What Are "Activex" Seats?

[Naranjita]

What Is Ford ActiveX™?
ActiveX is a high-end synthetic seating material designed to fit your active lifestyle. It is easier to clean, resistant to staining, and more durable than leather while maintaining a premium look and feel over time. ActiveX does not include any animal-based material.

An activEX seat is one that sends a text message to your spouse when activity takes place.

Do you have to treat, or condition active x seats?

Our rep brought this up in training- He said that the ActiveX can get a little sticky on a long ride compared to leather. I still went with it on mine. The benefits of what I get with the Lariat outweigh the concerns

"outweigh the concerns' . . . Couldn't have said it better. Living in Florida ActiveX was a concern but just got to have the duel AC, power slider and some others goodies. Those smaller windows and the tint should help keep the sun at bay. I'll add a tinted eyebrow in front and tint the front side windows up to what's legal.

Never seen a Pleather cow before…….. I remember back in Collage some of us fellas headed to the bar dressed in polyester suits and huge cigars pretending to be rich Nauga ranchers. When asked what a Nauga cow was we referenced that’s where Naugahyde came from….... Those were the days….

ActiveX is the inner split from the hide of the Xnocerous. It's much smoother and more supple than the outer split.

And the Xnocerous is easier to breed that the Nauga in warmer, drier climates.

I would much rather have this style of leather.

I would much rather have this style of leather.

Oh yes..the standard seats in the 1967 VW beetle!
