Not yet. Will.

My wife vehicle is. Great stuff. Tons of colors. Thick. Very very nice.

When mine gets paid off I'm going to. Be my treat to myself. My last truck had the custom wet okole neoprene..they were nice but for about $500 more I could get the leather katskinz.

Highly recommend.

OP - did your neighbors homeowners policy pay for the damage? Replacement cost or fair market value?

Did they pay for removal and haul away as well? Who do you get to do this? I can’t recall seeing many tow truck arborist.

Thanks. It’s cheaper to have this done after than buying one with leather?

Yes typically. Looking at $1200-$1400 for a crew cab including console depending.

Leather packages can run $3500+ depending on options.

Just build a truck on a website and check prices with and without leather package and see the difference.

You can get on the website and find companies in your area that install the katskinz. Call em up and they'll be able to quote you over the phone.

You don’t even have to make a payment if you finance through the dealer for extra rebates. I bought my f150 and refinanced a few days later. The finance guy tried telling us we have to make 3 payments before refinancing. It isn’t true. Take the money and run.

Mr Whipple - Kemo is correct. Despite it being my neighbor's tree, it is my problem. The tree actually took out 2 of my vehicles - a 2016 F 150 and 2012 Jeep - both total losses and both with a 1,000 deductible.

2021 feels a lot like 2020 did...

BTW - went car shopping Sat afternoon (last day of the month). Didn't find what I wanted, but as several of you said - everything is negotiable. Several dealers offered several thousand dollar discounts (on top of other discounts), without my even asking.

Keep in mind the last three I bought were from hours away.

Everytime the dealer brought it to me to sign on my kitchen table. They were used as well.

You can shop farther out than you want.

Never negotiate down from MSRP, always negotiate up from invoice (minus holdback). Ask for the invoice sheet, look for "HB" that's the dealer holdback. Subtract that from invoice add in discounts and incentives and start there.

10,000.00 off with a 2.9 is the same thing as 13,000.00 off with a 5.9 in terms of monthly payments. don't let those rebates fool you.
