    In processpictures. Added seat heaters and replaced seat foam. I don’t have a final installation picture.

    Of course, opinions are subjective, but the Clazzios definitely do NOT look just as good to me. I can’t speak for their durability. I do wonder why you chose to add quotation marks to “covers”. The Clazzios are most definitely just seat covers.

    I only had my Katzkin in for a brief time before my truck was totaled but I really liked the fit and feel. Definitely made the seats more comfortable with a little added padding too. Fun fact: the airbags in the seat work well with Katzkin on. A7F9FDFE-8F0C-43BB-8827-42E155AFECF4.jpg8C9C64A4-41C5-4766-9044-0541617FD7DB.jpg

    I had Katzkin seat covers and front seat heaters put in my wife’s Silverado for $2500.00
    Was a great investment. Fit is great. Her seats are more comfortable than Silverados with factory leather.

    Hey sorry about your truck. I’ve been considering getting covers in saddle/tan, and I was wondering if you have any more pics. I was a little worried how it would go with the black/grey interior, but yours look sweet. Door inserts are a great ideal/complement.

    I've had 3 Katzkin sets installed

    All of them with heated and ventilated features.

    To be honest, I will not go that route in the future. Factory ventilated seats in newer Toyotas are still more potent.
    Rumor has it that 4th gen Tacoma will be more luxury oriented like the new Tundra and will have leather with ventilated seats option from factory, I will trade my 2022 for a 2027 model year when 4th gen Tacoma gets a mid cycle refresh and get the top of the line trim.

    I paid 800 and some change for mine a little over a year ago I did the install myself in 2 weekends I chose not to add heat. It is by far my favorite upgrade. I went to ebay then contacted the seller and after chatting with him he cut me a great deal. As a dealer he had to advertise one price but charged me a lot less. It was a complete custom order colors and piping.

    If you're looking for a shade of brown, I went a little darker. Mine are Coffee. Had the shift/ebrake boots, center console and steering wheel covered in the same Katzkin leather too. Didn't do the doors though. It was hard enough getting the other pieces finished. Took about a year getting them made and installed. Pita

    Sorry, I don't have any other pictures of the seats. I was overall really happy with the look. I went back and forth between this color and a darker brown. In some light it did look a little orange if I was being nitpicky.

    The dark brown looks great! When I had mine done the door panel material came with the seats (I just paid a little extra for the material) and the same company installed the seats and the door panels. But with your black door panels I think I would just leave them.

    Love the seats, just know the back seats will only be partially leather in the middle and not whole seat like the front, for 500 dollars 2 tone can not complain better than clazzio for sure

    Clazzios look great and are cost effective, but I'm sure the Katzkin leather is of better quality.....with Clazzios you can install an oem-looking heated seat switch vs. those auto-zone style ones the Katzkin installers seem to be using and installing in odd places.

    Aza steering wheel, was browsing thru Craigslist and saw it posted for 450 dollars. It retails for 1000 from the company. It was never installed, much better than the oem Sr plastic steering wheel

    This looks absolutely amazing. Reminds me of the interior the 2017 Toyota Tacoma Limited Trims came with. I believe some 2017’s Pro trim canes configured with too. I’m going to take this with me when I go and upgrade my clothes seats on my 2020 TRD Sport.

    Thanks for all the compliments. Yes was not cheap but I finally got it exactly the way I wanted. Since I'm keeping the truck it was worth it to me but still a major pita. Love my truck though and all the mods but especially the interior. Really hate the light grey they come with.
