Default A quick question about an option.

Ok so recently I bought a 2003 Durango SLT Plus with the 5.9 the paint color is malten red pearl, my question is all the research I've done says the Slt Plus should come with factory leather seats. Mine however has the cloth interior, is there a way the original owners could've wanted cloth seats and special ordered that instead?

Yes it is possible... the only way to tell for sure what it had from the factory is to get a build sheet from dodge. You can get one by contacting the dealer or requesting one at www.dodge.com/owners You will need your VIN # when doing so.

My SLT+ has cloth seats as well so you aren't alone.

Cloth is better than leather anyway, it doesn't burn you *** of in the summer and it doesn't freeze your *** off in the winter.

Leather cleans easier and I think it is more comfortable once the initial freezing/roasting period is over lol.

Now you can get air conditioned leather, can't get that with cloth yet.

OK I figured it was a simple solution I'll try those websites you guys posted, also cloth is better from the upper part of the country that I'm from leather just cracks in the winter monthes.
