Default Camel Interior

I'm considering camel interior for my 2015 Lariat. Any concerns with keeping it clean? I've only had black leather in past vehicles. I also heard bluejeans rubs off on some lighter leathers?? Thanks

I went with Camel on mine but it won't be here for a little over a week. I had a similar color on my 04 Explorer and after 11 years it still looks pretty good. If you work a job where you clothes are dirty when getting in the truck then maybe some seat protectors would be in order.

My '04 Lariat has tan (camel) leather interior and after all these years it looks nice. You do have to be careful about wearing new clothes that might transfer some of the dye - new blue jeans or something like a red t-shirt. Other than that I love a tan interior. I've spilled a few times on the carpet but some stuff called SPOT SHOT (a spray carpet cleaner) gets it out and you'll never know it happened - that Resolve brand does nothing... I have one car with black leather and it's so damned hot (like now!), I see dust everywhere and every piece of lint or gray hair shows... No more black interiors for me unless I don't have another choice.



After almost 12 years:

I love my camel interior, I keep a can of "tuff stuff" leather and vinyl cleaner in the garage, use it a couple times a year.

Camel interior is the whole reason I got a Lariat this time. I had two different platinums, a 2010 with gray and a 13 with black. I think this interior looks the best because there is a few different colors. Compared to just black and stainless in my 13 platinum. My only complaint is the black carpet but it's growing on me

I love the camel-creates a nice two tone interior look that is awesome. My 2013 had camel and I loved it. My 15 is the grey-which is better than the black but not my fav. Alas, buy off the lot and compromises must be made lol.

It was the reason I went with the lariat package, I like the look, very easy to keep clean...one draw back and why I won't have it on my new truck on order...its paint...no dye....paint...and a piece flaked off on my driver seat and the whole area around it looks like it will eventually do the same. It is not covered by warranty and is deamed damage from an outside source says my dealer who sent pics to Ford. I would not want to see that seat after 10-years of wear. No other seat in my truck has an issue, but no other seat has had much use in 6-months that I have had it...but it's sure pretty. Good luck
The dealership sells a leather protection package I think when you buy the truck. I could be confusing that with my wife's infinity. But I declined on both. You may consider it if offered

One more pic, look at the paint wrinkle with moderate pressure, seams to me it won't be long before that stuff starts breaking down...I am not an expert just an opinionated owner...
