I looked at those but I still hate them, they look too much like spare tires to me lol. I really like the WikdTrak rims and wish I could get those without that trim. The steel bumpers, washout and vinyl are starting to sway me. Easier to clean with dogs and my wife can hit things and not demolish the plastic bumper ? I’m holding out hope there’s more accessories in the B&P. If I could get signature lights and different rims it might be worth it.
Yeah they aren't my favorite either but that washout interior is a must for me coming from my experience with my 97 wrangler

Way back when, I owned a Kawasaki ZX-7R, and it had a vinyl seat cover material that reminds me of this. Definitely vinyl, but NOT like the marine style, leather look material you'd see on boats. If this is the same modern, smooth, comfortable, grippy, well wearing material as that, you guys are gonna LOVE it.

I’ll add another vote for vinyl. I was one of the first people there to stick their hand in and start squeezing and pulling at the vinyl. Felt amazing very soft a slight texture very slight stretch not stiff or slippery at all. There’s a super light gray check to it it was a very appealing color. I had assumed I would upgrade to leather in my badlands. I’m not even considering it anymore.

Damn, am I really going to have to buy a maxed out Badlands now? I was going to get the WT to save money, but those marine grade seats though........ :love:
Same here.....just don’t want the interior orange highlight color that comes with Badlands.

'71 Bronco, '02 Excursion

I have an '02 Excursion with leather, 260k on it - all of its life in Arizona. The driver's seat has some slight cracking on the edge, the previous owner was 300 lbs. That said, even in a light color, it can be hot and sticky. Most modern automotive leather interiors don't need a lot of care, they're chemically sealed so no more Hide Food or other expensive/laborious additives every 6 months. Wipe with a damp cloth.

I've had quality vinyl on a number of boats. I'd take that for wear and tear (abrasion resistance) over leather.
This isn't the vinyl from your 1967 Corvair - it's soft, supple, and will last a good long time.

Cloth interiors have also come a long way. They clean up really well with approved chemical cleaners and are seriously wear resistant. I've picked up some used cars that the seats looked like the floor of a west Texas honky tonk, a carpet cleaner makes quick work of them. By the way, removing a scary-looking carpet and pressure cleaning it after spraying with some 409 or Fantastic produces a virtual miracle.

It won't matter what is under my waterproof Wet Okole seat covers. The less I pay for the factory seating surface the happier I'll be.

If MGV is not available on Wildtrak, it's most likely Badlands for me.

These are the two trims I've gone back and forth on but after seeing this comparison, I want MGV (especially if leather is priced higher).

I'd also like to see how the MGV stitching looks on A51. Good together?

Ford, you have two choices:
Sell me a bronco with MGV in a light color, or
Sell me your cheapest bronco seat that I will cover with an aftermarket cover.
