Tacoma steering wheel in Tundra?

i received and installed the steering wheel today. Very easy to install, took no more than 20 minutes. Love the leather and only $150. No brainer!

 

Looks awesome, shame on Toyota I wonder why they still use the other cheap urethane option in premium models. I guess SR5 and PRO should come with this steering wheel from factory.

 

It's really weird that they put the awesome red leather stitched leather in the PRO, but leave leather off the wheel. DUMB.

 

I've got a lot of buttons, can't find a Tacoma that has similar buttons.

 

You don't need a Tacoma steering wheel with the same buttons. You move over the airbag and controls from the Tundra steering wheel to the Tacoma steering wheel.

 

Ok.

 

My 18 tundra limited has a leather steering wheel.

 

I believe Limited and Platinum have leather wrapped wheels.

This cover is awesome, I like that better than the leather on my wheel.

 

yeah I might just go this route. thanks.

 

Still hunting for one on ebay.Few i found are like 300bux

 

I'm seeing the same thing. You can also look for Tundra wheels that came out of a Platinum or Limited.

 

i looked at tundras tacomas,sequoias all of them

 

The high price of a new wheel is making me reconsider the Amazon cover.

We sell them already done and ready to go. They also add a little more thickness to wheel to make it more comfortable. But across the 3 (Tacoma, Tundra, 4Runner) they are all the same exact wheel.

 

Those are REALLY nice, but also REALLY pricey.

 

True, but the price also includes a brand new OEM Toyota steering wheel and we have a local guy here who used to wrap wheels for Momo back in Italy. He hand does every single wheel. After I put one in my personal truck, it changed my whole prospective.

 

Got it today, pretty easy mod. Looks really nice.

 

That looks really good!

 

I know its gonna sound stupid but it even feels like your driving a different car for the first few days. Looks great, enjoy!

 

True but the Tacoma wheel looks better with the perforated leather....JMO

 

Yep totally different no more sticky hands and you feel more grip

 

Unless the Tacoma has Lane Departure and adaptive cruise control button slots I don't think it will work as a simple swap. The new 2019's (which is what it looks like he has) has all that safety crud on it and it makes for two additional buttons on the lower right arm of the steering wheel. The issue I've found is most of the steering wheels appear to be lacking the safety control buttons on the lower right arm.

Are these for the 2018 and earlier that do not have the safety sense related buttons on the steering wheel or are there some for the 2019 steering wheel layout?

 

It doesn't matter how many buttons are on the Tacoma steering wheel, I actually bought mine w/o any buttons or trim pieces. You pass that over from your tundra wheel. The only thing you need is the actual steering wheel, no trim pieces, no buttons, no screws, no plugs etc.

 

OK.. didn't realize that the silver parts were also just a housing that could be transferred over and that all wiring needed would be in place. May end up trying this myself as I do prefer a leather wrapped steering wheel but the price I got the SR5 at was to good to pass up, even though it didn't have some niceties that many want.
I tend to keep a vehicle for 15 years or so, so resale value is not really high on my list of requirements when I purchase something.

 

I tried the loncky leather wrap, it was way too cheap and ripped too easily for real leather.

I will have to try the taco steering wheel option later. Who am I going to bid against here? lol

 

Won't be me for a bit. My next hit is going to be the stabilizer bars (front/rear) and then bed rails. Momma keeps me on a short leash right now since "You got a new truck, what more do you want" is the refrain I hear frequently.

 

Lol . Dude I just got that same speech from the wife .

They just don't understand

In fact, she says "Why do you need to do that, you just bought a new truck, it's not like you got a used truck!" lol. I will paint my handles and do a few small mods only for a while... gotta stash my lunch money aside LOL

 

Can you give the details on the Tesla style HU,it looks pretty sharp.

A bit of a headache for some in terms of installation and configuration, getting things to work right, comes with no instructions. Help is in that thread and on Facebook.

No issues with mine, does big screen Waze, Spotify, plays vids for my kids, etc; HVAC, reverse cam, and steering controls work. Better sound quality than the factory HU. It’s basically an android tablet integrated with the truck. Connects to your existing radio harnesses, 1/2h-1h install. Playing with settings may take a few days like when you got an iPad for the very first time. Oh, and it does CarPlay with a dongle sold separately.
