Leather vs Vinyl Seating
In the market for a Bronco, settled on Badlands trim. Undecided on if leather or vinyl is the way to go. Not to concerned about cleanup, how is you all experience with wear and comfort with the marine grade vinyl? Is the leather worth the extra cost?
Thanks for your input

The leather in my explorer isn't real impressive but it looks real good when it's freshly cleaned. The leather in my old '99 Taurus was no better.
Is the vehicle going to be a commuter or an off roader? For me, that would dictate my decision.

A friend has a 2024 Bronco Badlands Sasquatch with the all weather nylon seat covers. Those seats seem very comfortable, even on a three hour ride twice. The all weather nylon seat cover seems durable when checking them out, but I dont know about the long term use.

I think that's what I would get and based on my past experience, I'd wager that it'll wear better.

Wife just got a new Expedition, the XLT comes with 'ActiveX' seats. We actually thought it was leather til we looked at the build sheet and saw that it wasn't. It feels like it is though. Time will tell how well it holds up.

Thanks for the input. Was leaning toward leather as there are different grades of marine grade vinyl. From past experience owner boats some vinyl are very durable and comfortable, other plasticky and wear quickly.
Will give the marine grade vinyl another look, buying a bronco off the loft there are a lot more available with vinyl than leather.
