True. But leather seems to be about the same, judging by used vehicle seats.

 

The XL is only available with the gray. I REALLY wish Ford, along with pretty much every other automaker, would offer a beige/tan interior color as an option on a base-model truck. I know "work trucks" aren't supposed to be fancy, but offering a beige/tan interior would be a nice bone to throw us, at least. Heck, IMO, beige/tan interiors look nicer with white trucks, anyway... same with black trucks.

 

I'm fairly certain that all of the XL's on my local dealer's lot have the vinyl, though I am going to get one with cloth, for two main reasons. One, on cloth you don't slide around as much, and two, cloth doesn't get as hot or cold as vinyl does, in very hot days or cold nights/mornings.
