I have an XLT 302a package, those only come with cloth seats. Katzkin takes the fabric seats off and replaces them with leather. Search the forums on here and you can see other people had it done also. A lot of dealerships install Katzkin also.

What did it cost in total for you? Thanks!

I had Katzkin installed on a Dodge SLT pickup a number of years ago and it held up fine.

Seats, tax, and install was $1,660.00.
I guess that price says they're not junk. They look "factory." Hopefully they are as/more durable.

I drove a demo Lariat '21 Hybrid and preferred those cloth seats to the Platinum lay-flat seats, but ventilation is the thing that makes a big difference in comfort. I don't understand why none of the seat OEMs and carmakers have built a ventilated seat that works.

The thing that makes a big (huge) difference to seat comfort (for long haul driving) is beaded seat covers … they look a bit "grand pa" or New York taxi driver, but it's worth it for the cooling and spreading out the seat cushion pressure points for long drives (they slip on in 5 seconds, so I just put them on when I'm loaded the truck for a long trip.)
