Love my Katzkin. No issues at all with them. I have had them installed now for approximately 2 years. Also in a Big Horn package.

I also in December had Katzkin leather installed just like these seats in my 2012 RAM Crew Cab front and back by the dealership I purchased my truck from. Excellent investment for my truck. Total was $1,148.36. Took 4 hours and they picked up and delivered at my work.

Those Katzkins look nice. I had never heard of Clazzio covers prior to seeing them mentioned in this thread. They also look really nice. For me personally, it would be a tough choice between the two. Good luck to OP on making a decision.

Oddly enough, I had OEM leather in my previous RAM. It held up well and looked good, but the older I got the more I disliked my buns getting cold in winter. And I'm too poor to afford heated seats! :p For my current RAM, I specifically chose cloth. I don't drive much and I'm usually the only person in my truck, so the cloth doesn't get dirty...and my buns don't get cold.

I grew up with two brothers who worked at their dad's upholstery shop. I've hung around their shop and seen how much work it is to install seat covers. Consequently, if I ever decide to install leather covers at some point in the future, I would pay for installation! I'm sure I could do it myself, but it looks to be a time-consuming pain, and I would probably always be critical of my work.

Had my Katzkins installed in my Lone Star before I took delivery. So far I’m very impressed with them.

I had them installed in my 2015 1500. They were pretty awesome and I was able to pick stitching colors (Blue for law enforcement) :). And leather patterns. I seriously think the quality is better than the OEM. I was lucky that a friend of mine works a a dealership so I got an awesome price. Sorry I couldn’t find any pictures. I know I took soon. :/

I love my Katskiz's!! 2nd truck I've had them put in. I can turn a wrench but I'm not about to try and tackle leather.

My vote is for Katzkin, they fit really well and the quality is always talked about when brought up.

I miss the leather seats and Navigation I had in my Tundra. Is it worth installing leather seats into my 2014 Ram Big Horn? What can I replace power head with for navigation. Only 62,000 miles in mint condition. Love everything else about my Big Horn.

There are several placed here in Houston that convert entire vehicles from cloth to leather. The on I've used several time installs a very high quality product for under 2 grand, AND all of it is leather, not just seating surfaces trimmed in "pleather". I've always been pleased!

What color Katzkin is the closest match to the grey center console lid?

If you have a Ram dealer (or Katzkin) near you the parts department should have a Katzkin sample book that you could try and match? I know my dealer had one anyway.
