Not a wrecked totaled truck that the air bags went off on. But here on the coast you would get a salt water damage vehicle. Doesn't mean the vehicle was totally submerged. Could of been only 3 feet of salt water totals a truck. Water barely covering the floor boards.
I had the dealer add leather to the entire truck for $1k. It is a very thick black leather (Roadwire). It made a HUGE difference to me in the overall quality.
Just added Katzkins 2 weeks ago and very glad I did. I sold my cloth back to the dealer to recoup on the seat install. Got the seats off of Amazon for $550, $600 for install less $150 returned so around 1K. I have talked to multiple people that had the dealer install and finance for around 1k also.
are the leather seats that dealer installs different than what would come in truck if equipped w/ it from factory?? i have had a couple quotes from dealers for $1200 to $1300. just wondering if the katskins would be better quality
From what a lot of dealers, and Katzkin dealers have told me, most leather that the dealers have installed are Katzkin or Roadwire seats.
Volume dealer install price is normally $1000 to the Ford dealer.
So is $1200 about the going rate for Katzkins from the dealer? I'm inclined to go this route since they are probably more experienced with correctly disassembling/reassembling the F-150 (although come to think of it, I have yet to really be impressed by a Ford dealer's work). Called my nearest dealer Bob Tomes Ford, and they quoted me $1500 to do it....
this is what i have been told also, they sub it out to another company. the dealers i have dealt with havent ever told me who that is. but after researching it, i have found it to be the local katskin dealer.
When I got mine done, the 2 local ford dealers were bringing the in and out like bees going back and forth to their hive. The Shreveport Katzkin dealer does a huge volume install for local car dealers. You also get the 3 yr 36,000 when installed by a Katzkin dealer.
