No heated seats?

I went back looking at the OR influencer videos to look into the suspension and two of them mentioned heated seats in the TRD OR are part of the base setup. (Geese and straight pipes? I think) so I will remember build guide over website.

 

I'm thinking TRD comes with heated seats STOCK:



from this article: https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/2024-toyota-tacoma-trd-sport-interior-review/

statements backing up my thoughts:

"..The truck we borrowed was upholstered in cloth seats and black plastic, and as we observed in our First Test review , it's an interior that welcomes you to live your life in it. ..."

unless those are stock photos reused from another shoot.

 

Pre-production truck and also notice the auto start stop is missing. At this point who knows...

 

DAMMIT JB... I had my hopes up. lol

I wanna see them start SHIPPING the damn trucks already.

 

Calm down and get you another liter of cola! They are shipping...at least one is. If I were a betting man...and I am...I think you will see the real info is that you have a couple of options. Heated seats, heated seats with audio upgrade, Upgrade package, or Premium package. Any one of those 4 combos will get the heated seats, but will not be standard. But here is the kicker....finding a model that is not loaded to the gills from the start will already be challenging.

So using VA and TRD OR as an example on current allocations....everyone has heated seats either added as a stand alone option, with the media package, or an upgrade package. I may be wrong about loaded to the gills as I am not seeing any premium packages but loos like that all have the audio/media upgrade:

I went with an OR with the Upgrade package and as few of the shiny unavoidable add-ons as possible. I found most of the dealers with fewer farkles were in PA (and none of the dealers were putting dealer markups on the trucks WIN!) , so I focused my searches at the 500 range and then went with Bronze Oxide and TRD trims.

the website is garbage for the minutiae data and the dealers don't get much more than that, so I'll wait. current build date is 2/6 and I'll be pacing

 

well then I'm good, cuz I definitely did not go lower than the TRD Upgrade package.

 

No matter how you look at it Toyota fucked up

 

i don't get heated seats.... sez guy living in a polar vortex

 

There isn't much on power/manual/folding mirrors too.
