Seats/Interior - Wet and Sand

[ajkitebrder40]

I'm debating going back to a Toyota truck ('93 Pickup I4 was the last one), and I currently have a 2 door Bronco with vinyl seats/washout flooring. I've had Jeeps before that, I'm at the beach a ton surfing, kiteboarding, etc. The benefit to the truck is all the gear would be in the back, the downside is the interior/seats. I'm not trying to pay $9k to get Softex seats, I want either a PreRunner or base TRD Off Road.

So, my question is: how are the standard seats with respect to water and sand sticking, and secondly, is there a way to remove the carpet on the inside or does everyone just go with rubber mats?
