I have found leather stands up much better than fabric seats.I’ve never had a vehicle with leather.
I’m never going to wash off or even effectively brush off all the crap that I get covered in when working on the ranch. Nor am I ever going to do that before climbing into the truck after digging the vehicle out of a mud bog. Would leather survive me?
Has anyone who does a lot of work and play in mud, grime, dirt, etc., had experience with leather? How does it hold up? How does it hold up in a dry, hot, sunny climate?

As a mechanic I preferred it for my own personal vehicles because grease cleaned up far easier than scrubbing cloth material.
Even for my off-roading and getting muddy days, leather is my pick. Just rub it down with some amoral cleaning wipes once in an while and you’re done.

I really want to see bronze wheels on this color. (Hint, hint to anyone who could make that happen on a computer.)Saw this post on Reddit! https://www.reddit.com/r/ScoutMotors/s/TkHplEN1Uy
I prefer leather as well. I can't even remember a time I didn't have leather in my vehicles.I have found leather stands up much better than fabric seats.

Lighter color leather still holds up well. My kids are feral and my tan leather seats in two Land Cruisers survived them.I've had an even split of vehicles with fabric, and with leather. And, to be honest, both have had issues.
My 1997 Jeep, was splitting/cracking when I bought it (drivers seat, outside edge of the bottom seat cushion). And now, the seat back has also cracked/split, and is tearing. Its pretty bad honestly. The seatback has a big section that is maybe a few inches square that is just foam now :/.
BUT, the flipside, is my 2005 Mazda 6 Wagon had a cloth interior... that was also struggling. The drivers seat was torn/frayed on the left edge of the seat bottom, and the left edge of the left bolster on the seatback and the foam was crumbling out of it. Plus the headliner was sagging something fierce.
My current 2022 Hyundai Tucson has cloth seats, and honestly they're great. Clean up super easy, and have been holding up perfectly.
My brand new 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9 has perforated leather seats... and they're the light color. So durability is one of the things we're worried about with kids. But so far, so good (lol, its not been 72 hrs yet).
True that. Here in the land of sunscreen I have always ordered tan and grayish interiors until my current Lincoln. It has black interior and it shows wear, dirt and general grime much more than my previous vehicles. The vehicle is only 12 months old and I felt the need to clean the front seat leathers already twice, even with my strict no food or drink in my car; except take home on the rubber mat in the back seat floor.Lighter color leather still holds up well.

The one thing that comes to mind is if you choose black leather seats and have kids is sunscreen. It can be a pain to clean off on darker colors.
One benefit of an EV with a frunk: You can put the food in the frunk and keep it and its smell out of the cabin.True that.

Belive you me I have already thought about all the great uses of the frunk. Especially carry-out food.One benefit of an EV with a frunk: You can put the food in the frunk and keep it and its smell out of the cabin.![]()
Same. That color is called Tahitian Red. I’m still holding out hope for YELLOW, but if no yellow at this point it’s between Tahitian Red and Pacific Mist.I thought I loved the "burnt orange" but this is insanely slick color combo. Nice job Scout.
I’ve had leather and vinyl and am as blue collar as they come. My last truck went cloth and my work truck went cloth.I’ve never had a vehicle with leather.

Exactly. I have black leather in the Wrangler and that Clear Lidz roof so I got official MOPAR covers for the front seats. Leather protected, seats don’t get hot.I’ve had leather and vinyl and am as blue collar as they come. My last truck went cloth and my work truck went cloth.
I soooo miss my leather. The cloth in work truck is stained (lunch and breakfast). The cloth in Ram wearing at seams.
Leather and vinyl just holds up and cleans better.
Yes HOT in Summer may want to cover
I love the wood interior, but I don’t know why, but the black fabric looks very goodAs promised, here is the first new color, Pacific Mist, on the Traveler and the first part of the retheme. A few of the details include new Pacific Mist paint in a shade of blue. The original reveal wheels are now black, matching well with the new black roof and black door handles. Also new are concept multi-function roof rails, giving a hint at future roof-mounted accessories.
The design team decided to push the envelope with an interior finished in a Terracotta leather and "denim-inspired" fabric. In person, it looks good with this exterior color. I'll snap some more pictures here in New York and post them later.
