    I bought some TRD seat covers about 2 months ago. Back then it was cool. Today in California it is pushing 100 degrees! Damn that rubber on those seat covers gets hot!...Anyone looking for used TRD seat covers?....I can see owning these in Alaska or Siberia, but damn what a waste of money! :eek:

    Not much. Toyota bed mat, Toyota step bars, tinted windows, Toyota seat covers, Toyota all-weather mats, quart of Wild Turkey in the glove box, KelTec PT3AT in the center console, backseat full of old speeding tickets
    I have the same seat covers on my '07 Prerunner SR5 DC. Only difference is mine say "TACOMA". They are noticeably warm but not so much that I would get rid of them. I have been through one Florida summer with em so far.

    $85 for those covers is a deal!

    Unfortunately, I don't have 85 dollars right now. I'd love to put them on my front seats.

    I thought Toyota changed the seat in 07. Like they made it bigger.

    I think you're right in that the seats were made a little wider in '07
