    I have a 2014 4runner trail. Can I add a few seats to make it a 7 passenger vehicle??

    I wouldn't. It's easy to bolt down a couple buckets seats and rig up some seat belt mounting points and call it good. The problem is when you get into a collision with the stoplight-running drunk driving light speed and both seats (and passengers) come unbolted and the seat belt mounting points rip out. You've now got 2 people with life-altering injuries and unable to pay their hospital bills. They...or their families...will sue you, they have no choice...and you performed the faulty install on non-NHTSA approved seats and belts. Even if you had Uncle Bill do the install, it's your vehicle.

    Google "Little Passenger Seats."

    Sorry to sound like a Debbie downer, but there are plenty of civil cases like that with people putting seats in the bed of older SXS's (like the Yamaha Rhino) and things go South in an accident.
