Leather seat issues

The drivers seat on my 19 Tacoma isn't going back into place. My local Dealer says they aren't aware of any problems. Anyone else had problems?

 

You must have one heavy sack.

 

No, it's been this way for a while. I've owned other vehicles with leather, never had a issue.

 

Monster balls.

 

I think you just got a heavy sack

 

Have you gotten married since owning those other vehicles?

 

A common side effect of owning a Tacoma and being on TacomaWorld

But sorry OP, I don't have any useful/helpful info for you, just had to take that opportunity to crack some humor

 

It will go back with heat/cool cycles. Mine looks the same when I just get out.

 

That's normal from what I have seen with my seats (10k miles). Leather stretches.

 

Is this real life?

 

I put 23K miles on my Katzkin leather covers and they looked almost as new as the day they were installed. 10K miles on those? No offense, but that leather looks like crap.

 

While yes, leather stretches, that’s not normal in such a short time. I’ve always had leather, wether it was factory or katzkin, and I’ve never had stretch like that even after 100k miles. My 4Runner has ~47k miles on it and the leather looks like it’s brand new still.

 

Youre comparing leather from a company that literally only makes covers for seats to the "leather" in a vehicle from a company that makes 1,000,000 vehicles?

Of course Katzkin is better.

 

And your point is? That this kind of wear should be expected from Toyota because of how many vehicles they manufacture? Please. I've owned several vehicles with factory leather interiors and none of them aged like that, especially after only 10K miles of use.

 

I agree it looks like crap, but it is what it is. You aren't going to get high quality leather for a $2,060 option that also includes a bunch of other stuff. lol. And I'm 6 foot, 190 pounds...not like 300 pounds flopping down on it every day.

 

Normal, all 3 of my tech/prem packaged trucks did it.

 

Something to note though, and this isn’t excusing it as that stretch isn’t acceptable, but I don’t believe your center sections are actually leather. Looks like pleather.

 

Do you not have leather in your 2020? Its pleather for sure, most cars are these days, but looks normal to me after owning 3 with the premium package. My ex's 4runner did have what appeared to be real leather now that I think about it.

 

I see the problem. You don’t have the cooled seats.

 

No, I don’t like factory leather (from any mfg) in general so I’ll be adding katzkin soon.

Funny story about not having leather in this truck. My son (10yrs old) has never rode in a vehicle that doesn’t have leather. He was telling me the other day how much he loves the seats in my Tacoma because they don’t have to warm up. When I told him I’d be making them leather soon, he was pissed at me for the rest of the day
