I believe the fold down armrest was in the lariat packages for Crews.

Just need to get my a** in gear and get them put on. Happy hunting and good luck

you are so lucky, finding a set for a supercab isnt easy at this time, im talking to different leather companies but they all want 600 plus for basic leather,

hey Airborneracer, are you willing to sell that set you got?

Unless you park your truck in the cooler at the Budweiser plant, you are out of your ever lovin' mind for wanting black... Charcoal is hot enough...

Black is not that hot, I have a black on black 2004 F-150 and with the windows tinted the sunshade up, the the truck is fine to jump and start up the truck and turn the A/C on.

Any color is hot if you leave it out in the sun with no tint, no sun shade on the windshield.

Yeah I was lucky and the price was right. 600 clams is a bunch for basic leather. I made sure to really look them over when I got them to make sure they were for a SC and they do look like "new take offs". No pun intended .

Hmmm sell them....I dont know especially with them being harder to get now, at least OEM. I paid 300 bones for mine, I sell them for say 400 (a little profit) then get sellers remorse, go to buy another set, take out a home equity loan to be able to afford another set.

just a little caution. when you park, keep the truck facing away from the sun. otherwise, you'll get a rosy red butt and burnt thighs. It'll only take 1-2 times of the hot seat dance before you fear the leather

good luck.

My truck has gray cloth and it still gets hot with the windows cracked...and I too am in Texas. Whats another 4 or 5 degrees anyways?

I too am trying to get the Supercab covers, and they keep telling me to try back in a few weeks. One thing that might be a deal breaker for you is that the front covers are for bucket and not 40-20-40 bench. Or at least thats what the "highly qualified" teenager at newtakeoffs told me. I'm sure you could find the center one somewhere, but would probably pay enough extra for that to have just bought the competitors to begin with. Plus, they can be made in different colors and even better...perforated. (for the weenie yankees)

I'm not sure about you guys that are complaining about hot leather seats "burning your thighs" but I tend to wear shorts that cover my thighs. Stop wearing the daisy dukes and you will be just fine
