F’n A, I love heated seats

eBay deal I saw another member partake in with success. They appear to be a solid build with good components. Process was especially easy for me since I have neoprene Coverking seat covers.

My motorcycle has heated grips and seat and its amazing if you need it

 

I agree with you there, heated wheel over seats. Work truck has remote start, it fires the heated seats and wheel up when I fire it up in the morning. I remember to click the seat button, and wheel button again because you can feel them get cold once they've turned off. (which is annoying, you start the truck remotely, then when you get in and press the start button the heated seats and wheel turn off and you have to turn them on again...)

 

Thank you.

 

Same here I have a GMC and it does the same thing, I could care about the seats but the wheel is huge, without it the wheel never gets warm on my 25 min drive to work!

 

I hear that. I work for a natural gas pipeline, sometimes we're out in the freezing cold for hours. (not that often, I'm an operator not a "pipeliner") but man, get back in and that wheel feels sooooo good on my hands.

 

I'm jumping on board the steering wheel train. My seats aren't that bad in the cold, but I can't touch the damn steering wheel for at least a half hour in the cold. I'd pay good money for a heated steering wheel.

 

Our Tahoe has heated steering wheel, and it is pretty cool.

 

Buy and higher level vehicle and they have it like a full size truck and upper trim level. It is nice but I never used the steering wheel heat as much as the seat heat and seat massagers lol

 

I start my truck up and drive off. Even if I’ve had it plugged in overnight, it takes a few minutes to get up to temperature. Seat heat keeps me comfortable until warm air starts coming out of the vents. I do a lot of road trips with my dogs too. Have to keep the cabin cool for them, which has me running seat heat whether it’s minus 30C or plus 30C. Wheel heat is fantastic as well. I thought it was kind of unnecessary and gimmicky until the first time I went hands on after a cold walk through and airport parking lot and sweeping the truck off and scraping the windows. I’ll never buy a new vehicle that doesn’t come equipped with both.

 

Not positive, but I think you have to get a Lexus to get that. Maybe a Land Cruiser or Sequoia?

 

My wife misses the heated steering wheel from her Highlander badly. We went to a 4 runner and it’s not available. I underestimated how key that feature would be.

 

Thankfully, no more Leather seats for me. I love my cloth seat heaters. Only wish they added a steering wheel heater too.

 

I want heated floors.

 

I have a workaround... see below

Gerbing has you covered

Gerbing has got you covered as well...

 

I always thought heated steering wheels were gimmicky until I had a rental car this winter that had one. No lie, it's pretty damn nice!

The 19 Highlander (Limited I believe) wheel has all the same buttons/controls as the Tacoma, so a swap could possibly work but the airbag assembly would need to be verified as being the same or similar between the two models (like bag size and force of deployment) and the clockspring/spiral cable is a different part number between the two models, probably more wires on the Highlander to get the electricity to the heated wheel. If the electrical connection can make it from the wheel to the column through the clockspring, the rest could be wired pretty easily. In my experience swapping wheels on a Subaru, that clockspring was the most complicated part. @caribe makaira would be the one with the schematics and might be able to determine if possible to make a swap. It'd be expensive though!

I heard the Toyota heated wheels are not heated all the way around, top and bottom areas have no heat.

 

I rigged up a pair of these socks and attach them to my trolling motor battery on my float tube. I’m toasty warm under my waders even at ice-off on the lake.

 

Heated Seats are one of my favorite features in my truck.

 

Heated feets > heated seats

That sounds amazing

 

Sheesh. What part of Canada? That is damn chilly.
