I would guess they are the same as XL. I’m hoping to be able to swap power seats in.

I had a van with vinyl seats and they suck when it's cold and when it's hot. The only thing that they are good for in my opinion is if you own the vehicle but never drive it yourself.

It's really just another way Ford is hamstringing the Pro so that nobody actually buys it but they can still advertise a low starting MSRP.

One excellent hack to make vinyl seats livable are those wooden beaded seat covers millions of taxi-drivers use for all day comfort. Save your money for the next truck or the electric bill.

I don’t think it’ll be likely but it would be awesome if the vinyl on the pro was similar to the marine grade vinyl on the broncos. I had that in mine and it was better than leather… here’s to wishful thinking..

The few YouTube video ride alongs of the Pro seem to indicate that the Pro seats feel good and are comfy. I do not expect them to be Platinum comfy, but I think they will be suitable.

Nice thing about the SR, you are not going to be behind the wheel for more then a few hours before you have to charge.

That's definitely true by calling it Vinyl. If they had called it "Vegan Leather" instead, it would be amazing that it was included on the pro...

The good news is that a heated seat retrofit isn't difficult to do. It's about half a day's worth of work to pull off seat covers and tap into the 12v for both seats for a first timer.

I'm just gonna take mine to the Asian lady from Fast n' Loud. Over the years, i learned a lot how Richard negotiates with her. So i'll try the same tactics to get mine wrapped in mink for $800.
