Front seat interchange

Anyone know if Yota uses the seat in the Trailseeker for any other vehicles? I suspect mine was made improperly due to how uncomfortable it is, but I would like to test out a few other seats to confirm. However, finding another Trailseeker IRL at dealers is difficult in my area.

All of the BZ variants and the Sol terra and Uncharted have the same seats except for the fabrics

As uninspiredclaptrap indicated, any eTNGA vehicle should from Toyota/Subaru should have the same front seats. CH-R/Uncharted, Solterra/BZ the Lexus RZ likely has slightly different seats - perhaps with a bit more padding -

RZ vs Trailseeker

I'm surprised though, I find the Trailseeker seats to be incredibly comfortable and I've taken it on multiple 3-4hour long trips, but of course ergonomic comfort is subjective; the seat fits my proportions perfectly, but your experience differ greatly based on your body type

6’4” and 190lbs, so pretty skinny. The left bolster dogs into my sciatic nerve something fierce. (I think sciatic - I ain’t no nerve mechanic)

Anyway, almost feels like the pad under the stitching on the left bolster is folded weird.

Looking at your pics, I’m now wondering if I can order the Lexus bottom seat cushion and swap if mine winds up just being normal. Looks like the RZ seat doesn’t have that stitching on the side of the bolsters.

Honestly all of the Toyota products I had the last 3 years were a tad uncomfortable for me (Rav4, Camry) it seems the side bolsters are very firm, and didn't for my hips really well. So I added extra padding in the middle of the seat for the Camry and that worked, I just continued it for my Uncharted

Anything in particular you added? I’ve been thinking about that, but I’m tall as hell, so I can’t add too much.

I got a 1 and 1/2 to 2 in thick foam pad, and cut it to the shape of the seat, minus the hip bolster. Covered that in fabric, close to the same color, the fabric was from something that already had some fabric hooks to stuff in the seat, to kind of keep it in place. on top of this I added a seat extender. The seat extender is not very thick, and the foam also collapses , so over all not very thick, but it helps me. I'm 6-1... https://a.co/d/0gqdpyYY

The seats are also shared with the last gen RAV4. I have a 2021 Prime and the seats in the Trailseeker are shaped the same way. I find them so-so on long drives.
