Whoa, you live in GA and need a heated steering wheel?
(But seriously, if it’s that bad: https://www.sheepskinshop.com/products/sheepskin-wheel-cover)
If it is an option, it may be wired to accept the heated wheel. Find out, and if so, purchase one and replace.
I’ve never had one of those but love heated seats! Not for warmth as much as for back pain relief

you can buy baby powder for your back side at Walgreens...
https://www.toyota.com/tacoma/2021/features/interior/7594/7544/7582 Heated leather trimmed seats galore, but no mention of a heated steering wheel in any of the option packages.
If you know for sure that there is an option, I'd talk to the service department of your Toyota dealer to see if they can order the parts and perform the work, and reprogram the body computer to add the controls for a heated steering wheel. A new steering wheel at minimum will be required, and remember that a new wheel may also need a new air bag, which ain't cheap.
There are aftermarket heated steering wheel covers that plug into your cigarette lighter, but they look cheesy and will make your wheel thicker.
There's a gazillion on Amazon.
Peaceful slavery is great, amiright?
My 2015 Regal GS came with heated steering wheel as well as seats, etc. Yota just getting around to this? lulz Just messing.
Yeah, those tricky Tacoma salesmen, didn't tell you about the frozen, cold steering wheel...Oh, you knew before you bought it.
Hmmm.
Didn't your mother tell you not to stick your tongue on the cold, frozen steering wheel?
Interesting question.
You could buy an OEM wheel that is rigged to heat up, but is your Truck wired up to supply current to that heating element.
I would some of the auto wreckers/auto salvage yards.
Insurance companies would writeoff a water damaged Truck, or a Truck banged up from an accident. Those Trucks ought to have pristine steering wheels
I just bought a Tacoma in 2021 and looked into the same topic. The problem lies in the replacing of the steering wheel and air bag components which can be done at a dealership but is expensive. Best option for me was to get an auto ignition, and start truck about 20 minutes before you leave, problem solved.
I’m guessing you haven’t looked?
Tune your car radio to taxpayer-funded and corporate-funded NPR.
Take in the lisps and the neo-Marxism.
You’ll find the fist-clenching helps.
Can’t aim your dash vents at the steering wheel? Or is it one of those cars that will not let you put heat out the dash vents?
One guy I work with removed the steering wheel airbag and used its rotary sliding contacts for the steering wheel heater. He figured that the seat belt protected him well enough (and without rearranging his face).
Try this:
It would cost you a bundle due to the air bag, but the wiring should be there to connect the heater on a such-equipped steering wheel. I assume this because I was able to swap the rear view mirror in my Taco for one with a compass and the necessary wiring was already there.
Wouldn’t a heated steering wheel make your hands sweat?
