    I cannot for the life of me figure out how to fold the rear seats forward to access the space behind them. Do these seats fold down? Thanks everyone!

    No but seriously, there are fabric tabs on the double cab model. You just pull those, but be sure to remove the headrests first

    Pull up on this, then the seat will pivot forward.

    And in case you don’t already know, you can stow the headrests on the back of the raised seat bottoms.

    And... you have to raise the seat bottoms before the backs will fold forward any appreciable amount.

    And.... if you forget which way to put the headrests back in and they face the wrong way, they get stuck. :anonymous:

    Reviving an old post but I swear my head rests don’t fit in the backs of the seat bottoms. Any trick to that?

    You may have to close or spread open the bars slightly, but they do fit.

    Don't try too hard to spread them apart. This can backfire on you and cause them to be harder to get apart in the future. Take your time and be a gentleman.

    None yet, chomping at the bit for the first one.
    Okay, that's dope.

    Also, the headrests can go in backwards. I reinstalled one of the headrests backwards and could not figure out why it was angled down for the longest time. I had a colleague ride in the back with the forward leaning headrest, he didn't say anything.
