Possible to swap SR bench seat for bucket seat?

    I'm in the market for a '14-'18 Tundra. I don't have many requirements, but one thing I would really like is leather seats. If I can swap out an SR bench seat for a salvage bucket seat from a Limited or Platinum that would make my day as I don't really need all the other bells and whistles of the higher trims.

    I am coming from a 2001 Tacoma so I am not very familiar with Tundra's.

    Does the SR have all the necessary wiring harness already built in if I were to swap?

    Will a bucket seat fit in a SR if the center seat is still there?


    Any insight anyone has is appreciated!

    Too many, but not enough....
    It's not a real bench seat. The seats are the same as trucks with a center console. The center seat is separate. The physical leather seat will fit but not 100% about wiring.

    the wiring i don't really care about - it's the comfort - unless you cannot manually adjust

    I think the 2014 SR has wiring - but only to a point. I think 2015+ didn't have wiring for the SR, but you can double check that by just looking under the seat (no removal required)

    I say "to a point" because I was able to swap out my manual driver seat in my 2014 SR with an electric one from an SR5. My manual seat actually also had an empty plug head (no wires). However, I think the leather seats in higher trims have a memory function, and that would mean more wires which the SR wouldn't support.
