leather seat owners

Got a question. I am about to order leather for my truck that is just like the factory leather. Come to find out, factory only puts leather on certain sections of the rear and matches the rest with vinyl. Can you guys tell the difference? I cant decide.

The price for all factory black is 650, and the price for all leather is 1300 + options. These are leatherseats.com seats that I will be installing myself, they are custom made so it will take like 1 month to produce.

My whole seat is leather but that is due to the fact that it is a 2010. Not sure about the 3rd gens.

I have leather and I've never noticed a difference. I'm gonna take a closer look after reading this though.

Let me know, because I just want to find this out myself as well.

Here are some diagrams they sent me:

Its different. When my father in law and I built my console.......he schooled me on leather vs vinyl. I forgot most of it, but know that the tops were the only thing that were leather - and the backs were pretty much all vinyl, just like the pic above.

Is it visually different though?

nah, I couldn't see the difference. My console was done in vinyl too, everyone thought it was leather.

sullivan · May 26, 2011

Yea, my sport edition cloth has a vinyl console. All my friends think its leather.

Think I may just get the factory leather then. Thanks guys

I got my colors picked out. am going with black leather with an insert that will match the dash (mineral grey leather). It will have red double stitching and ram logos sewn into the seats in red.

Nice choice. Exactly what I would get except for the logo. Haha. Maybe one day.

Tom when you're ready let me know, I'll give you my guys info. I would seriously consider vinyl vs leather. And they can upgrade the foam. I had mine done.

rennaissanceman · Jan 14, 2012

To be honest, I didn't know that there was any vinyl at all.

Vinyl feels and looks almost identical to leather. They showed me all the options.

Well Dan it will be a while before im able to do that...but i will keep that in mind. thanks...

I can tell the difference in my Sport model. I've the bucket seats and they are two tone. The dark grey center is leather and the outside sections that are light grey are all vinyl. Pretty sad I pay for a truck that says it has leather seats and only a third of the seat is actual leather. The vinyl has started to tear and I have a puncture in the leather section on my driver seat. I've been looking to replace both the cushion cover and the backrest cover with OEM type material but haven't found anything yet. I may end up going with Katzkin later.

Here are some pics of what mine look like:

HemiSport07 · Jan 20, 2012

^ I have the exact same seats as listed above and I wasnt very happy with the quality of the Leather neither, eventually I am going to look into Katskinz becasue that leather seems to be hard to get ahold of and pricey from where im located think I was qouted 750 just to do the bottoms of the two front seats and the pretty much just what you sit on is leather the rest is vinyl and I cant tell a difference. The upholstery shop tried to sell me on vinyl they said its less upkeep and outlast leather.

My '00 Ram seemed to have the same deal. Unless I was really upclose and personal trying to see a difference, I couldn't ever tell there was one.
