Just got done reading several negative comments about the leather seats in the Forum Interior Care. Anyway they realy worry me, did I make the wrong decision about the leather seats. Did Ford start using better leather for the SuperCrew, does anybody notice bad early wear on their leather seats? Please let me know if I need to change my order (again).

2X4, Lariat, 5.4L, Deep Wedgewood Blue and Gold, Moonroof, 6cd changer

 

I've had my Lariat with leather and with the captains chairs for a little over a month now. I've been very happy with the leather seats. I have two kids 9 and 7, and they give the back seats a workout every time they ket in and out. I havn't noticed any scuffing or wear at all.

The leather in my SCrew is different than what I had in my Expedition. However, I find the leater in the SCrew to be softer and more comfortable.

As for wear, too early to tell. The truck is 10 days old and has 1200 hundred miles on it.

The leather on the supercrew is called nudo
leather and is supposed to be the same as in
the Navigator. It should be better quality than the f150 supercab and the Expedition.

 

This past weekend I was able to prove to myself why leather is so great. I was unfortunately able to test the stain resistance of my (one month old) Lariat's leather when a good friend of mine spilled a quart of bloody mary mix on my back seat. I had a pile of it about an inch thick all over the leather and it even ran down the back onto the carpet under the seat. Using damp towels and spray carpet cleaner, it all came off without a trace left. If I had the cloth seats I may not still have my friend of 17 years!
