The only drawback of these compared to the factory leather is that these don't have the AC function which I've heard is very nice. But I'm sure it'll eventually be available in the aftermarket at a reasonable price.
Here's the pics I took, hard to see where it's worn. I also somehow managed to scratch it in one spot.

I love my cooled seats. I wouldn't own leather without. Mind you, all seats in Canada are cooled this time of year.

It really isn't that bad not having cooled seats, although that would make it much nicer. The fact that they're so much easier to clean more than makes up for it.

Bummer about the wear on your katzkin.

I knew it would happen as I get in and out of my pickup constantly when I'm at work. Taking my steps off probably hasn't helped but I have to get myself into a new habit of getting in and out. If anything, I'm sure I could always get a new driver's seat set from them.

How are yours holding up?

When are you spilling the beans on the new hardware? Whens it going on? Im going to live vicariously through you since it looks like youll get to use it as they were intended!

Especially for a clean vehicle fanatic like me. I keep a Swiffer duster in the glove box. Whole.truck.gets dusted after every tour.

That wear is actually not too bad. The grey OEM Ford leather (same style as your Katzkin) in the Limited has blue staining all along the bolster from blue jeans. I guess that gives a whole new meaning to "bleeding blue"

Mine look almost good as new! Maybe the leather is different as mine looks grainier? I am careful about excessive sliding while getting in and out, but I do not avoid sliding altogether.
