A Planted Technology seat bracket for the Toyota RAV4, fourth generation on the XA40 chassis, 2013 to 2018. Part number SB419.
The third generation takes SB421.
This is where the RAV4 stopped being interesting off road
Worth saying plainly. The XA40 dropped the side hinged tailgate and the external spare wheel and moved firmly towards being a road car. The third generation still had a following among people who took them green laning; this one largely does not.
So the realistic reason to fit a shell here is comfort and support on long drives, or replacing a collapsed original in a high mileage car.
Which means buy accordingly
Ask us about padded options or a reclining seat rather than a fixed racing bucket. A hard shell in a family SUV doing motorway miles is a decision you regret quickly.
If we have that wrong and you are building one for something specific, tell us and we will point you elsewhere.
Side airbags and occupancy sensing throughout. Tell us the specification.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Lexus Planted Technology Frames Updated For 2026, and Customer Car: Subaru Impreza With Corbeau RRS Seats and Planted Technology Brackets. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is made for the Toyota RAV4. Chassis code and years matter more than the badge, as floor pans change between generations, so if your car sits near a changeover year, send us the registration and we will confirm before you order.
Which seats does it take?
Check the bolt pattern in the specification against your seat. The Compatible seats tab above lists what bolts straight on. If your seat is not listed, tell us what you run and we will confirm the fit.
Do I keep fore-and-aft adjustment?
Only with a sliding runner between the frame and the seat, which is a separate part on Planted frames. If more than one person drives the car, budget for the runner. Our guide to sliding runners explains the options and widths.
Is this for the driver or passenger side?
Both sides are available on this listing, pick driver or passenger side at the point of order (sides listed are for right-hand-drive cars). Left-hand-drive car? Ask us, as the sides swap over and availability varies by model.
