We looked at a 08 Toyota sienna yesterday.
In the back cargo area, there are these 2 metal anchors. I was thinking they were maybe to lock the back seats into place when stowed?
But, can they be used for ffing tethering?
The center and passenger side (3rd row) have ffing tether anchors, so one of these "anchors" would me in a decent spot for the driver side seat.

Those are cargo hooks, can be used with the Sienna cargo nets and as cargo tie downs - they can't be used as tethers.

Yep. It can not be used as a tether. The driver side 3rd row seat does not have a tether point.

It is a cargo anchor/ part of the stow function of the third row.

Your right - it looked like a cargo hook on my phone, lol!

Definitely not a tether

It drives me so nuts that there's no tether anchor for that position on that generation Siennas!



I don't think there is one even on the newest generation. I had read a theory it had to do with the gas tank or something like that.
