Default 110 Back seats- Fold flatish for sleeping?

Hey there,
I'm close to getting ready to order a 110 and have a question I can't seem to figure out. Do the 2nd row seats fold down flat enough to sleep? I do lots of camping and if the weather is terrible, I like the option to get in the back of my vehicle for the night. My local dealer only has a 2020 and it seems marginal for sleeping. Although, I have seen pics of newer 110's where it looks like they lay pretty flat. Anyone have experience laying down back there or can make a judgement call on how miserable it looks? i.e. if the incline it too high?
I've had a few 4runners and Tundra's with camper shells and while I may only use it once a year, sleeping in the truck is a nice option to have available for the areas I visit.

Thanks in advance!

7 seater slightly angled (and hard to lock), 5 seater looks like flat.

Yes - in the two row (5/6 seat version) they fold completely flat. You just have to flip the back bench seats up first.

I don’t use it for sleeping (too short for me), but it makes for a really convenient load floor.

I have 3 row and they all lay flat but the middle row takes a lot of weight to press down and lock them down.

this is how it looks in 110 with 2/3 of second row folded as flat as it goes and 1/3 just folded. Not sure you mean by taking lot of weight and pressing and locking…

Here are some measurement photos from other threads. I just recently tired out a new mattress that’s 78” by 50”.

2 main things when you fully lay the 5 seater 110 rear seats flat. The seat portion that you pull up (to make the backs flat) end up creating a rise.

when you pull the front seats forward, 78” mattress fits fine. But where your head is a bit elevated. I’m 5’11” and it’s noticeable but livable.

50” wide does slightly curve near the wheel well / trunk door. But that’s fine too.

photos attached.

Pull front seats forward to make room for 78” long

Rise from the lower seats do create a slight bump

Mattress setup


Boot sizing

Used the dually long. Wide would be too wide. And length may not be enough.
