2017 Sienna Limited Seat Removal & Install

The seat removal process for the Sienna Limited is a little different from the LE because the third row seats are operated through several switches in the rear.

Three years later and this is still a very well done demonstration of the folding seats. Too bad the 2nd row floor rails do not come out. I want to use the Sienna for camping. The rails will hurt my back. I am looking at the plain LE model. Thanks.

I plan to use a cot and use under cot for storage. I want to be able to replace seats at some point. On you tube I’ve seen a lot of configurations. Some very simple; some more permanent and elaborate.

@@lorihamlin3604 Hi, I agree. The bed in this video might be what you are looking for. I am convinced: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqevdn6Fl7iFkLs

[@lorihamlin3604]

@@H.pylori yes, that’s more like what I’m planning. I’m 70 and 5’2” so I don’t need to take up entire space with a bed and want something I can set up by myself, with the exception of taking out seats.

Very obvious Toyota never wanted anyone to use this van for anything other then hauling people, not loading it with boxes or whatever else. A complete removal of all the seats except the front 2 would provide amazing opportunities for anyone looking for hauling capabilities especially in winter climates having AWD..

[@meenam300zx]

There are three shortcomings with Toyota Sienna 1) Once you remove the second row seats, you can't remove the rails which by the way have a sharp tips. 2) It's a shame that you can't reverse the 2nd row seats 3) the 3rd row doesn't lean back flat to be used as bed like VW camper. My old 74 GM van used to turn flat so you could sleep there.

[@marditenak8793]

Wonder if the 2023 sienna has the same option, that's real nice option

[@jaenyc263]

Thanks for info but have another question. Can the captain seats be installed turned around meaning it’s facing the rear trunk ?

[@proudasiangirl576]

Since Omari didn't answer you...I will. In my opinion, you won't be able to reverse the seat based on the track or base. The seat has got to snap back in a certain way. There's a line (as a guide) that you have to match the seat and the base in order for the seat to be secured into the track. I don't believe that it's designed to be installed reverse.

[@user-ix5wr5vf1v]

Very good camera work lol

[@johnlacourse9598]

The middle seats aren't heavy? I guess that is a relative term. I've removed mine and they are very heavy, but so are the standard seats too. You must be a Superman to say they are not heavy. ALSO I do agree with the man. I just bought a 2014 Limited. New $41K, 6 years old $21K. IT IS AN AWESOME VAN. Even in 2014 you can get one that has the anti collision radar system. It even turns on and adjust the wipers depending on how hard it's raining. Blessings John 20:29

I just bought a 2020 Limited Premium. I hate the new redesign with the 2021 model.

[@kristi.kervin]

Just bought a 2021 yesterday and am figuring out how to completely remove the second and third row.

[@proudasiangirl576]

I don't believe that you can remove the 2nd row seat or at least that it's not designed or intended to be removed. However, it's not impossible as I've found a video on KZbin on how to remove the 2nd row. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGXGiop4nrmIrbs

[@kristi.kervin]

@@proudasiangirl576 I figured out how to do it. It was just a matter of finding the bolts.

[@pauliesev6]

Second row driver side seat headrest is installed backwards.

[@blairdavidson2654]

Slick editing!

[@suzannezivari9203]

Is it same for 2018?

[@sexy1980ish]

Excellent review Sir!!! Thank you 😊

[@oldkid6]

Having to remove the seats in the second row is bad enough, but then you're stuck with the rails in the way. With the Pacifica it's much cleaner and faster on both rows.

[@tontomon8731]

Yes those rails are a pain! I didn’t know that they don’t come out until AFTER I bought it. They can be removed but to reinstall them would likely compromise the integrity of the safety. Here is what I did to work around them. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmilaoyFZtCjnrc

[@boboutelama5748]

Mmmmh.... yes, you are stuck with rails that are there. But, with a Sienna, you are able to reach your destination and you have Toyota garages EVERYWHERE. For finding a Chrisler repair point, I must make around 200 miles. And you will need to have a good repair shop, the half-ass degree engineers of Fiat are bad, and this will tranlsate into the reliability of the car. Even if they didn't fucked up chrisler so much than Jeep, they still have their DNA in it.

[@proudasiangirl576]

Totally agreed!

[@ChrisMorrisW]

great video, thanks!

[@yenkodavi3573]

gona get one and live in it 🤔...

[@funnycomments6081]

Just tell the dealership to remove the back seats so you have a full room to sleep in anywhere. And make sure it's fully tinted

[@proudasiangirl576]

Thank you for this video. Any idea on how much the weight is for the 2nd row seats?

[@kimly1546]

Roughly 30 lbs

[@gabrielcornejo238]

The caravan with its StownGo is the only feature that beats toyota sienna

[@johnlacourse9598]

I rented a Caravan. Yes Stow and Go is convenient but for the long hall however IMO it is not a comfortable seat. There are trade offs with S & G.

[@syedjavedahmad9719]

Excellent, 👍👍. Thanks.

[@JosephCompnotta]

Great video, 1 ? What is the length in the back? I'm wanting to get one for camping and I'm 6-4, is there enough room? thanks

[@tontomon8731]

8’ in length, longer than your average full size pick up bed. here is what I am working on with mine. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmilaoyFZtCjnrc

@@tontomon8731 does that mean you can geta full 4x8 sheet laying flat?

Awesome!!!😊

[@tedmurdock]

After middle seats are removed, how do you remove the anchor rails???

[@proudasiangirl576]

You don't....you can't. It's not intended to be removed.

Muy cómoda wao

I like the leather color. Is that standard color?

[@proudasiangirl576]

It's ugly to me. It's called "chestnut" or your basic brown.

[@pedroelvinhernandez3022]

Eselente me gusta esa

[@jeffvalley67]

We have 2 Sienna that we use for business (a lot of stuff inside and we tow a trailer). That stupid rail for the 2nd row seats is bad, it's the worst part of how these vehicles are put together, I think I will make a plywood "floor" to fit over it so I can put a box on it and not get it torn up.

[@parnell2014]

Good video, but IMHO Toyota screwed the pooch by putting those damned rails in. Makes the car unusable for carrying anything unless you put heavy moving blankets over them to protect them and your fingers. . I have a 2020 Sienna and it's a nightmare for hauling anything,

[@michaelhartman9377]

2:35 MAGA Hat sighting. Nice work young man. 👍🏼🇺🇸🥇

[@BoopSnoot]

I like the stow-and-go from the Pacifica better, much easier than removing the seats. BTW why do 90% of black guys pronounce everything properly except for the two words "ask" and "button", its usually "ax" and "buh-n".

[@piggy310]

Lol🎉
