2002 SR5 Sport: Standard Bucket or Sport Bucket Seats?

[swampy_swimmer]

I have 2002 SR5 Sport Edition. It has leather seats, I want to buy one of those sheepskin covers for the colder months. And seller is asking me which seats does my car have.
I know it's silly, but can someone explain me the difference between the two?
I think I have standard seats, but Sport Edition model gets me thinking twice.
If you guys have the same car and know what seats are those please let me know. Thanks.

I'm no expert as mine are Leather/power but, I thought the only difference between sport and bucket was the power vs manual option.

I though Sport Edition ONLY came with cloth seats. Mine are cloth and powered, FWIW.

I have the 2002 Sport edition but I have the FAR better "Sport Edition, Sport Cloth seats" in it.
Didn't even think they came with leather.
Seats are about 10 years old and still look virtually brand new, not hot in the summer, not cold in the winter, you don't slide around in them at all when off roading.
This is what they look like, compare the sides "buckets" to yours see if they match. They are fairly tall and hold you in nicely.

Sport cloth seats are the best! But mine aren't powered

I am interested to see if the leather seats in the OP's sport are the same shape at least.

The "sport" seats were standard in the Sport/Sport Edition, but upgrading to leather was a dealer option.

the only power thing I have on my seat is the inflatable lumbar.
What I mean is I just don't know the difference between sport bucket shape and standard bucket shape.
I'll try to post picture of mine later on.

That's what I mean, I thought the shape was all the same and the only thing that changed was material and power. waiting to see if yours are different than the ones posted.

Sport seats are the most comfortable by far. Mine are in the condition pictured above - still look brand spanking new. I may have misspoke on the power though - I'll check and report back within the hour.

EDIT - my seats are just like those pictured above. NO POWER.

I think mine are the same configuration. Only leather. Are those standard bucket or Sport bucket seats?

You guys are nuts, the Limited leather seats are waaay more comfortable than the cloth Sport seats. My wife and I couldn't spend more than twenty minutes in the Sport seats without back pain.

My back hurts when my wife and I spend more than 20 minutes in those seats doing that also.......

If mine were leather I would rip them out and give them to you then.
I despise leather seats.
These seats are more comfortable than my wifes leather seats in her Lexus.
They are also 10 years old and cracking all around the edges and probably have about 1 more year in them before they completely fall apart.
Funny how different people feel things differently.

Both my wife and I think these sport cloth seats are way more comfortable, she makes some comment about it just about every time she gets in the truck.

I didn't chose leather since I found my car on craig. But I like it since it's better for fishing. Sometimes you can just jump in the car in your wet waders and drive down the beach. Cloth seats would be ruined after few seasons.

That must be why my wife's pregnant again.
