Leather or Cloth?

What's your choice?

I can't stand Leather in the least bit, Cloth all the way!

Cloth for me, but for a pure work truck I'd have to say vinyl (where is that choice?). Leather is too nice for a work truck and not durable enough to stand up to jumping in with pliers on your belt often. I also like the way cloth doesn't get real hot or cold when its been sitting. Much quieter, doesn't squeack. I guess I'm not part of the upity crowd not liking leather, but I don't care, I'm driving a truck for pete's sake!

leather.. cloth is for nasty work trucks..

you will never beat the feel and look of real leather seats..

plus your dress pants don't twist around your ass when you slide out unline with cloth seats

Does GM really make Leather. I always thought it was vinyl with leather trim?

Well I have had both. My old GMC had leather, and my Silverado has cloth. While I did like the leather, I think cloth is much better. Especially since I live in this hellish desert. It is nice to be able to sit down on my seat when it is 120 out and not fry my butt; of course I can't touch anything else in the truck (plastic, steering wheel, etc) because it is 140+ degrees inside the truck, but at least my butt won't fry anymore.

I picked cloth, but I like leather better in cars. Leather is great because it's easier to clean. But for some reason I just don't like the look of it in trucks.

I like Leather, it's very LT'ish

Paco, made me say it

gm doesn't use real leather... I'm talking about R E A L LEATHER the ones that classic trim uses on their seat cover replacements... nothing says luxury more than that

I like both! I specifically ordered my 95 Blazer as a cloth (deluxe cloth nonetheless!) simply cause it's NOT trying to be a luxury vehicle. However once I bought a Bravada (which had leather standard) I kinda got spoiled by it and as such all my trucks since then have been leather.

With that said, the only vehicle now in the driveway thats cloth is the Camaro. Otherwise the Tahoe, Silverado and Aurora are all leather.

Well I had cloth in my old minivan, and now that my Blazer has leather it's leather all the way.

Well Its Cloth For Me Im Sorry But Leather Dosent Belong In A Truck.

If You Want Leather Buy A Suv. :baa:

I thought I wanted an LT for a long time cause I love the leather in my wife's car. But then I drove an LT the other day and "no sir... didn't like it".

The interior in this truck was tan and with 26k on it it looked pretty abused. To bad the cloth dosen't come with more color choices.

I will admit I love the leather on the new RAMs :blush:

Cloth for me, in cars and trucks. My parents last three cars have had leather, and I don't really care for the feel, smell, or the look of it.

For me, no way are you going to find leather in my truck. Just don't seem right for a truck IMO. I like my trucks with the upgraded cloth bench seat (prefer a 40/20/40 split). I even kind of like a vinyl floor covering for my trucks, thats always the dirtiest part of the interior of my truck and you can't beat how easy it is to clean. Nothing wrong with carpet on the floor just need to have good floormats.
