    Damn, Toyota....give us Power seat on a $30k+ truck, at least a driver power seat if you are too cheap.......

    Neither TRD or Limited model has power driver seat.

    I agree, I despised the graphite (gray) colored cloth interior and trim panels. Didn't understand why black was never an optional interior color.

    Are the seats in the limited height adjustable? Your picture doesn't show.

    I love the brown and black interior, although I wish they had the redwood interior from the 4runner.

    I was very surprised by that too. I understand not offering it in the SR or maybe SR5 models, but not offering it for the TRD or Limited models seems incredibly cheap. Not a deal breaker for me by itself, but it certainly doesn't help sell me on the Tacoma.

    In for the excuses as to why power seating is not required in a new, upgraded interior and why those who mention lack of power seating are just a bunch of whiners.

    Pretty sure the 1st gen Limited DC Tundra had power seats.

    In for the "if it aint broke dont fix it" and "I dont need power seats so I dont care" responses.

    It's just another cut corner.

    Power seats are for lazy ass people.

    1. how hard is it to pull a level and adjust your seat?
    2. All those little motors are going to wear out sometime, then your seat can't be adjusted.

    To be honest, I don't like power seats.

    But at least have it as an option.

    I'm with ya, they are incredibly slow when having to move as well. Maybe it is coming from a GTO that had the worlds slowest seat motor that turned me off from them?

    Ditto with power folding mirrors, seen those break plenty of times getting bumped...

    Power seats are not a deal breaker but I agree that it should have been an option especially with the new Colorado offering power seats in the LT and ZR trim packages.
    Maybe for 2017 they will get it.

    Power memory seats are nice, its nice to have your seat slide back when you turn off the truck, allowing more room to get in and out. Just another thing toyota did to try to upsell you into a tundra.

    Everything should be an option in my opinion. Just charge the customer for it, if they want the features they should be available in the higher trim models.

    As predicted, someone came in with the token response defending Toyota's decision and insulting the person questioning it. I prefer power seats and in no way am I a lazy person. Nice blanket statement, though.

    And yes, motors do eventually wear out, but every car I've had with power seats has had zero issues with them, and one had 150k miles and was 12 years old. I suppose the same argument could be made for power windows? I recall people claiming those were just for lazy people as well when they first came out.
