I guess this is what happen when you buy a NEW vehicle that you have never seen or test drove it. It's my own fault.​
Agree on ALL of this! My 2016 was so easy to ‘slide’ out.

Should'a bought a Land Cruiser Jonny.

I suggest you look at the second row of Tacomas owned by car dealers or friends first, so you can make a direct comparison. Anyway, you will not be satisfied with any car you buy.

Actually I looked at the LC and the number one complaint from me and my wife was hitting our legs getting out of it.
Hit them on what? The running board?

after 7k miles driving mine....
1. Never been in the back seat I drive... kids don't mind it nor the adults that have ridden
2. Difficult to get out? If your disabled you may need a different type of vechile
3. What?????????? are you sliding out like a molten lava? if the step is there to get into it, maybe its there to get out as well....
4. Who care about the back seat people
5. F your neighbor

Nah. The steps suck. I could step in and out pretty easily if it weren't for the steps. They stick out just far enough to make it awkward and my calf hits. Actually using the step is an option, but if I step on it, I'm waaaaay too high to actually sit down easily. It's really just the wrong height. I'm 5'11" tall, the steps are made for people shorter than me I guess.

Surprising to me that you would make a $60k purchase without at minimum watching a few of the 1,000+ reviews on youtube to see the rear leg room. Rear passengers dont matter to me. I am driving. 🤣

So disappointed. I have the TRD Sport Premium with the Softex seats. While eating donut with sprinkles on it the other day, a sprinkle fell from the donut and landed on the seat and the sprinkle fits perfectly in the perforated hole in the Softek seat. Its wedged in there and isn't coming out anytime soon as far as I can tell. Toyota dropped the ball on the hole size in my opinion. Slightly smaller and the sprinkle would have been easily cleaned from the seat. arrrhggghhh.

Here's a disappointment, when the rear seats are folded up you don't have access to your power outlets in the rear seat area.
