SofTex or Leather interior?

Anyone that has Softex, how well does dog hair stick to it? Love leather, but it looks like few models will offer leather as an option. Currently have an SR5 premium.

Toyota's Softex is fantastic. I had the black Softex in my 2015 and 2017 4Runner TRD Pro's and currently have the new mineral color in my 24 Tacoma Trailhunter. It held up great on both Pro's and looked just as good as the day I bought them when they got traded in. I'm Looking forward to getting the new Pro in Mudbath with the black Softex.

You won't be disapppointed with SofTex. It doesn't collect much pet hair and is highly resistant against scratches from dog nails.

SofTex is also easier to clean and maintain than leather. Leather needs to be conditioned regularly to extend its longevity and prevent early cracking. SofTex can be cleaned with any alcohol-based upholstery / vinyl cleaners or conditioner solution. Just spray the seats, rub/scrub and wipe dry!

Apply a small amount of cleaning solution to a clean cloth, or spray onto the dirty areas of the vinyl seating and scrub gently, or until clean.

Here is another vote for SofTex from a Tacoma TRD Pro owner. It looks and feels great and will probably never crack or stain like leather can. My wife's Lexus also has SofTex seats and we love it.

I would definitely chose it over leather any day.

Another vote for Softex. I had leather in my '10 4Runner and it looked OK when I sold it at 4 years and 34k miles. My '16 4Runner with softex looked brand new when I sold it after 7 years and 71k miles (a bunch of those being me jumping in after a mountain bike ride, hike, whatever). I personally have no issues at all with modern synthetic leather.
