I was a early March build and my MGV interior doesn't have the cup holders so I guess we MGV folk just got the short end of the stick. Though I suppose we're not missing much because the cupholders are not all that great.
So even if yours doesn't come with cup holders you can still hang a cup holder off the molle panel on the back of the seat. If not that then IAG is coming out with a cupholder that mounts to the back of the center console.That statement in the first post got me excited about the possibility of rear cupholders with my 'may never be built' Badlands, even went to Ford.com and saw that it was shown on the cloth and MGV seats on the B&P even though they didn't show this option before.

MGV
Can anyone confirm that new builds are getting or not getting rear cupholders for cloth and MGV? Yes, its sounds stupid, but I have a kid and this is a big deal!

My wings are frost which matches the cactus gray (gray/green color). I don't think it would match up with desert tan. I would consider waiting till you receive your bronco and then go to a Katzkin dealer and match up the color.Looking good buddy.
Which "wings" color did you choose, and how closely does it match the desert tan in your base?
I'm trying to match with my WT, and go with a coffee colored primary color.
Some high res photos of your install would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Thanks. I have my Bronco already, and don't see a Katzkin dealer near me. I will likely request some leather swathes from them to see how closely I can match my desert tan.My wings are frost which matches the cactus gray (gray/green color).

Same with my WT built mid April ‘22 - no cup holder insert.I have a March 2022 build, WildTrak. Here's my cloth backseat:
That's a deal there. Looks fantastic and I bet it feels even better.Akins/Willies charged $200 for the install
Please let us know if the cooled seats make a big difference on a hot day. I was going to have it installed but the shop told me that it really is just a fan blowing air from inside the car (behind or under the seat) so it really doesn't do much vs the cost. I thought it somehow connected to the AC vent but he said no it just blows the current air from inside the vehicle. I ended up selling my Katzkin kit and kept cloth for now but might do leather if the cooled seats make a huge difference.Friends - For those considering aftermarket leather seating, I wanted to share my build. I picked up my Bronco OBX last week and am thrilled with how the leather seating turned out. I took delivery from Akins Ford, the largest Ford truck dealer in Georgia and the second most truck sales by volume in the south east. Akins has an in house custom shop called Wild Willies. If you've seen the popular Town & Country vids on youtube, its a very similar setup. Akins/Willies ordered my Katzkin kit in dark black leather and had it installed for me prior to pickup. My main reason for going this route was due to my preference for the painted trim pieces on the OBX exterior, but I was very frustrated by the lack of a full black interior option on this model. I really wanted a full black on black setup. It's a tough choice to go with aftermarket leather because you lose the option for power seats (and on my model the rear folding center arm rest/cup holder, but it appears Ford has opted since February to put the rear folding arm rest/cup holder with the cloth interior option (fml)). I ultimately decided to go with the navy/black stock cloth interior due to it having the darker dash. Luckily the kit comes with not only seating covers, but also includes covers for the colored (blue in my case) center and door arm rests. This leaves only the dash and inlaid door inserts as the color contrast pieces. However, these are actually a much darker blue than in the Ford.com build page or my pictures indicate. The dash is almost black in color and the door inserts are a very dark blue and don't clash with the black leather.
The kit options were $2,200 for just a leather kit or $3,200 for included cooled/heated seats. Akins/Willies charged $200 for the install for $3,400 total. The seats feel great to the touch, it's thick high grade leather, and perforated for for the cooling/heating functions. The controls were installed on the side of the seat, three levels for each cooling and heating. The cooling is amazing, and reminds me of my dad's F-150 that had that option from the factory. And maybe Ford will include this as a factory option on the Bronco down the road, but for now this is the only option I'm aware of.
Anyway, on to some pictures... The leather is a darker black than the pictures indicate. I highly recommend if you're looking for something other than the factory Ford interior options or cooled seats.
Thanks! Yep, someone mentioned I may have gotten faked news'd on the seats and Ford.com pics of the cloth seats with cup holders are not accurate. Maybe it's something they plan to do and went ahead and changed the pics, but they have to get through existing parts stock before people start seeing them in their builds?great post on the seats. Just one clarification: March 4door build with vinyl here - no rear armrest/cup holders.
