    SR wheel is NICE. Tactile, and narrow. Allows a nice wrap around of the phalanges.

    Full hides needed for luxury cars:

    Rolls Royce - 14
    Bentley Mulsanne - 18
    Range Rover Autobiography - 22
    Mercedes S-Class - 8
    Porsche 911 - 4

    I believe you can get vegan options in the Range Rover and Mercedes.

    Pretty much everything on the truck is just plain nice, or graduates to the 'exceptional' category when off road.
    ...that slightly over-boosted steering around town, did toyota not sync something up 110%? Nah, it's perfectly weighted for trails/sand. :fistbump:

    If you replace the leather parts with non leather, what are you going to do with the old leather parts? I get ordering optional packages to reduce the amount of leather, but for whatever you can’t reduce, isn’t it more environmentally unfriendly to replace?

    What I was trying to say was that they taste pretty good. Friends and family who are non-vegan are usually impressed by the taste, and even sometimes like it better.

    I don’t like that thickness in my hand. It’s too much.

    Some things I agree, others I just need to flush immediately and cut out the middle man.

    I don't think it's reasonable to kill them for food or leather, especially for humans, because there is lots of evidence from very respected sources that it is less healthy, environmentally harmful, and causes suffering to the animals. But I started a separate thread regarding this subject here for deeper discussion: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/vegan-animal-rights-thread.614748/

    Honestly I'm not exactly sure about that question. Still trying to figure it out. On the one hand it is true that replacing leather parts with vegan parts will generate extra waste. Also, you might be supporting indirectly the leather industry by purchasing these products even used, perhaps. Not exactly sure. Normally I would move to another product but really like the Tacoma.

    In my vocabulary that’s food scientists. But yes. As you wish.

    I’m gonna need some recipe’s.

    Btw- if you try to give us Moons over my hammy, we’ll know you’re exaggerating the term “chef.”
