    While watching the TFL review video, the steering wheel was the only thing I thought might be nice to have. In looking at the pics, I'm not so sure on that. I like the old school toyota branding on it that's for sure. And the leather looks comfy. Wonder if it's interchangable..

    What are your thoughts on it?

    Not a fan. It looks like a face with its jaw dropped.

    Looks like it has all the right buttons. You’d just have to double check the resistances since I believe the steering wheel uses very few wires to communicate with the infotainment and head unit. There was a guy from overseas selling kits to adapt almost any Toyota steering wheel to some models of Toyota BOF vehicles. Can’t remember the name of the company but it should be possible

    If it's anything like a steering wheel swap I did on a VW once, that involved a new clockspring, steering wheel to clockspring harness and a different steering wheel control module that then need to be re-programmed to fit my car. Would I do it again? Probably not but it was a learning experience.

    Other than the mouth I will never not see it's just a normal wheel to me.

    My girlfriend would prefer having a spot at six o'clock to stick her hand in that the 5th gen currently has but her three-spoke Honda and my previous Kia both lack it. Doesn't seem like there's enough space there in this case.

    I like the steering wheel in the 5th gen 4Rs. This is fine, but doesn't impress me.

    I know this is totally unfair because it’s a fine looking, normal steering wheel.




    But head on….

    :D



    I’d worry more about the dimmability of all of the instrument display, since it’s all LCD panel. On some LCD screens, they can be too bright even when turned all the way down (due to the baseline panel backlighting).
