    I can't find a limited to see in person, what material is the brown section on the door, is it leather , rubber, plastic?

    Seems all the trim levels use different material for that section and I'm torn on the brown leather what's holding me back from a limited is finding out what that is made of, if rubber then I'd get a sport and have leather added at the dealer

    door panels are almost never real leather even the aftermarket kits since leather shrinks and peels off door panels... but up close it looks like real leather on the limited. The color is gross tho IMO.

    I hear ya, I was planning on buying the sport and doing black leather but it's gonna end up costing me much more to do a sport....gonna do the limited where the tech package is standard, I really like the wheels on the limited and hate them on the sport, so that saves me from the urge to change rims on the sport, and only the limited has home link which is nice,

    Doing the deal now truck will be here next week paying Msrp they're not budging on price

    It's the fake Toyota "leather" they use for their seats. It has a trademarked name but is the same stuff they use in the Rav4 and other models.
