Trucks for Outdoorsmen

Leather is a must. Heated seats and steering wheel is better than I thought. Cooled seats don't do much for me. Next one will have push button start.

The leather in my 2011 tundra has held up great. Getting in and out muddy will get mud on seats occasionally and they clean up easily.
One thing that is pretty much a must from any truck I own here on out is a back up camera. Even though I can hook up a trailer without one, they make things so much easier when it comes to stopping in just the right spot to drop the tongue on the ball.

Leather holds up better than vinyl or cloth generally, especially if you take care of it.

Go with a Sierra z71 SLT, Silverado z71 LT, F-150 FX4 or Tundra.

The first three I know have climate controlled seats for heat or cool air depending on the time of the year

Leather is easier to clean. The only issue I’ve had with leather is that, especially in Fords, the bolster wears out pretty bad from sliding in and out of the truck. Not a huge deal but it’s noticeable after a couple years.

Those that hunt and fish, does the leather hold up over time?

For me it has; I fish a lot, not hunt. '15 Sierra so over 3 yrs now.

Anything you wish you had or didn't have?

My Sierra came loaded. The 1 option that I never thought I use is the heated seat. I can heat either the back of whole seat and I use the heated back ALL THE TIME bc I have a bad back......this option just ROCKS.

2017 F250 Lariat with leather heated and ac seats with remote start. Won’t ever have another truck without those features. The auto bright and dim headlight are freaking awesome. Went from a Tundra to the F250. Have to say I like this truck more than any other I have owned.
