Who or what has been sitting/laying there?  🤔

Just people - and not even that many at all.  The spots are very random.  Only a couple spots so far.  It almost looks like the sun faded it but that also doesn't make sense.

My blue jeans would 'dye' the light colored leather in my 2015. Thorough cleaning fixed it. The piping wore prematurely in my opinion, I make special effort not to slide in and out and the finish was wearing off anyways.

 

I hate cloth upholstery because it collects and holds dust in it. I hate our 'leather' upholstery because very poor quality.

This is the Denali ultimate.  If I have to worry about the same things you did on your 2015.... as you can imagine.... I'll be livid.

Ladies and gentlemen, please do not speak at or above this man, he drives a DENALI ULTIMATE and should not have to deal with such comments and irrelevant posts...

 

News flash, all brands have issues if used carelessly and not taken care of. Any search of King Ranch, Laramie Longhorn and even German luxury brands have forums of people with seats wearing. Take are if it and it will take care of you, if you slide in and out a ton well nothing won't show and wear.

Dang, if only there was a device I could use to suck up the dust... 

 

That is what I love about cloth, it is durable and easy to address any issues. I can vacuum it, if it gets bad a shampooer will deep clean it, they are lighter, more comfortable, less complex (no fans and cooling agents needed), they don't get near as cold or hot (they naturally breath and you don't stick or burn to it) and the maintenance is minimal to last a long time (no cleaner and conditioner needed). All I do is vacuum the seat when I vacuum the floors and that is pretty much it. Put a seat cover on when wet (which I do with leather too), it really is a great material and glad to see it making a comeback and be a premium option in some high-end brands like Porsche and Mercedes.

My wife’s 2011 Genesis seat looks brand new. No I don’t think there’re using better quality leather. She sits on a cushion. They make all kinds. The Honda with just 2 years of my butt is starting to show wear. The seats a little hard, I’m going to try one.

Not enough time with mine yet but I've owned 2 King Ranch Fords and the leather didn't stay perfect. I look at some leather variation as character. If it bugs you, it's worth a trip by the dealership. I suspect you could get it warrantied.

Realized my slightly discolored black leather spots are due to a family members over application of sun screen. I’ve gotten most of the white sunscreen out but still a noticeable spot. Not sure what cleaner to use that won’t further damage the fake leather. 
 

Your discolored spots could be due to lotion or sunscreen transfer.

At or above me?   You sound like a complete douche bag.  I don't care what level vehicle you buy - but when you spend $85k plus on a vehicle and it starts to have interior issues inside of 2000 miles that's a problem - idc who you are.  
 

re read the rules of this forum.  Don't be a dick for no reason douche bag.

Oh I definitely agree with ya there - no doubt about it.  But again.  2k miles it shouldn't be happening

...except that after you've finished vacuuming it - whack it a couple times and watch the dust fly.

 

Off topic, why have we not figured out a better floor covering for vehicles than carpet?

Your point? You have leather seats just like I do. I was dissatisfied with the color integrity of mine too. Thank GAWD i didn't spend $85K or I'd be really livid...

 

Good thing paying that much gets you out of the plebian problem bracket. I'd watch out though - that truck was painted in the same line as the lowly WT, sure hope none of the overspray got on it.

Look like something spilled or rubbed off someone's pants, possible say something like placing a hot pizza box on the seat could stain it like that perhaps. Know that this is gm and the seats even in a 100k denali truck will source the cheapest quality leather, and hell 50% of the seats are fake leather and not even real, only the seating tops are actual leather unless that has been changed but i doubt it.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
