I have a cheap cover from Walmart on it right now, I was looking at some sew on steering wheel covers on e-bay (I can get them 2 tone like the OEM is).
just wondering was the PO of your truck a smoker?

Yeah, the center consoles take a beating on this type leather, smoker or not. Here is the after pic of my console lid (still not prefect, but I am not afraid to touch it anymore):

The seats in this pic are untreated, so you can see what mine looked like before.
Good thing about this leather is it does not hold smoke smell like cloth, so no real smoke odor.

I have found when cleaning leather seats to get the oils and stuff off is to use scrubbing bubbles. I bought new leather to replace my old ripped ones. The place where I bought them at told me to clean the old leather seats with scrubbing bubbles and a brush. Brush it in and the wipe off with cloth. Then when it is all done use leather moisturizer on it. I got my new seat covers at seatshop.com

With the King Ranch (untill 2009? or so), it comes with castino leather (real untreated, uncoated saddle leather), and scrubing bubbles would destroy it.
Leather CPR is a product designed to clean and condition this type of leather.
