These seats are engineered with dual air-over-oil shock absorbers that adeptly manage seat movement both vertically and laterally. They're tailored for occupant size and seating preferences, ensuring a ride that's as comfortable as it is personalized.
Earlier this year, Toyota lifted the veil on these performance seats, and now, SEMA attendees are getting a virtual taste of their capabilities without venturing into the wild. Mounted on a six-degree-of-freedom simulator, created by Toyota Connected North America (TCNA), the experience replicates a high-velocity off-road course. This setup is meticulously calibrated to mirror real-life data acquired from Toyota's rigorous seat testing in the Arizona proving grounds.

Eric Bursch, a design and innovation leader at TCNA, emphasized the merging of top-tier gaming technology with their R&D insights to showcase the IsoDynamic Performance Seat's potential in an entertaining yet informative way.
Allen Danklefsen, TCNA's technical executive producer, noted that the simulator serves an additional purpose: giving future 2024 Tacoma buyers a preview of the seats' comfort, especially for those who can't test them in an actual off-road scenario.
2024 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro
Toyota anticipates the release of the 2024 Tacoma TRD Pro in spring 2024. While it's currently unknown whether these IsoDynamic Performance seats will be a standard feature or an upscale add-on, their debut has certainly made an impression at SEMA.
