Katzkin Leather Seat Covers for Maverick

[Pickles]

I didn't buy the Lariat Lux for the Active X seats. But I have to admit I like them better than the leather seats I've had. If they hold up better and never crack/split/discolor/fade, I will be a full on convert. Faux leather has come a long way. And likely is going to get more and more prevalent. It's in the Mustang Mach E too.

This is true. Some of the Katzkin products are synthetic too. i’m sure the lariat lux is a nice product. i just hate brown interiors lol so i’m very biased

You make some good points. I agree with you. The Lariat's Active X seats feel supple and soft and hopefully wear better than leather that tends to dry out and crack.

Thank you for taking the time to explain your post. I support that you understand your needs. I support your decision to not purchase items or packages that do not fit your needs and that you are wise enough to know the difference between needs and wants. I'm sorry if I misinterpreted your post. I read it as if you were poking fun at those whose needs and decisions were different than yours.
I went for the Lariat because I wanted the lux and driver assist items ... I wanted the push button Start/Stop. I didn't have a choice on the seats. I don't care if the Lariat's seats aren't leather ... I like the look and feel of them. I needed a replacement for my Chevy Colorado that caught fire in my driveway and burned down my house. This Lariat showed up at a Ford dealer within 100 miles so I went for it. Everyone has a story behind their purchase and I thought your post was a bit callous.

Sorry if you thought that. It wasnt meant to be taken that way. That sucks about your house. I am glad you found a maverick on the lot you could get, and thst it checked off all the boxes for what you want/need. I am in wait mode on my XLT and driving a 14 year old daily driver Chevy HHR wagon that's about shot. Hopefully mine will be built in the spring, and I will get it during the summer. Nothing on my order will hold it up, no extras. I will likely keep it as cloth seats for a year or so after I get it to save for the leather covers. My 2007 mustang GT has real leather covers, and i love the feel, and scent in the interior. My mustang is not a daily driver car. It's my nice day car. I wouldent ever subject it to parking lots, and never have.

The lighting makes it look dirty but I’m very happy with the results. Colors match the interior really well

Wow these look awesome! How do you like them so far? If you don’t mind what did they run you? Also you post more pics?

I screwed around on their site and settled on this color scheme.

I really like these! What are the colors/layout? Also did you get a quote for these?

Love the seats. The smell and feel of the leather really boosted my comfort in the truck. The colors are matched so well it feels factory installed rather than an addition. Paid $1800 including installation. I can take a few more shots and post them tomorrow.

I cant recall the colors, I did not get a quote. I dont even have the truck yet. You could probably fart around with their seat modifier thing and come up with the exact same pattern. I think I chose the darkest brown offered. Look at the Tuscany colors. I also selected piping instead of stitching, and did NOT select perforated leather. The reason being is perforated as cool as it looks, actually weakens the hide. This is where it will start to stress and want to crack first.

Thanks for the quick reply. Yea they definitely look factory! That would be great of you could take a few more pics. Thanks

Sounds good. I’ll check their site out. I also still don’t have my truck but just getting some ideas

More pictures. Found a little shade and got some different angles than before. Small bonus: you get a drivers side seat back pocket with katzkin. Hope this helps anyone with their seat decision

Thanks. It's difficult to gauge feelings from mere text and I'm just as guilty as anyone coloring someone else's meaning with my own issues. As Americans we are not accustomed to waiting for products to be built, nor should we be. Good things will come to you eventually. That HHR Chevy will only sweeten your XLT's delivery date. Best regards.

Thanks for understanding. This just allows me to save more money for it. If it becomes a 2023 there may be different options and colors to pick from plus I will have a little more $$$ to play with option sheets or just to put down to go for the cheaper monthly payment and less months to pay.

Not selling the HHR. It's been thru a bunch of hail storms. Looks like a golf ball. Not worth anything on a trade. Gonna fix the few broken/worn things and keep it as a spare vehicle. Driveline is rock solid on it.

It needs new lower control arms. Easy to change out in the driveway and inexpensive as these parts fit about a dozen different GM vehicles. Needs a windshield glass or it wont pass inspection, and another turn signal switch, probably fits from the same dozen vehicles. I will probably get one of those from the wrecking yard. Oh and it answers to the name lucky too lol. Insurance and registration total is like $275 per year on it

My neighbor had an HHR. I liked the retro look. Chevy also had out a retro look pick-up, the SSR. Always good to have a spare vehicle that's inexpensive to maintain. Safe and happy travels.
