    I had a 2013 Tundra until September 27, 2018. I was backing my truck into my driveway, when I turned the switch off and walked approximately 25 feet away my wife said your truck is smoking, by the time the fire dept. arrived and put the fire out my pictures look a lot like Leah's. I had approximately 52,000 miles on the truck and absolutely no previous problems.

    ****Edited for political comment****

    Mines got aftermarket katSkinz heated seats that were installed prior to me purchasing truck. Whoever wired them tied the power supply into a wire under the dash. Both heat circuits powered by a single 18 gauge wire. I was driving one day and smelled burning plastic inside the cab. Fortunately I also noticed the lights on seat switches were flickering. Didn't take long to figure out what was going on. Could have ended badly.

    My 84 bronco caught on fire when i pulled up to work, turned out it was a bad fuel injector, it was only on fire for about 30 seconds as i grabbed our fire extinguisher.

    pics might help us zero in on the area where it started.
