You could be driving a three speed black Pinto with black vinyl seats, without air conditioning, and an overheating problem necessitating turning on the heat in summer to keep from overheating.

For these reasons, no one will ever catch me with a vinyl car seat in my daily driver again. I made a vow that summer.

Imagine being surprised that vinyl seats are hot. :geek: PS - guess what happens when it's really cold in winter. :eek:

It's the main thing that makes me want to swap to a wildtrak w/cloth...

If I can ever order another one, I'll switch to wildtrak and take the oportunity to move to 2.7/auto/lux at the same time ::)
Honestly, the OBX cloth is better than the WildTrak, but you won't get HOSS 3.0 in an OBX. The Sasquatch OBX is now the old WildTrak anyway.

Anybody who’s had neoprene covers in the past will likely agree that they are great in some respects, relatively inexpensive, but super swampy…even for those of us without back hair or otherwise prone to excessive sweating.

This is reason 428 why I don't buy brand-new vehicles. I was loving the sound of the MGV, and the early reviews were very positive. Then summer arrived, and with it posts like these!

I'm definitely going with cloth or leather when I get mine.

I'm planning on doing seat covers for my MGV mostly just to keep them from getting beat up over time as I plan on doing some hooning with this thing... Will probably go the Carhartt route.... because manly...

Psssssssst..... 4 words.........after, market, seat, covers.

The MGV can't be 2 things. It can't be water friendly, AND be absorbent. The nature of the water friendly properties means it's going to be hot when it's hot. Leather isn't that water friendly, and goes against the whole wash out option in my opinion. kinda perplexed they made the sides of the seats cloth though ?

You've got to introduce something that will counter the heat. Anyone who's driven an older, no AC, vinyl seat car can tell you that.

I have leather in my 4 dr Badlands (Cyber Orange) and MGV in my 2 dr Badlands (Erection Green). I had cloth in the 2 dr Big Bend (Race Red) that was traded. So, having experienced all three coverings in the new Broncos, MGV is my favorite.! Leather has always been my choice in new vehicles.

If they don't absorb then you're gonna have a wet back, and butt similar to leather or vinyl. A Summer seat cover option is already in my plans.
And if they do absorb, like cloth, you will have a nice sweat stain. It’s always fun to sit in someone else’s car and see their sweat stain.
