Cloth Seats for Lariat

[phillipl8]

I am pretty sure that I will not get the xl hybrid I ordered built this year. I am thinking of changing to a Lariat for next year. Is it an option to delete the Activex seats and get cloth seats? Is there an aftermarket option to remove and replace the seat covers?

I know the Activex seats are considered an upgrade, but I just prefer cloth.

I've not seen that as an option on the configurator. I feel the same as you, I prefer cloth seats for comfort. I used my Ford points to buy the Ford seat covers and put them over the Lariat seats. Works fine and doesn't hold the heat or the cold nearly as much as the ActiveX does.

Unless there are any surprises on Monday when the order sheets are released, seat covers may be your best cloth-like option for the Lariat. It's a bummer for those of us in Florida, especially since the vehicle doesn't offer cooled or vented seating options.

There’s custom fit cloth seat covers available, or you may be able to find after market bucket seats. For me, I always had cloth seats until I got my hybrid Lariat. I love the ActiveX seats, but also live in hot humid Florida, and I can get a bit sweaty with them.

Is there a reason you want to move up to Lariat instead of XLT Lux. Unless you want the push button start or adaptive cruise, that could be your better option.

There may be people.with XLTs also that would potentially trade seats with you. I got a Lariat specifically for the Active X seats as I found the cloth seats in the Maverick uncomfortable.

Check to see if the Lariat with BAP has black cloth seats. Also with the standard lux package many seat covers aren't rated for heated seats.

I'm with you on cloth seats. I've always scratched my head that people desire slippery seats that are cold in winter and burn your legs in summer - and consider that a luxury.

There are multiple paths available to you. You can just ask your dealer to order some XLT Luxury package seats and swap them. You can check junkyards - because more than a few Mavericks have been totaled. You can buy Recaros or other brands (they rock). You can buy some really nice cloth seat covers.

To me the seat color for the XL or the XLT would be odd with rest of the interior color. Kinda picky I know.

I really want to try the CP 360 with the Assist that is now standard on the 24 Lariat. I want all the bells and whistles it offers, just don't like the Activex seats.

May have to learn to live with them because they match the rest of the interior, or take them to a local shop to have recovered. I don't like the recover option, so will probably just learn to like them.

Oops...I was thinking of the XLT BAP.

The ActiveX seats are quite grippy. And after a year plus of ownership, I can confidently say that they're perfectly comfortable temperature-wise. They heat up and cool down quickly. Much better than cloth seats that are just going to get stained and full of nasty crap after a couple years IMO, but to each their own of course

I would get the XLT and upgrade what you want from the Latat package. I bought a ‘23 XLT that had BAP, AWD, SIBL, cargo management rails and Co-Pilot 360. Color is CO. This was off the lot but I’m pretty sure you can get what you want with the XLT.
