MGV (Vinyl) versus Leather

[Opticnerve19]

Boated my entire life. Marine grade vinyl is a beast

Even the leather if you read the fine print is vinyl/leather trimmed. I’m not sure what part is vinyl and which is leather. At least with mgv you get all of one material.

It's not really fine print. Theyre pretty up front with that fact lol

Note at least from at least these photos, the leather seats appear to be manual:

Ignore this. They list 10-way power seats in the specifications.

It does appear the MGV seats do have rear cupholders.

Also the Leather rear seats don't have a 60/40 fold?

When this isn't off roading/kid hauling/camping it is going to be carrying things from Home Depot. 60/40 is a must. Leather doesn't have 60/40 rear fold?

9:50 mark.

I'm going with the blue leather. If the leather breaks down in 5-10 years, I'll just get it re-upholstered.

Edit
I see you updated your post. Still a solid video of the Lux/Leather interior if you are interested.

I went w/ MGV for 2 reasons: 1 seems like it has a much better rating than the leather with other models and 2 I have children; if I can hose them down and the seats that is a huge benefit.

But these seats are slightly different than standard. Do I have the right logic here? Did you go MGV/Leather and why?

You say you went MGV, and your avatar shows OBX. I don’t believe MGV is available in the OBX. Cloth or leather are the choices.

I assumed he was talking about ordering a Raptor since we're in the Raptor forums?

My OBX was the ordered vehicle that never was built. It was converted to a Raptor.

ive had cloth in every vehicle ive ever owned and i am so sick and tired of having a black interior its so bland and boring to me anymore. for a vehicle like the Raptor, im going all out and getting the blue leather/suede seats. im sure the MGV is great stuff but if im spending all this money and i spend all my time on the inside driving, i want that premium feeling of leather. personal opinion of course.

The whole reason I didn't get the base and got the black diamond was for the washout interior. Top off let it rain baby, MGV seats allll day.

 

[tyrobronco]

MGV dictated what trim we were going to get: Badlands or Black Diamond.

I've had it for 5,000 miles. Sand, dust, rain, water and I cannot imagine having anything else. And it is durable - having vacuumed it up, rubbed on it, had heavier people sitting on it, puddles on it - it still looks new.

Oh my apologies. I walked in the wrong door. Have a great one.

It happens a lot because of the way the forums front page is.

I guess I should have said if you read the description lol. But some people see leather and that’s all they read. Even the katskin covers at least the few styles I looked at when considering a big bend said they were a combo of leather/vinyl. I’ve got an OBX with leather I’ve never seen the mgv in person.

I have drove in both versions and you cant tell the difference IMO, I am getting MGV and washout coming from a BL conversion.
