Especially a Double Cab, you've likely noticed how valuable every inch of space can be especially if you're into overlanding, off-roading, or just need more organized storage for gear. One of the most popular upgrades among Tacoma owners is a rear seat delete. But why would you want to remove the rear seats from your Tacoma? Below we'll dive into
By removing the rear seat and installing a Goose-Gear Tacoma rear seat delete kit, you gain a flat platform perfect for storage, under seat storage, or mounting essential gear. Whether you go with the 40%, 60%, or full 100% seat delete, you can customize your build to match your lifestyle. Want to keep one or two seats for passengers? You still can. The modular design allows for flexibility without sacrificing functionality. Further, you can add drawers specifically made to go underneath if you want to keep your tools, kitchen utensils or even camera gear organized.
The platform creates a sturdy base for tying down important gear such as fridges, secondary batteries, recovery gear cases, or even that first aid kit. Or today is the day the dogs need to go to the vet, the seat delete creates a flat space to put the comfortable dog down while also securing your pups for their safety. With integrated tie-down points, you’ll never have to worry about your equipment shifting while you’re on the trails. We typically load out our Tacoma with a Dometic 55L Fridge, duffel bags, and smaller quick needed items.
The Double Cab Second Row Seat Delete systems are vehicle-specific and pre-assembled, meaning no cutting or trimming is necessary. They’re built to last the entire lifespan of your Tacoma and designed to work with the factory back wall—even if you have the factory subwoofer or upgraded JBL subwoofer.
Optional drawer systems open through the rear door and include top plates with access doors—perfect for reaching into the factory cubby under the seat without disassembling anything.
Whether you’re an overland enthusiast or just someone who wants better organization and utility, a Tacoma rear seat delete is a smart, practical upgrade. It's customizable, easy to install, and purpose-built to optimize your truck’s potential.

You all know that I enjoy driving around in my 4Runner with Ønwrd Supply's Headrest and 50/50 panel, but did you know they also offer a Bench panel that can attach to the back wall of these Tacoma's providing you with even more usable storage?
