    Hello everyone!
    I'm looking at a 2012 Double Cab/long bed at a dealer here in New Jersey. It's from Canada and has leather seats. Was this an option in 2012?

    Tried doing an edmunds.com appraisal and leather is not an option to choose so I'm wondering if this was aftermarket.

    Did some searches here and saw many folks wanting to add leather to their Tacoma so I'm guessing this car had it added.

    Going to see car in person on Saturday.

    Thanks for any input.

    Unless its a limited which comes with softex, then it was added on.

    Thanks for the reply!

    It's not a limited, just a Sport.

    It also has heated seats.

    I found a 2012 Canadian Brochure and that wasn't an option, so I'm guess previous Canadian owner added the leather and heated seats.

    In Canada, leather was an option starting in 2009. It was typically called the "TRD Sport + Leather" or "limited + Leather" options. Mine has this option.

    They are OEM toyota, and i think toyota canada ordered them that way from the factory. I doubt they "port installed" the leather.

    The heated seats are aftermarket if they have a round switch. Usually by a dealer aftermarket company.

    Link to truck in question:

    http://www.olgermotors.com/2012_Toyota_Tacoma_Woodbridge_NJ_264218273.veh#

    I plan on taking a look at this Saturday. Edmunds has trade in about $16,981 and I know dealers always go below Edmunds.com. With leather maybe it's another 1000, so let's say $17,981 as per Edmunds. Dealear asking $24.9.

    If I could get it for $20k out the door I think I would buy it because if this was traded in or bought at auction, it probably went for 15-16k.

    First things first, see it, check it out, drive it...

    Thanks for the input guys!

    Those are aftermarket seat covers with heat pads.

    They are installed by/for toyota canada. The heated seat kit is definitely aftermarket.

    There's another 2012 I'm going to look at that has the same Toyota Radio. That one has the TRD Off Road package and this one above has the TRD Sport.

    Looks like a very nice, clean Tacoma. Reminds me of when I first got mine last year. I do miss the stock look sometimes. The deck/radio is an interesting design. My buddy has the same one and it has a lot more features than my 06 TRD Sport for sure. (USB, Auxillary, back up camera with has the screen on the mirror, etc)
