    I have a 2012 DCSB with leather seats. I bought the truck because it was the only one in the Southeast with a V6 and a 6-speed that any dealer in my area could find.
    I want to ditch the Leather and swap in some good aftermarket offroad suspension seats so that the truck is more dog and beach friendly. Stock replacement seats from the dealer are retarded expensive.
    So what should I ask from mine? They are brand new. Ideas? Guesses? They have the side airbags. I don't know if that is an issue. Worst case, I just go get seat covers.

    Damn man... I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to find someone local who has a TRD Off Road that would swap with you in a heartbeat! You could probably make some money in the deal as well.

    Yeah, I don't want stock seats though. I want some quality offroad buckets like Mastercraft or Corbeau. They have better cusioning and side support. From the looks of things they are a hell of a lot cheaper than the factory seats.

    Ooh... sorry, I missed the aftermarket part. I thought you were saying you wanted the Off Road seats :eek:

    As far as I know, leather is not a factory option so yours were either a dealer-installed option or put on by the previous owner if you bought it used. The leather upholstery kits for a double cab can run upwards of $700 and then you have to have them installed onto your seats. If you're selling seats already upholstered in leather with the air bags, they could be worth some money but you'd have to find the right buyer. Parts are work a couple grand total but someone will likely be buying them to replace their seats with leather, not because they need an entire new seat assembly. Are going to sell the complete set or just the fronts?

    i think you should ask $1000 and see what offers you get, cause I would think aftermarket leather costs about 1K and the new owner can even sell their old seats, another q is this for all the seats, or just the 2 bucket seats

    The leather in the truck was intalled as a distributer option by Southeast Toyota. So it came to the dealer like that. A guy ordered it with Leather, Tint and Borla exhaust. Then he didnt want it, so I got a decent deal on it. I wanted to sell both front seats and the back seat. I just have know idea what is a fair price. I think I should be able to get enough for them to cover some Mastercaft recliners @ about $550 each and a bench for the back. Just an idea though. Like I said, worst case I will just get good seat covers.
