Hey everyone! Have any of y’all had your seats reupholstered, and if so did you use Katzkin? I bought a new XLT this year at a great price and the only dream I had to give up on was leather seats. I’d love to upgrade to leather in the future and Katzkin seems like the way to go, but I’d love to hear your thoughts and opinions and suggestions.
Thanks!

Check out the f150forum. Lots of guys have done this.
Most people seem pretty happy, but note it’s a lot of manual labour if you want to save a few bucks and do it yourself.
Yea I’d have a shop do it, they are going to be more experienced and be able to perfectly stretch it out which should look better and last longer.
Thanks y'all. Katzkin has a spot nearby where they install it. I don't think I would want to do it myself, too expensive and too much at stake
Before you decide to go leather just remember that it is firmer than cloth, gets hot in the sun but is easier to clean
Doesn’t it soften a lot over time and use?
If you're replacing the seat covers it would be a great time to install heated seats as well. Kits are cheap.
Ay, I have the katzkin leather (it came free with my XLT!!!) it’s very nice! I have already spilled stuff on it and it is super easy to clean/I don’t think stains very easy. It doesn’t make the seat any softer, mind you, but it is super easy to clean and it looks really good. Katzkins also comes with free 3 year warranty as well. It fits right as well so it looks like it’s from factory!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing
