Read forwards or backwards I'm the same

Remove my last two letters I sound like a single letter

Without my first two letters I'm trivial and sound like I'm an animal

Leave only my second and fourth letters and we both come first

What am I?

I have no Cs, but I love the sea

A nice little puzzle - did you come up with it or hear it from someone else? – Jonathan Allan 4 hours ago

@JonathanAllan I write all my riddles, but I have seen other anagrams before, so I came up with the riddle, but not the concept. – Jason_ 4 hours ago

Is it

Kayak

Read forwards or backwards I'm the same

It is a Palindrome

Remove my last two letters I sound like a single letter

Removing last a & k, it sounds like 'k'(kay)

Without my first two letters I'm trivial and sound like I'm an animal

Without first k & a, it is yak(animal)

Leave only my second and fourth letters and we both come first

Second and fourth letter, both are A,first letter of alphabet series (I did interpret it wrong. Thanks @JonathanAllan)

I have no Cs, but I love the sea

Sea Kayak
