Ok so everyone got my curiosity going and I decided to go build mine - MSRP is $12340 higher than what it was in fall of 2020.
BUT that's not what i'm creating this post about - I notice that the factory leather option DOES NOT MENTION LEATHER. It says "premium McKinley Trimmed seats". Now i'm not familiar with this "McKinley" but it almost certainly doesn't matter, EVERY SINGLE TIME i've seen the "leather" option drop the word "leather" on any given vehicle, it was because the new material was not actually leather. Toyota has done this very recently and all the luxury brands started doing it for their base models something like a decade ago. They all have creative names that evoke high-end leather feel, but do not actually say leather, because they're not actually leather.
