    Hey all, currently in the market for this truck and wanted to know if the leather used in the steering wheel and anywhere else is real leather or Softex. I've tried emailing the Toyota website but it won't let me for some reason.

    Hey OP, I'm not sure if mines softex. It seems to feel pretty real. I just got out of driving a RAV4 for about 2 months as a loaner and that thing was chock full of softex. I absolutely HATED the way the steering wheel felt in my hands. Got back to my SR5 and it felt great. Definitely a convincing leather feel if its indeed fake.

    SR5 is Leather Wheel. Softex everything else. Believe a SR is Softex wheel as well.

    I Plan on having redline Goods do a couple boots for our SR5 to match the steering wheel leather.
