Why dont we get 100% leather ??

[atmasters]

It is hard to believe that a vehicle that is almost $80,000 does not come with full leather. I really thought I did until a buddy pointed out that it is leather trimmed lol. Its not going to make me think less of my beauty but come on ford.

Very few new cars come with full leather. It a $$$$ saving tactic.

Agreed, this is very normal - check your couch they do the same thing

I'm more concerned with why you paid almost $80,000 for an Expedition then whether or not it has full leather.

The leather is on the seating surfaces, if the sides are "pleather" who cares I'm not sitting on the sides.

By the way I believe the King Ranch version is full leather. Unfortunatly I'm not a fan of the King Ranch brown color, if they made it in black/charcoal like the Platinum Escalades I would be all over it.

you paid $80K?????!!!!!!!!! wow...to back up RI-Matt...the front seats are the only ones with leather surface...2nd and 3rd rows are vynil...so when im able to redo them im going all vynil

I assume since he is in Canada, its $80K canadian. But to the leather issue, yes.. it's just the front seating surface. Sides are vinyl for better wear and to lessen the cost to the manufacturer. Even BMW does it so it is an industry-wide practice .... however the back seats are leather also.

My 2012 has leather in the first and second with plastic in the 3rd row.

Sort of funny to think that leather would be more expensive than a petroleum-based manufactured product. What does McDonald's do with all the skins?

What makes you think that "100% all beef patty" is real beef. I doubt there is any skin to begin with.

I did not pay $80,000.00 but new off the lot yes it was $76,000.00 before taxes. I got it for half off . Ok so there is fake leather I guess my next question is I thought it was all leather so I have been using leather conditioner on all my seats. I guess this is not a good idea then?

per instructions in my manual it said soap/water...the leather cleaner will work on front seats will still clean the vynil
