Which seats do you prefer? Raptor

[ThatWilsonGuy]

Simply no discussion. I love my Raptor's blue/suede lava seats. I searched high and low throughout national inventory to find this combo. Throw in the Code Orange seat belts... money! Do they wash out? Do they get hot in the summer? They are so comfortable and look so amazing... I'm not even thinking about stuff like that. When The sunlight from a hot AZ day hits them... it's more moving then watching my kid being born...

This exact interior option is one of the things that pushed me over the edge to get the Raptor.

Could you replace the MGV seats with leather/suede ones with power? They both are heated so power is going to both versions.

My current Raptor I specifically spec'd MGV. After having them for 22 months they are so freaking hot in the summer with the top off and forget about using the heated seats in the winter. You literally could cook burgers on them with the heated seats on. I'm trading this Raptor off for another new one which has the leather suede seats. I'm also excited to have the power seats as you can dial the position in way more precise. Aside from how hot the MGV seats are all the time, they are absolutely easy to clean and wear like iron. Did I mention how hot they are?

Wildtrak with "leather" seats (isn't it only the center portion that's actually leather, or is it just the trim?). Not too hot in summer, least with the AC on. They're more comfy than the leather seats in my 20 Gladiator, and are pretty decent overall. Wondering how they'll wear, but at 8K miles they're doing fine.

If I would have built my Raptor I don’t think I would went with the leather/suede seats due to the price of them. But, they came in my Raptor and I have to say they are some of the most comfortable seats I have ever had in any vehicle. My daughter even commented that my seats are more comfortable than my wife’s seats in her 2024 Sequoia Platinum, which they are.

As for the back seats, not so much. But I don’t ride back there so I don’t really care.

Same on my FE. Still good at 23k or so miles and was driving it all over OBX in August with the top off an no problem (and I typically sweat like a pig).

With being said, I'd go with the leather/suede seats on a Raptor just by how they look alone. In fact the local dealer has the color of a discounted Raptor I want but no painted top and it has the MGV seats so I passed.

I have the blue leather- I was concerned that when i saw them they would look bad or cheap... I get alot of compliments on them.

Without question to me- I had to have power adjust and heated seats. I have grown accustomed to these creature comforts. To get that- leather was required. I think Ford stopped short on this seating design, but I am glad I didn't go MGV.

Of course the seats and carpet will suffer if the top is off on a rainy day... hasn't happened yet, but I have run into that many many times in my '75 Bronco.
