    I’d done some digging since I wanted a front bench and this is the first of these I’ve seen a picture of: a leather 60/40 front bench seat. Anyone else here have one of these?

    It’s in a 2006 AC V6 SR5 available on CL in Texas.

    I suspect this is a re-cover. A good one, too, like done by a professional upholstery shop.

    I say that because the I'm fairly sure the color combo on the door with the matching light tan leather, with oak interior, was never offered.

    Right? Seatbelts are dark. That door panel threw me off too.

    Sequoia leather captains chairs are the easy way. But I made use of my leather bench today to haul kids. Even with no airbag. Wish someone made a one piece floor mat. Or a 60/40 one.

    That seat is ballin. Been thinking of tearing apart my fabric front bench to redo some foam. Might have to consider leather now too.

    Man, it’d be nice to have a lap and shoulder belt for the middle seat. But the half console is weak. Still I might trade if I had the option.

    I’ve got a nice, dang-near pristine pair of tan leather front buckets, but if I could get a matching leather bench I’d swap them in a heartbeat. It’s not our primary family vehicle but if I could fit 6 I’d be much happier. I may need to find me a bench and get it covered like Craigslist guy did….but yeah those weenie half consoles stink. My 2000 F-150 had a great folding center console. Anyway this upgrade is way down on the totem pole of issues for me!

    Photos of mine just for comparison purposes. Obviously color was not a clean match.

    So that’s a recovered cloth bench? Looks great.

    Yeah, was cloth. Don't love the color but, honestly, I think I'm trending Katzkin over Clazzio on the Tacoma cause it's so nice on the Tundra. But it's more work. So, hrmm...

    But no clazzio option for we first gen Tundras anyway so gotta do what you gotta do.
