Bought a 2017 f150 crew cab. Wanted leather but not all the other stupid upgrades. Had upholstery limited off of south Choctaw put in Olea leather. They did a FANTASTIC job. I think I paid 950 or so.

Upholstery Limited on S. Choctaw.

Katzskin dealer.

I've had some work done there, they are good an the price is fair.

Couple of reputable brands. Katskinz is one, but cost depends on how much actual leather you want and what grade. Most cars are no where near 100% leather. Also need to consider if you have heated or cooled seats as well.

I got my wife a car a few years ago and they didn't have the one we wanted with leather. So we found some place on Florida to do it and that leather has held up better than any other I've ever seen. Still feels and looks brand new after 5 years. Took a day to install them and it was a little loose for a few weeks but it shrinks with heat so that went away.

I wanted a truck with leather but not all the extra bullshite that usually comes with leather packages, so I asked my dealer to chase it down as an aftermarket add on and he hooked me up with Katzskins for about 1400.

Try calling your dealer. I'm pretty sure most have the contacts.
