Thanks for the info.

I too tend to keep my vehicles for 10+ years. This is the first time I am actually selling a less than 2 year old truck to move up to the f250. My 16 year old SUV (not Ford) has leather and it has held up very well with no noticeable discoloration or cracks.

 

I decided on the Adobe leather interior. I will get used to the multitude of colors.
But the black interior is just all dark with little of any contrast.

Now I have to wait to hear if dealer has secured the vehicle transfer.

 

Echoing other comments, on my personal truck, a 2012 Lariat with black leather, the leather for both front seats still looks virtually like new. I do a preservative treatment once a year, realistically, and I do vacuum any dust or grit out of the seams whenever I vacuum the carpets (that's one of the most important parts to keeping the leather from getting trashed). But the leather is superbly durable. Looks better than a Mercedes, a Bimmer, a Volvo, and a Subaru we have. I'd have no hesitation getting the Lariat black leather, and in fact when comparing it to King Ranch leather from the same vintage, the black looks significantly better and untouched.
