Toyota Tacoma front driver seat design causing back pain on right side on Toyota Tacoma

Problem overview

Some Toyota Tacoma owners report experiencing back pain on the right side due to the front driver seat design, particularly in the TRD Sport model, which may feel short and uncomfortable during longer rides. Additionally, issues like the "taco lean" can result in an uneven seating position, with the driver side sitting lower, further contributing to discomfort. While the seat design is generally comfortable, taller drivers may find the steering wheel position less than ideal, which can lead to additional strain and back pain. To alleviate these issues, owners are advised to adjust their seat for better alignment and support, use cushions or lumbar rolls for improved posture, and consult a professional if discomfort persists.
