He likes cows. Let the man be and let him rub his leather.

I reserved a WT but ordered a BL.
I had leather in both my Rubicon’s and and wheeled them everywhere from local to the Rubicon trail with no issues.
We will definitely be wheeling the Bronco too and I chose leather in my BL because:
- I do want the carpet as it will likely be quieter than wash out (and the drain plugs ARE under the carpet if I need them),
- I feel the carpet floors provide a nicer look as this is not just an off road only rig,
- I do want the power seats,
- I want black colored seats and although the MGV is called ‘black onyx‘, it is really grey in color whereas the leather is black,
- I have seen and touched both the leather and MGV in a Bronco at Super Cel East and the leather is thicker than the MGV and we have a large dog and I feel it will hold up better over time (have Ford leather now in my Edge and zero issues),
-Oh and I also want the cup holders in the back.
That’s why leather in my Badlands.
That WT interior is hideous. I talked to the dealer about getting them to make me black leather or MGV seats (this dealer does some really nice work). Price seemed reasonable until I realized there was nothing I could do about the dash. Red Badsquatch 4dr order is in.Almost exact same scenario for me. Reserved TW, ordered BL sasquatch. Coming from a 2019 Rubicon, I want the combo of my vehicle being able to go wherever the hell I want to go with it, but leather/power/every luxury option I can get. That's the beauty in these for me, don't have to give up one to get the other. I took my Jeep everywhere, and never had a need for the washout...carpet with the WeatherTech mats was perfect.
On the WT -> BL conversion...I could get past the seats in the WT, but hated the dash going with it. Being able to get all of the same options plus the sway disconnect (yes, I know some are divided on this, but I used it in the Jeep), and the black interior was a pretty easy decision.
similar story- I reserved OB and then upgraded to BL Lux non Sas as I like the 33s. And exactly same thoughts on interior as you. I'm at $60,500 msrpStarted out Wildtrak LUX, over several months I began to hate the Sandstone Interior. Was then leaning OBX LUX Squatch with Roast Leather interior based on Ford interior website depiction because it was handsome and I always wanted a truck/car with baseball glove leather. Then, I saw it in the wild..... I want to thank this site because someone posted the actual Roast Interior and it looks totally different, dash has a metallic bronzy vibe that actually clashes with the leather. So then I freaked and went with the baddest vehicle not named First Edition. Decided on Badlands, fully loaded. I did lose my brush bar and step rails but the interior with black leather and orange stitching is simple yet really cool and I don't have to worry about how it's going to look. Not to mention The vehicle itself is the best for off-roading and I think it will keep it's value really well. $61,800 MSRP. Really happy with my order! Anyone else have a similar back and forth decision process?

It's nuts, and I hope I'm not disappointed that I don't want to wait for 2022. You in essence need to choose your seats, and then find the models that have them. Want black interior with the High or Lux package? You're getting a Badlands. Don't like sandstone panels on your seats and dash? No Wildtrak for you.Love hearing these stories. Thanks for sharing.
Yes. Orange vs Area 51. But the leather Roast Onyx OBX I have has the tan dash, not the gray. I think you have wrong info. But i like your build!Started out Wildtrak LUX, over several months I began to hate the Sandstone Interior.
