I use to do upholstery professionally. We had vinyl repaired all the time.leather is also very easy to repair.
I don’t even know how to repair vinyl.
What I don't know, is how do you repair leather? You can't fix a leather tear (and not have it noticeable), you have to replace the damaged section. With vinyl, the two edges are glued/melted together and more often than not, you will never know its been repaired. (It's a bit more involved than that, but that's the easy description).
Personally I would want cloth. Butt doesn't sweat in the summer and doesn't freeze in the winter.
In my younger days leather truly was an upgrade, but these days the leather used is crap and the vinyls used are much improved. In both my wife's Jag and her new Mercedes (as well as the leather in my Ranger) looks and feels like vinyl. Whereas a good quality vinyl looks and feels like soft leather. Figure that one out?
....and I have to say it...."Marine Grade" vinyl doesn't equate to better quality. That's just Fords marketing team at work. Same as they advertise using "Military grade" aluminum, when they are just using the same aluminum that every other manufacturer (and the military) uses.
There is good and bad quality "marine" vinyl. Marine grade simply means it is mildew and UV resistant. All automotive vinyl meets these requirements.
Until Ford increases the towing capacity I can't get a Bronco, but if they do, I will be replicating the same cloth interior that they have been showing in the Cactus Grey one. Love that interior!
