Looks like everybody with leather chimed in on this one, ive had mine for less than 2000 miles and dont weight no 300lbs.
but the drivers seat, dead center looks to be "stretching" way too much. ill be ticked if it ends up lookin like my couch!

I had the same problem when I first bought my truck. Ford replaced the leather with brand new leather seat covers for free. Since then, I clean and condition them regularly and am more carefull getting in and out and havn't had a problem since (I've put an additional 30K miles on the new leather)

Well, here she is. Looks much worse in person. Just being cautious as to what this will eventually lead too.

Mine had that same blue stains, from jeans I guess, but they also started cracking badly along the far left side of the drivers side seat.

Holy nasty leather! If you set a regular frequent cleaning and conditioning pattern they will last much longer and you will not have this premature wear.

Like I said, mine are cleaned/conditioned every two weeks. They still look like new.

That pic does look good. I test drove a used 04 F150 Larait abotu a month ago with 34K on the milage. The leather seats were horrable looking. Who ever had that truck before they got rid of it did not care for the leather in that truck, it was marked up, cracked up, you name it! I agree with the rest of the guys, I'm sure if you cleaned them regularly, the leather will last pretty long. I wish I had leather in my truck, I just have to deal with stains just from water a lone on the cloth! ahh! I try to clean the seats once a week, but holy cow, what a pain in the butt the cloth seats are with staining! I want leather
