Will MGV (marine grade vinyl) seats be constructed like typical car seats? Attached with hog clips? Asking for heated seat install aftermarket.

This is where I'm at too. I'm just not sure I'm going to like the stock vinyl seats. I THINK the bad photos I have seen are early build. I do know Katskinz are easy and quick. Most dealers are installers. The way I see it the BD adds $7,500 but a base with $5,000 sasq is a better option in some ways. Tough to decide. I have an early res, but I'm going to push to '22 to see what aftermarket offers.
Yeah I was not considering squatch on the base i can't do 35s daily and I don't like the wheels anyway. To do wheels, tires, leather and heated seats on base professionally installed would be $5k - the more recent pics of vinyl I saw are actually what changed my mind they look pretty nice to me:

EDIT: These pics are a BADLANDS interior - the black diamond interior is the same, except it has two tone vinyl (black with gray accents) instead of the all black here.

Probably.

Badlands has the Manual Transmission and up to Lux if you want.
You...... You.... Ba$TRD! I'm ready to place my order Friday! Now I have to ask myself whether I want the 7mt with the 2.3? For 2k more I'll note..... Save gas, theft proof, I'm getting old for a stick.... And hate that cheese grater grill,don't need disconnect.... Didn't know there was a mix with 7mt/2.3....great.

to each their own! - Manual and 2-door were my only two must-have features. I need that crawler gear for traffic! ;)

MT only comes in 2.3! I think in a 2 door it's going to be a perfect combo.

  • You're not too old for a stick
  • The grilles will swap easily and it's a nod to the early Bronco
  • You are too old to manually disconnect the sway bar
  • I'm the spitting image of my father which pissed me off in my teen years, but I'm okay with it now that I'm more mature

The only way I'd get the 2.3 is with a stick. It'll be fine. I had the first 4wd Toyota van in western burbs... 4 cyl and stick... Fantastic! 2.3 has Turbo.....

If i get the MGV seats, will these be constructed like normal leather seats with a prestitched cover that's hooked on to the foam with hog rings/ clips? I plan to take the bronco to an upholsterer to add an aftermarket heated seat kit.

The benefit is that heated seats extends the top-off season of the vehicle. Can't get mid package with a MT :(

Edit: also, how hot are these things going to get in the sun?
Have we heard officially if MGV with mid/high/lux will have heated seats? I know everything says they will but... It being a bit counterintuitive to washout and the b&p issues still make me wonder

I think they will, i know a lot of boats have them too. waterproof connectors.

What I'm wondering is if the the stitching and accents on the Black Diamond interior will match the exterior color.....

Any update on this? I want heated seats on the BD and don’t want to pay for all the extras on the BL.

Checking in with this. Betting my manual BD soon and want to know if there’s any way to add aftermarket heated seats without switching the seats entirely
