About how much does Katskin run $ ? Is it all-leather? Thanks


Last time i had it done it was 1000 for front and rear. Probably around 1200 now if i had to guess. It’s Faux Leather. Mine still looks brand new after 8 years except for a small tear on the drivers seat bottom portion.

Leather seats seem to remain firmer to me and are more comfortable. Just a preference, but always worth the extra money to me. I bought a truck at the end of last year and purposely got a 2019 so I could get leather without paying a ridiculous price.

I hated leather seats for years. The cooling feature changed the game for me, i will never own a vehicle without it now. Plus, with a toddler, there are so much easier to clean.

Can you get air and heated ones installed, or just the leather. My cloth seats are the only thing that looks worn on my 2014.

I like them when new. HoweverI drive my trucks for many years and I don’t like the look of leather when it gets old…I stick with cloth for my trucks from now on.

Absolutely IMO

That said, I don't know why black leather is so much more popular than tan or brown. It's always a pain hunting them down.

Easier to keep clean especially with kids. Just pass on ventilated leather seats; they get crap in them.

I just got Kay-skins installed in my ‘17 F-250 for $1100. Worth the money IMO

Not for what the dealership charges.

You can get Katskinz for a quarter the price put in.

Worth what? Being colder in cold weather? Hell no! Being sticky in hot humid weather? Hell no!!

Next question?

You're welcome.

If they are ventilated seats, yes! They’re worth every penny.

This. Every vehicle I buy from now on will have this feature.

Yes just don’t get black or it will burn the skin off your arse leg whatever in Sunmer. I got my fust leather seats many decades ago and have never owned any car without them since. Ease to clean and maintain is 100 times better than cloth

Just because your screen name is so good, not a smartass answer:

YES, leather seats in a truck are worth the upgrade.

Katskinz are the way to go, don't have to pay the upgrade high package price and katskinz are of better quality.
