Although they may appear pointless, integrated shock absorbers are actually a good idea.
After vast releases and mysteries, the 2024 Toyota Tacoma has at long last shown up. A few trim levels will be offered, and, in view of initial feelings, the TRD Genius is the one to have. This rough, Baja-enlivened model looks cool as well as having a few extraordinary highlights, for example, the IsoDynamic Execution Seats.
What are IsoDynamic Execution Seats, you inquire? Indeed, Toyota says these complex roosts give their inhabitants improved solace while wandering rough terrain and crossing unforgiving territory. An air-over-oil shock absorber system allows the seats to move simultaneously vertically and laterally.
According to the Japanese automaker, this keeps the head and neck in line with the spine and softens the impact on passengers.
The IsoDynamic Performance Seat is a very well-thought-out concept, despite the fact that it seems a little gimmicky. This setup should be more accommodating than other trucks, which could be a selling point in and of itself for enthusiasts who suffer from back problems or other health issues related to them.
The damping is "tunable based on body mass," and Toyota claims that levers located at the rear of the seats can disable the air-over-oil shock absorbers. The maker noticed this novel component is patent-pending and desires to further develop the solace levels of the inhabitants with this arrangement.
It not only has improved comfort, but it also looks amazing. The IsoDynamic shocks are paired with red leather upholstery and a finish with the appearance of carbon fiber. It almost appears as though the seatbacks are holding a parachute or jetpack. This feature will only be available on the TRD Pro model for the time being.
Maybe, soon, Toyota will offer it on the Trailhunter trim level, a model pointed toward overlanding devotees.
As of late, CarBuzz found another patent that shows Honda is dealing with a comparative venture, but not even close as wild. With seat-mounted shock absorbers absorbing tremors caused by bumps and road imperfections, the domestic rival of Toyota appears to place a greater emphasis on safety and on-road comfort.
By absorbing some of the intense energy and forces experienced in a collision, this setup could also be utilized to safeguard occupants during a collision.
This technology may be introduced by Honda on the Honda Ridgeline, which was last updated in 2020 and desperately needs to be updated, especially with the new Tacoma coming out.
