Have you installed any tiedowns behind the drivers and passenger seats?

[EricGoleta]

One complaint about the ORP with hybrid is a shortage of space and the poor design of the folding back seat. I can put a lot more stuff into my ORP if I leave the back seat open. I want to throw a cargo net over the stuff in the back seat to keep them from bouncing around too much when we're on 4WD roads. There are no factory tiedowns to clip to. Any have any suggestions on where to anchor D rings behind the seats on the floor?
Most important is does anyone know of a spots in that floor area I need to be careful drilling down to screw down to the floor.

i mean i just checked mine and i have 2 square tie downs behind the 2nd row seats in my hybird from the factory.

did you accidently cover them up or have a cargo mat that doesnt have the cutouts for them?

I looked under the Toyota factory rubber mats (another poor design) and I don't see any tiedowns. I have a 25 ORP Hybrid. I just Googled it and it says they aren't there. Looping some cord to hook with a D clip under the passenger seat rails is easy.

The drivers seat is more work. Look like the best approach is to remove one of the seat rail bolt and attach a D ring with a tab that has a hole.

Which rear bolt is easiest to remove? from Google:
The rear door-side (left) bolt is by far the easiest to work with. There is plenty of open space to spin a socket wrench, and because it sits right next to the door opening, you don't have to awkwardly lean over the center console or stretch your cargo net across the transmission tunnel.

What you will find when you look at the floor:
Pop off the plastic covers: Both rear mounting feet are hidden under snap-on plastic cosmetic trim covers. To access the bolts, grab the sides of the plastic covers and pull them straight backward toward the rear seats to slide them off the metal brackets.

The Bolt Type: Underneath, you will see a standard 14mm hex-head bolt with a captive washer threading straight down vertically into the floor pan.

Why don’t you fold the seats up and use carabiner in the 4 steel mounts and then the two by cargo door sides?

Yeah, I have a 2025 ORP Hybrid and I have two factory D Ring to use to strap stuff down just like the picture above.

I think he is asking about tie downs in backseat, not cargo area?

 

[EricGoleta]

Yes, I'll put a connection point under the drivers seat rail bolt. The passenger seat rail is easy to attach a cord to then use a D ring. Then I'll use cords to attach D rings to the child safety seat tie downs on the back of the rear seats. Then I will be able to have a cargo net go over everything I stacked on the rear passenger seats to keep stuff in place.

Has anyone just completely removed their back seats to get all of that space for cargo? Any troubles? I'm thinking about it for an upcoming road trip.

I've removed both rear seats for off roading cargo space, no issues....
