Velour or Twill
Hi,
I have a 2010 FX4 with the black cloth sport seats, and I am looking to get some covers for them. I was wondering if the fabric on the FX4 is more of a velour type, or a twill type. I like the current fabric of the seats, and wanted to find a cover that matches as close as possible. (heck, I wish I could find out the exact type and buy it and have custom covers made
)

Heres the thing....if your going to keep it for 8-10 years you're just keeping the seats in good shape for the next guy??? Save the money you'd spend on seat covers and just figure you'll get 100-200 bucks less on trade in

Hey man, I have a 2010 FX4 with the sport cloth too... I posted some pics a while back. I got some custom seat covers. Try this link Car Seat Covers; Truck Seat Covers; Custom Automotive OEM Styles; Seat Heaters and Lumbar Support Systesm.
Hopefully that works. They are really high quality, but you pay for that quality. For front and rear I paid almost 600 bucks. But they are definately worth it IMO. Cheaper than re-upholstery later down the road. My posting is only a few pages back if you want to check out the pics, or you can view my gallery.

ditto on keeping them nice... I also got mine because they look great with the FX4 interior... The grey inlaid in black really goes with the dash trim...

If the material is anything like it was in the rangers it is pretty tough. I had a 97 ranger that I drove for 275,000 miles and both front seats looked almost as good as new when i sold it. Didn't have any stains on them and I didn't try and take care of them. I got in how ever i happened to be, dirty or clean.

yeah, I got the cool sport fabric... I also got the map pockets in the back of the front seats- cost an extra 30 per seat. They are machine washable, but I really hope they don't have to be cleaned for a long time... they were a real PITA to get on. They are so tight that it took my wife and I a good hour to put them on. But the website and included instructions were pretty good.

Is the inlay colour actually grey, because on their website they only show a cool sport silver (black with silver accent). I'm just wondering if that's what you got. I have the same black sport cloth interior in my 09 FX4 and I'm trying to decide if I want the solid black or black/silver covers. Thanks
