differences between XLT vs EB

[crackhead]

The build on my EB (2001) says that it came with standard (read: non-air) suspension.

especially when it's -5 out and your heated seat no longer works

Or 100 degrees and you are wearing shorts... I put black fake leather seat covers on mine over the cheap pleather seats and holy smokes I have about caught fire before...

I didn't have heated seats in my '99 - they weren't offered then.

just for reference, 98 eb has heated seats, not sure if it was standard

Mine too...

I agree with Tom, cloth is a much better way to go!
The "only" thing I like better about my current EB over my last XLT is the back quarter windows. However, they whistle and are pretty annoying when I tow my travel trailer.

Mine is a 98 and I don't have heated seats. I'd also rather have the cloth seats but my leather seats actually aren't in bad shape at all surprisingly considering its spent its entire life in California, Nevada and Arizona.

so wait, is my 98 EB some kind of bastard child? she never had air ride, no evidence of ever having it whatsoever (i kno her inside n out), n seats are not heated, never appear to have had the option. weird?

Ok... XLT . EB or Navigator. Talk about loaded. I know this is the expy forum but why not consider the Navigator. Prices are the same for all at this point.

Limited slip rear and front(I think) heavy duty towing. Oil cooler, tranny cooler, vent windows open, leather, all the bells and whistles...

Mine didn't have or ever had air ride or heated seats. Less things to break I think.

Bah Humbug!!

lol..

Call me weird, but I actually prefer the cloth seats. Seem to hold up better over time.

Cant agree more. Leather is not comfortable. Too sticky in summer, too cold in winter. Cloth holds up better and it never feels too uncomfortable like leather
