I don't use mine and now I'm moving. Should I dump them or keep holding on to them? I will never use them, and I plan on keeping the vehicle forever.

Post them on here to sell. Took a month but I ended up selling mine. I wouldn’t spend money storing them though.
I’m actually shocked you were able to sell them. Mind me asking how much?
If you are considering re-selling in the future, not having the 3rd row seats would probably narrow down any potential buyers you'll have

If you keep them, no one will want them when you sell the truck. If you get rid of them, everyone will want them when you sell the truck.

On the way there
So I asked myself this question many times over the years. And I kept the 3rd row stored in the garage, taking up space, and getting in the way. Then one day I realized, they suck totally as seats, and adults can't use them anyway. They went in the dumpster and I never looked back. That was at least 10 years ago. In fact now I'm at the same place with second row seats!
If you keep your truck a long time (and I'm at 21 years) by the time you sell, it won't be worth anything anyway, so you won't sweat the seats that you tossed out.

Plans change, can’t hurt to hold them if you have space. Mine rest under a bed in a spare bedroom, out of sight, out of mind.

I had the same situation with my 80 series. I dumped them and never looked back. I'm inclined to do the same here.
Yes. See this thread.
2nd row removal and SRS fix
After removing my 3rd and 2nd row seats in my 2016 LC, The SRS warning light lit up. Here is what you need to turn it off again. Essentially you must trick the SRS ECU into thinking the side impact airbag in the seat is still present. To do so you must put a 2.2ohnm 2watt flame proof resistor in...

Keep 'em...
5 years from now some poor buyer of a used HE edition will want to add a third row to his HE for his kids...
He will probably want a cool box in the arm rest too...
and be bitchin' about storing a big useless roof basket that precludes his wife from parking in the Nordstrom's garage....
The grass is always greener on the other side of the septic tank...
1st world problems...
Peace.

My brother and I both recently sold our 100s and most of those shopping wanted the 3rd row seats, which sent him searching for his, which he eventually found in our parents’ storage.
If you can spare the space, I’d store them. Better to have and not need, right?

Agree, 1st world problems. I have my 100 and 200 series third-row seats up high on my shelves. I also have the 100 middle seats out and placed on a furniture dolly so I can at least move them around easily. Those suckers are heavy!

Kept mine forever...
...Then got sick of looking at them and dumped them out...forever.
Between the two “forevers,” dumping them was by far the most satisfying.

Mine have been in the attic since 2012. Out of sight, out of mind.

I went the opposite way, I dumped the second row and kept the 3rd row. I now have all the utility space with the seats up and when I do need space the rear seats are perfect in a pinch!
Tons of legroom too. Best idea EVER!!
