Preferred seats

Hey guys, just wondering what everyone prefers for seats? I'm looking at trading my lariat leather for some 02ish cloth seats. They're the grey, not tan. Just starting to wonder about resale value and if it will hurt it having gray cloth in a truck with the rest being the tan...

If you are even considering resale why are you changing seats?

Good luck selling it now. Missed boat because of the Build Back Broker blunder.

I have cloth seats in my truck and don't stick to them half as bad as with leather seats in hot weather.

Any seat with an actual, adjustable headrest would be preferred.

Well it's not 100% I will be selling it. The newer cloth seats have much better bolstering in them than the earlier leather I have.

I think it's about location also. I messaged you a week or so ago about your truck for sale....

The cloth has better bolsters and not as schweaty. Lol

Yep, it bothers me always having a sweaty back. Sure I can put covers on, and probably will. Pretty much decided on that anyhow, as the leather isnt in bad condition. I figure it's not worth mismatching the truck at this point.

I have a Lariat as well, seams were coming apart. I ordered covers from Seat Covers Unlimited, made in US, fit good, and add a little extra cushion. Not a bad option.

My 02 has the gray cloth seats and no matter what vehicle I drive the Ford is always the most comfortable for long trips. I did have custom seat covers installed on them years ago to preserve them. You can get custom seat covers in your interior color that fit so well you can't tell they are covers, that's what I did.
