Hello
Anybody with Laramie leather trim/suede inserts please post pics and opinions..specing out a truck and dont like how cloth wears
so its either Vinyl or Laramie leather trim.Looking for comfort and durabilty.
Thanx
My Laramie came in last week...I have the charcol gray. I'm very happy as the leather seems to be durable and the suede insert looks great and is also a heavy grade material.
get the Laramie package WAY more luxurious looking than cloth and the heated seats are awesome in the winter.Quite abit more costly though. I got the H package and it is 5080.00 Canadian option price
I think it depends on how you intend to use your truck. For comfort and keeping my skinny butt in place, I like cloth--I've swapped out leather center-sections with cloth in my daily driver's seats.
If you are going to use your truck as a truck, vinyl is hard to beat for durability and cleanability, not to mention cheapest section replacement, if and when necessary. And, most domestic leathers cannot compare in the longrun...
I just ordered a Hemi 1500 ST with vinyl for these reasons (and rubber mats).
I've got an ST with cloth seats because if you have vinyl seats in oklahoma you might as well carry a burn kit in your glove box. I like the cloth...a little bit softer on the backside.
I have 2 tone leather along with suede seats in my Daytona. looks good just have to clan and condition them about every other mth. Though mine is only 2 wks old.
