MGV (Vinyl) versus Leather

[thatspecialbeat]

I had marine vinyl in my '86 and it was the best. I could just hop in with a wetsuit and head to another spot.

MGV seats on the Bronco have felt awesome so far. No complaints. People said they feel thin but I do not agree with that.

I'm loving the MGV and have had leather in almost every vehicle for the last 20 years.

This one is easy, vinyl for sure.

Leather starts looking like this in 6 months:

MGV will still look like this in 5 years:

Good leather won't.

I still can't find any good pictures of the vinyl option in the Raptor. Seems like every review has leather or the blue leather.

Good leather won't.

Neither will properly treated leather. Using a quality cleaner and conditioner will make a world of difference

I’d have considered MGV if I could also get power seats. But I can’t, so I won’t.

Cloth for sure, just wish I could get in my BD build

All leather wears, but yes your right good leather lasts longer. The question is, do you consider the Bronco or Ford in general to have good leather?

I chose MGV on my '22 Badlands order, since it's a 2dr and no power seats the value of the leather package really isn't there. From what I'm reading on here most people who have MGV really like it.

I know people enjoy buying expensive cleaning products and spending their Saturday rubbing down seats of a vehicle in the drive way but that isn't for me. I have trails to explore and mountains to climb. If there is a material that looks good, functions good, and is cheaper to boot I am rolling that way. That's why Ford offers choices. I really wish Ford would have added the Active X seats from the Expedition to the Bronco. Ours is going to be three years old this year and they look the same as when we purchased it.

At least I know when I spill my beer it won’t ruin the vinyl

Having MGV seats and no carpeting in my 21 Black Diamond is awesome. Looks great, feels great, and so easy to care for. All I have to do is a quick dusting with the leaf blower or a wipe down with a wet cloth!

You don’t have to sell me, I’m getting MGV as well. But a good product doesn’t need to be applied that often, my GTI seats looked like the day I bought it after 5 years with only cleaning and conditioning every few months. Interesting you prefer Active X, granted my MGV experience is limited to a test drive but I thought it was more comfortable than my friends active x seats

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.

i believe the parts that contact your body are leather and the rest is vinyl so probably just the top of the seat bottom and the top of the seat back maybe the headrest
