Softtex seat material in the 2014 Tacomas?

[BeachBumGal]

Have any of you seen and felt the softtex seat material in the 2014 Tacomas? I am curious as to how they compare to the 2013, 2012, and 2011 Tacomas. How are they beneficial?

This sounds nice - I would like to know more on this option as well.

The softtex material feels like leather but is more economical. From what I understand, the softtex material is also not animal based which is a plus.

Here is some info on this cloth versus leather:

What is it made out of? Why is it softer?

So far all I can find out about it is that it is a registered trademark. It is considered an imitation leather product. Not sure if Toyota dealer will disclose this information or not?
