Wondering what the cloth seats are like for long trip comfort. I'm not really a fan of leather (seats are mostly pleather anyway) and am thinking of getting an XLT trim in the next truck as that's the only way to avoid leather.

Typo in title: 2017 not 2107

 

What do you mean by pleather?
I'm not a big fan of leather either but I didn't like the light cloth.
So I ordered a Lariet with black leather.
Wife wanted heated seats and duel climate control.
Thanks

Just bought a 17 350 Lariat with Leather seats. Drove it home in 98 degree heat. With A/C cooled seats very comfortable. No sweating cheeks. lol

 

Mines not a '17, but my cloth seats are quite comfy. Holding up well too.

 

X2 ! I agree with chad.

 

There are a lot of personal opinions here - but I prefer cloth seats.

Leather is most often hotter in the summer and colder in the winter. And my dogs nails don't scratch/damage cloth like they do leather.

But I do love the looks and smell of leather. YMMV.

 

Pleather = plastic leather = fake leather. The seats are "leather seating surfaces" so if your butt/back doesn't touch it then it wasn't part of a cow.

I have the perforated seats in my Lariat now but I don't like the cooling function and never use it. Heated I use cause otherwise winter leather seats are like frozen rocks.

 

I expect it would be the same seats. My '11 with ~75k miles on it is showing wear on the outer topside of the leather seat. The seams are also wearing. In the past my leather seats have broken down and split in the vertical outer side of seat base from getting in and out (GM or Ford they are both non-leather in that part). My 97 K1500 had the most comfortable seats I've had in a truck, they were cloth.

 

I just put 3,200 miles on my F-250 in 7 days. No problem setting in the seat for hours at a time.

 

I have no issues with the seats. I'm psyched that I was able to get heated seats too with the premium package. That package makes it seem like a Lariat minus the leather.

 

I would second these guys. 2017 XLT cloth in the gray is great. I rented one for a few weeks, with lots of highway time (about 2k miles) and ranch use. The seats held up well, were comfortable, and didn't show dirt. If I buy a Ford, I'm almost certain it'll be an XLT Premium.

 

Thanks everyone for your views. Still truck shopping but I'll likely go with the cloth interior as I don't want a lot of stuff that ends up on the vehicle when you go Lariat and above.
