Katzkin Leather Seat Covers for Maverick

[notfast]

If you have the slightest amount of mechanical ability you can do the install yourself.

I beg to differ. I suggest anyone with little experience watch some YouTube videos and see if they think it's something they can tackle. I'd equate it to doing a DIY clear bra or window tint. Definitely not for first-timers that are prone to cursing and/or back problems.

Do they also replace the rear seats?

99% sure that's the case, especially for the ballpark of $1700. I think it'd be wise to shop around. Local upholstery shops (who will do the installation anyway) might be able to give you a nicer product and/or a lower cost.

Prices usually start around $1,700 for covers and install. Not sure what cover cost alone.

Well that lets me out $$$ and I,m the guy with manual mirrors and no cruse control and no power seats I LOVE IT !

It was $1100 for my F150 and it included the center armrest

They use very nice leather

I might change the seat covers on my Lariat to Katzkin, maybe

Hoping someone comes out with an arm rest cover

I am 100% in on this!

When PA went into Covid lockdown last year, I bought Katzkins from an online dealer and installed black leather in my F-150 to give me something to do. I watched a video on YouTube and followed it exactly.

It took me 6 hours on and left me with blisters on the tips of several fingers and both of my thumbs from snapping in the clips. Otherwise, not really hard, just time consuming.

The leather is top quality and extremely easy to clean. I tend to get muddy for work and don't want ugly seat covers.

Local installer gave me a price of $2,000 for my F-150. I bought the Katzkins from Touch-Ups Automotive for $539. I'll wait until they or eBay has them and do it myself.

The only thing I'll do differently is I'll do the front seats one day and then the next week, I'll do the back seat.

FYI, this is the video I watched...Kattzkin Installation

Good option for the cloth seats!

Nice, how much do they cost? And will these work with heated seats?

Any idea on cost.

On October 21st, I received a quote direct from Katzkin for the Saddleback edition seat covers.

Here is the quote I received:

Hello Howard, I am happy to help with any questions over email. This would be considered a custom design for any two row vehicle price would be $1,995+tax (includes installation and our 3 year warranty).​

They offered to find a local dealer for installation. I understand some dealers will discount a full interior job by $200. I did not confirm, but other online sources say that also includes covering the door soft arm rests and the center console soft arm rests.

I love this Saddleback Edition which would look good with a Maverick logo instead of the Ram in the photo. Maybe since they have a Maverick pattern available now, the pricing might come down since it would not necessarily be custom. Of course custom would have to be carefully defined.

Later I received an email that offered 18 month financing with 0% down and 0% interest rate. Unfortunately that offer expired on November 19. The non promotional APR range is 0 to 29.99%. Again not sure what qualifies to obtain the non-promotional 0% rate—most likely a very high credit rating.

I'm impressed with their willingness to answer my questions with non-pushy and helpful answers. You can ask questions at [email protected], or by calling (877) 811-8840.

I'd rather have these on an Alto Blue Lariet than a new set of wheels and tires for about the same amount of money.

Hopefully they offer the XL trim as an option in the future.

I've had many customers put it Katzkin leather, and I am considering replacing the ActiveX seats on my Lariat when it gets here. It's a high quality leather. In my opinion the quality of the leather is better than even in our Lariat F-150s. It's just nice.

What's your take on potentially voiding the warranty? When I did my F-150, it was just over 3 years old so it didn't matter.

I've heard conflicting opinions that since the side airbag has to be installed correctly, Katzkins void the factory warranty.

Anything that manipulates safety features can potentially void a warranty, what people dont understand is they have master contract forgers who know the law , write down these warranties to protect the issuer not the consumer, any time an issue becomes bothersome to ford, they can use the warranty and the customers signatures to protect themselves.

doubtful Katzkins will affect warranty on anything since all the Ford dealers in my area off it as an upgrade on lower trim levels
The shop that did my F150 seats (at the time) was doing 5+ trucks a day for the local dealers ( I used my dealership connection to get the dealer cost)

Worst case the warranty affected would be for the seat covering, not the internals so I'm not even sure what you would be worried about

I find it laughable how so many people are so concerned with their warranty being voided
If it bothers you so much you have 2 choices:
1. Dont change a thing, ever.
2. Buy a better made vehicle that is proven to not release problematic products.
I personally drive too many miles to be overly concerned with warranties, I just buy what I think will work well. I do my reseach

Now my wife is getting a Kia Telluride, so even though everyone I've talked to has good things to say, we are only going that route because she drives very few miles and we only need it to last for 5 years

Maybe if you did some actual research before posting, you'd have some sort of understanding of why so many people are worried about voiding their warranty by personally removing and reinstalling the side airbag in the seat.

Here is my attempt at a custom configuration. I have a Cactus XLT Lux hybrid on order (who knows when it will be built). I thought the perforated cement colored leather might work well with both the exterior and interior I've picked and keep seating surfaces a little cooler here in SoCal. Tangerine stitching to tie it together. Trying to not create a crazy mish-mash, and maybe pass for upscale factory. Thoughts?..
