So I’ve watched videos, scoped the material vid and have looked at some posts of people saying that the MGV is super solid and going to leather would almost be a downgrade..
I’m considering a Manual Shadow Black Badlands Sas/high pkg..

Now, I’m not huge on the orange stitching or accents in the interior. I’d be happier with the blue accents on the oh shit handles and whatnot, but what the hell were they thinking with orange.. would going leather give me a different stitching? The materials vid just mentions Blacked out seats, when they mention leather..
hopefully can trade my orange accented parts to someone who ends up with the blue ones..

I love the orange stitching. I'm getting CG. But I see it clashing with other paint.

The leather also has orange stitching, if you goto the build & price and check out the 360 interior view you can see it there.

Personally i'm excited for the orange accents, i think they look awesome. But then i'm getting cyber orange, but they will also look great with shadow black! But it does suck that you aren't able to personalize them. There are definitely some exterior colors out there that they will clash with big time, like the reds.

Hmm. This is preproduction - but these leather ones look blue for stitching.. still have time to decide, but but I was definitely leaning towards the MGV, but was hopeful for a closer or neutral stitching..

In the materials video, the vinyl and the leather have the orange stitching The image on the left may be the Wildtrack which has the Area 51 stitching color.

100%, exactly what i was about to say. if that photo was zoomed out you'd see the sandstone on the sides of the chair.

The stitching can be blacked out with a $2 fabric pen. The grab handles can be painted or wrapped?

Every person that has actually touched the MGV has said that, that I've seen post. There is no " almost ". It is a downgrade.

It seems that most of the stitching and accent colors are color coordinated with models badge.

hopefully can trade my orange accented parts to someone who ends up with the blue ones..
The line forms to the left. I would advise you create a new post in the Canadia regional forums and try to find someone with a BlackDiamond willing to swap interiors.

Typically ford would use a split leather, compare it to a higher series Lincoln and you'll see a difference between top and split leather.

The unanswered question is where power seats and carpet come in. Not sure if there are power seats at all in badlands... or if they are paired with leather.

I will say that vinyl can get a bit sticky, no vented seats in the bronco config. I guess take the doors off and wear linen.
Very much answered.

Power is available on 4-door BL but only with leather. Choosing leather also means getting the carpet interior (no wash-out).

I have the opposite situation. I don't like the blue handles on Outer Banks and hoping for orange to replace them.

+1

Offroad equipment has vinyl, it gets hot. My Ranger had vinyl before vinyl was cool, it got hot too.

I take the cushion off my tractor and just sit on the steel pan seat in the summer.
