Switched from Leather to MGV!

[ehssey]

I'm pretty sure power seat don't come with leather in a Badlands. Heated yes, power no.

Correction, your right if your getting a 4 door? Power seats do come with leather. I never considered a 4 door, so I was uninformed.

Yes, I ordered a 4 door.

If the MGV for the Bronco is on par with the vinyl in my Cherokee Trailhawk I'll be more than happy to have avoided adding leather.

It began as a principal matter of forking out $60k for a sparkling new vehicle with old school manual seats and rubber floors.... Thus, I originally spec'd leather, power seats, and carpet...

But, having watched my dog toss his biscuits (threw up) all over the seats and flooring while on a drive, I've decided MGV and washout interior is more pragmatic.

Plus, MGV has come a long way in it development as a high quality material. I'd wager its actually better than leather these days. Go sit in a top of the line wake boat or Searay cruiser. The surfaces are soft and supple. The dark colors do not get too hot in the sun. They clean up easily and are durable. Heated seats are an option regardless. Thus, cold vinyl is not an issue.

MGV with mid package heated seats upgrade, day 1 decision never looked back.

I was all in on MGV from the start. I added floor mats to my wash out interior anyways. Not sure why. Did I go too far? I love a good set of floor mats though.

added the mats to my BD because I didn't want the rubberized flooring getting scuffed up.

I went with the MGV because it is the cheaper option. I live in Arizona, a black interior is not my first choice. But it is the only choice on Badlands. I figure I can change to Katskins or some other option in a lighter color after delivery.

Curious to know if anyone else has switched from Leather to MGV? What was your reason? The more I read about MGV the more I love it. Plus I traded carpet for washout floors in my Badlands model. Saved $2200 and don’t need $160 floor mats. Losing power seats is a bummer but on a 4DR I feel like there will be less adjustments needed for front row seats. I feel great about MGV!

I'm excited for the MGV. I got the mats anyway, only because I tend to track gravel and stuff on my boots, and I like to be able to easily shake out mats from time to time.

Nothing heats up the inside of the car like 122 degrees. Ugg... why do I still live here?? lol!

So you can brag to all your friends in the winter time and cool off in the summer by driving 100 miles up I-17

I figure the level of burn and swamp-ass in the summer will be the same between leather and MGV. If it's too much, I'll get some cheap seat covers to soak up all the back and ball sweat in the summertime.

I'm in on the floor mats - $160 isn't much more than a set of wether tech mats, and having them on day 1 will be nice. I love the rubber mats in my super duty - just carefully remove and pour out the appl juice, coffee, dog vomit, etc.....

Anyone know if we can get carpet (as a stand alone option) without leather?

Badlands here. Been driving an Edge with leather seats for 9 years. I felt that the leather was durable but not “all that.” They were especially not $2K worth of “all that.” Add to it the likelihood of messy adventures with the Bronco, I thought that MGV was a better idea this time around.

like many others, even with the rubber floor i strongly lean toward still using floor mats as a first defense.

I wore a hole under the driver heel over the years on the Ford mats. Wouldn’t want to do that to the rubber floor.

I switched my order from leather to MGV, didn't want carpet. I don't think I'll use a hose in there unless it gets real nasty, but I will use a leaf blower to blast out dog hair and dust/dirt. Carpet sucks unless you like saving dog piss and kid puke...just saying.

I’ve seen the washout floors and the floor mats in person. I’d recommend getting both. I plan to.

Even with Georgia heat and humidity? That’s my fear, being stuck to the seat or burned in my new vehicle.

It was stupid hot at Super Cel East. The MGV seemed fine.

This is what has kept me to either the Base or BB, the worry that anything other than cloth is going to burn me with the top off. Is this a legit worry?

History says yes, but maybe MGV is different. Although, I don’t see how something that’s waterproof will allow for air to flow through and keep your legs and back from turning into liquid.
