    Well said . Mine are from turning wrenches , welding and working construction for far too long . I've lost most of the skin off both hands several times from frostbite in this God forsaken State , still trying to heal up a few toes from the last job I worked late November . Had surgery today on the big toe , hopefully it can stay . In the past I would have laughed at heated steering wheels and such , but with age it all changes ....
    Just like the "stupid Snowbirds" that go to Florida in the winter from this area ....lol .

    Still not an option with the 2019 Tacomas or Tundra,s ??????
    Guess I am driving my 2010 Tacoma for another year .Its a deal breaker for me
    Hopefully 2020 trucks will have it
    Edit : another year gone by and Toyota still refuses to sell me a new truck in 2021 .
    Do I have to go to Dodge , Ford or GM who all have a heated steering wheel option for 8 years ?
    Even my wife,s Hyundai has a heated wheel . Its awesome going out to the car and the wheel is warm

    I’ll have to give that a try now that it’s getting colder. The stock wheel does get cold. May have to wait a bit for the engine to warm, but vents at 10 & 2 should work.

    ADDED: I tried the 10 & 2 o’clock positions with the vents. It sure does help. Thanks.

    Hmm . . . none as yet, that's why i'm here . . .
    Heated steering wheel yes it’s worth it from factory
    Trying to install where one does not exist is a bad idea
    The fact that you have to deal with the clock spring should be enough to put you off this idea

    I would love a heated steering wheel. I get poor circulation in my right hand only when it gets cold for some strange reason. But i aim the vents at the wheel and its ok but it doesn’t take the numbing away. When i had my gmc canyon for a year I thought about changing the clock spring out from the denali line for the heated wheel.to pricey. When i had my 2010 wrangler best heat ive ever had in a vehicle i was getting 180 degrees out if the vents I would melt my hands on them.
