  • Replace 120 GXL Seat

    Hey, Have just become the proud new owner of a 2005 120 GXL but have come across major issue in the first couple of weeks. I'm 6'7" with a buggered right knee. The Seat only has rear tilt and limited forward and backwards slide, this means I can't adjust the seat enough to support my knee. So after half an hour I am in total agony.

    Question 1: Does either the VX or Grande have seat tilt or similar?

    Question 2: How easy / feasible is it to swap in the front seat from a VX or Grande?

    Cheers

    The VX and Grande's seat is electric and has rear and front seat squab height adjustment.
    The power loom should be there in all model Prados so should be an easy swap.

      The 120 seat base is quite short as it is and offers very limited adjustment. At your height it would be completely inadequate. Unfortunately this will likely be the case with most car seats. It's going to cost but have you considered an aftermarket seat from Recaro or the like? They produce seats for taller drivers with longer bases and heaps of adjustments - you will be amazed at the difference.

        I think from memory ARB have a full range of recaro seats.
        If you have ever sat in one, they are incredible.
        Pricey, but you get what you pay for - and especially if you have any issues they can really help out!

            Thanks for your help guys, would rather not go down the Recaro root if i can help it, want to keep it cheap(ish) if possible.

              The other Recaro option is buy secondhand on ebay. There are usually quite a few on there.

              You will also need to buy or make a subframe for it. Bought with engineering sticker is the best option.
