Can I swap electric seats into a base SR5 with manual seats?

    I have a 2013 Rock Warrior with the basic SR5 manual cloth seats. I am wondering if the wiring is there under the carpet to enable me to swap in some electric heated seats from a Limited model. I would look myself but my Tundra is currently in the body shop. I was rear ended in a Home Depot parking lot by hit and run driver. I was inside picking up lumber and came out to find my bumper and hitch pushed in and up which also screwed up my tailgate.

    Should be able to if using donor seat from another Tundra.

    I have a Tundra Grade trim and was able to directly fit Limited powered seats from a Sequoia on driver side. Passenger side was not direct fit for wiring though. The wiring is in the floor under the carpet. Another Tundra seat should fit wiring. I’d still check before actually buying donor seats.

    I would disconnect battery before plugging in donor seat though. For some reason, my fuses kept blew when hooking up seat wiring.

    Yes they will bolt in. If you stay with 07-13 limited seats you have a much better chance of wiring being plug and play. Passenger side occupant detection ecu might be the hardest thing to wire in.

    Mine did not have the wiring for power seats unfortunately. My new seats are driver side power only, I added in a power wire to the factory body control module to power my seat and works like factory.

    If you buy 2014+ seats, seatbelts will be different fyi
