Will a Lariat Leather Steering Wheel fit in XLT
Looking to swap out the vinyl wheel with a leather wrapped one from a Lariat. I assume that this will be a direct swap but wanted to poll the audience to make sure I'm not overlooking anything. Thanks in advance.

It will most likely swap if it is not a heated wheel. There is probably a difference in the column between the heated and not heated steering wheel trucks..
There are some darned nice steering wheel wraps out there.. That would be the direction I would take - but it's your time and money...

Heated wheels are only on the Plats, and they are half wood. If you find one that is all leather, you won't have heat, so if heat was to be a problem due to the column, that will help you identify.

I may have worded my post poorly. It was suggested that the columns may be different in trucks with heated wheels, and therefore a wheel from a Platinum may not be compatible with what you are after. I was just pointing out that if you get an all leather wrapped wheel (assuming it is on a shelf instead of still sitting in a truck that you can identify), you will be fine. I understand you don't want heat and the logistics involved with trying to make heat work would likely be a problem anyway.
