    I want to put leather Toyota seats in my 2015 Sport. I don't want covers either. I would like to know if any other Toyota frame will fit i.e. Highlander. Preferably not only leather but more cushion and lumbar support also. Thanks!

    Don't like Katzkin ?

    I think I saw a group buy on here for them

    Had them on my Dodge Ram show truck a few years ago, they were awesome

    Just put Katzkins in mine. Bought for 500.00 on Ebay from a Katzkin distributer. They are not covers, they replace your fabric. Any Upholstery shop can install.

    Don't do leather and good thing you didn't get the factory leather available for the Tacoma for your 15.Heard its more of a pleather.I don't have Katzkins but plan on it.Heard from people i know who have them and people on the TW forum that the investment in the Katzkins are a no brainer!So worth it!Good luck Randy!Just trying to help!

    They were listed for a few weeks in the 2nd gen for sale and nobody bought them. And they are brand new to boot, they are half on my truck now. Nice yes, but still just a seat cover.

    I know they can come with leather but mine didn't. It was a salesman's demo and the price was right. It's not a huge deal I just thought I would keep an eye out for a totaled part out if there are seats that are interchangeable with a Tacoma. I really like the highlander leather seats.

    Just thought I would suggest an upholstery or seat recover shop. There are some in my town and most do good work. You could ask for an estimate and they could show examples of their work probably.

    I bet the seats from a Lexus GX470 would fit. Chassis is very similar to 4runner/Taco...

    They would need custom seat rails, custom power seat wiring, custom heated seat wiring and switches. Not worth it at all.

    I have the pleather Tacoma seats in my limited. Very nice IMO, super easy to clean which is a bit reason I got them. The cloth seats are horrible for staining

    :) TACOMA Denali addition. Just what the old man needs, that would be sweet if they were plug&play.

    pretty sure on the "Limited" Tacoma package, they offered a synthetic leather the factory refers to as "SofTex" ... you could always try to find a set of those ...

    Just adding another idea ...
