    Before you guys go bashing me... I am a virtual assistant who is sourcing parts for a client, though I do own a 1999 Toyota Tacoma SR5 4WD TRD Offroad, so I have some brand loyalty here in finding a solution for my client.

    I have been looking all over and can't find anybody that sells OEM leather seats for a 2019 Toyota Tacoma Quad cab. Talked to the parts department manager at my dealership and he's not even sure they can do it, since they normally outsourced it on older models and he wasn't very forthcoming with any information about who this outsourced entity is, no matter how sugary sweet I tried to talk. He did look up the parts for a Limited with leather seats but didn't find any in the system. However, he found cloth seats that start at $600 per seating unit plus labor to install. So, that gives me a price point on where to expect to start.

    Do you guys have any suggestions on where to look for aftermarket OEM leather seats?
    My other thought was to check salvage yards but the dealer couldn't tell me when or if the seat mounts would line up. Does anybody have any ideas if the mounting and bolt placement are the same on the 2019 as it is for the previous couple of years?

    Thanks for you help.

    Your client must have tons of money to burn, because replacing the seats is just flat out ridiculous...

    Katzkin, Clazzio, etc. will accomplish the objective for far cheaper and easier, and will look OEM (if not better)...plenty here have done just that.

    Katzkin you remove the seats covers and replace, Clazzios slip over and are covers. Clazzios are more popular due to the fact most people can install them. Katzkin will look more OEM and feel better but require a shop install. $$$
