Just wondering if anyone has done a swap of a 2021 GX 460 driver seat with a LX 570 driver seat. The GX seats so uncomfortable for me. I've tried installing jackers and tried to adjust the seat in every way possible without any improvement. Long drives for me are a pain in my lower thighs because of no support.
If it wasn't for the dismal gas mileage of the LX, I would have upgraded already.. seems that might be my only choice unless someone has swapped the seats successfully from LX570 to Gx460. If someone has inside knowledge from a Lexus service standpoint if this is possible and what the part numbers would be to do this swap, it would be seriously appreciated.
Thank you for your time !!
 
I believe the LX/200 series seats have different mounting dimensions. If someone has both a GX and an LX/200 series they could measure the distance between the bolts to be sure.
 
I want to get a Scheel-mann XXL Vario for this reason. I am 6'5 with a 37" inseam and same issues, not enough femur support. I need seats with adjustable length.
 
I'm surprised the seatjackers didn't help. I'm 6'4", and am okay in the stock GX460 seats for 13+ hour drives. I also have a '13 RX 450h Luxury, with the extentable thigh support option. It really only goes out an extra inch or so. Even with that, my tailbone was done after about 6-7 hours in the seat. Seat risers in the front changed that, and I can go all day now. But I hear you, if it don't work, it don't work. Finding rigs to fit big guys is no joke. My best ones yet, Ford C-Max and for the short time I drove it, the Honda Element. Land Cruisers have always been marginal, and 4Runners are just not an option. Drove a friend's new GX 550, and it's' not materially different in terms of head and cockpit room.

The seatjackers improved the ergonomics but they don't completely fix the issue for me either.

They help in the 4Runner but then you hit your head on the ceiling.
