Toyota 4Runner Seat Belt Extender
Gain Reach in Your 4Runner Before the Trail Starts
Toyota has built the 4Runner since 1984 across six generations, and in Japan the same truck wears the Hilux Surf badge. It is a body on frame SUV made for boots, bulky jackets and long days away from the tarmac, yet the belt can still stop short of the buckle. This extender closes the gap in four lengths and three colours.

WHERE WE DELIVER
United Kingdom
Europe receives the Land Cruiser Prado instead of the 4Runner, so a British 4Runner is usually a right hand drive Hilux Surf or a private import. We hold stock in the UK, with free UK shipping and free UK returns.
United States
Home territory. The 4Runner has been on sale since 1984, and the fifth and sixth generations are made for North America. Stock is held in the US, with free US shipping and free US returns.
Everywhere Else
Japan (Hilux Surf, until 2009), Brazil and Argentina (Hilux SW4) and China (Jinhui and Zhongxing). We also fulfil orders from other countries, including Canada, Australia and Germany.
Trail note
A seat belt extender made for the Toyota 4Runner and the Hilux Surf. It adds 12cm, 23cm, 25cm or 36cm of belt. Click the metal tongue into your buckle, click your own belt into the extender, then tug to check. It covers all six generations, front and rear seats.
Choose Your Length and Colour
Rigid or Strap?
Rigid
- 12cm and 25cm
- Stands upright, easy to find by touch
- Black, grey or beige
- Best when the buckle is hard to see
Strap
- 23cm and 36cm
- Flexible webbing that follows your movement
- One standard colour
- Best when you need maximum reach
Fitted in Three Stops
Plug it into the truck
Push the extender's metal tongue into the 4Runner buckle until it clicks.
Clip your belt in
Slide your own belt tongue into the extender, just as you would a normal buckle.
Pull to prove it
Tug firmly. Both clicks should hold and the belt should lie flat over your hips and chest.
Where It Earns Its Place
Layers and gear
Hiking jackets, work coats and gear bags add bulk that a short belt never planned for.
Long days out
On a full day of driving, a belt that reaches without a twist keeps you comfortable and relaxed.
The back benches
On versions with a third row, the rear passengers are often the ones left stretching for a short strap.
Bigger frames, sore backs
When reaching behind the shoulder hurts, a longer belt turns a wince into a click.
Use it like this
- Lap belt low across your hips
- Shoulder belt across your chest
- Both clicks heard, then a tug
- Shortest length that works
- Webbing flat, never twisted
Never do this
- Rest the buckle on your stomach
- Use it between a child seat and the child
- Join two extenders together
- Fit it to a Land Cruiser Prado or Fortuner
Our Trail Promise
The Name Behind It
Seat Belts Extender was founded by Piotr Nartowski. We sell extenders for many cars and trucks, and this page is written for one family only, the Toyota 4Runner and its Hilux Surf cousins.
