I didn't know 4runners had heated leather seats. I wonder how much it would cost to put some in my 98. HEATED SEATS - Once you get them, you wonder how you lived without them.

2001-2004 Limiteds (US-spec) have heated leather seats as standard. No other 4Runner came with heated seats from the factory. It's possible that some were port-installed. You can put heated seats in and several people have. I was going to do this with my 2000 since those seats were cold in winter. I believe the Check Corporation sells heating elements and buttons. I know a few 3rd gen owners have put them in.

heated seats can be installed, I checked ebay but they're going for around $80 per seat(2pc.back and bottom) if you want descent ones. install shouldnt be hard.

Jason B has installed heated seats in his 4Runner.
Definately a must for cold places like here (luckly I don't have leather!)

Travis.....come on.....hehehe.....Utah is warm.

Come up here and I'll show you why heated seats were invented.
If I had leather my a$$ would stick to the seats in winter.
