Ford uses real, split leather. They can’t say “Leather” and not really use leather, these days. What I wasn’t expecting, was they grey material between the centre cushion and the brown.

To my eyes it seem the only difference between the OB and the BL is that grey material. The brown and black leather seems identical. They simply used the grey material on the OB to give a slightly different look. Likely it was also a cost saving measure.

The top section of the Bad Lands seats are brown, which I like better. As soon as my dealer gets their parts info, I may look at switching them,.

My wife and I are in a disagreement about the interior of OB vs BL. I like the BL leather and she likes OB pier navy. We test drive a Big Bend with cloth and manual seats as no other trim available in Va to drive. Definitely need power seats as manual not comfortable.
How are power seats more comfortable? do they not move the same? just one is power?

So are the EB/leather trim seats in the OB+OB the ones with the suede upper portions? I was under the impression that’s what I’m getting on my order. The gray fabric looks ok as well, but I liked the other one better. Should be delivered in about 3 weeks, bit I’m curious after reading this.

I would have gotten the BL but the Navy Pier interior wasn't an option and I just loved the look of it too much. Don't love brown/black mixed interiors.

If you can access to Badlands without BL options sit in power drivers set and adjust it. Then sit in manual passengers seat in the same car. On a 2000 mile trip we switched drivers about every 200 miles and there is definitely a difference. Whether holds true comparing to other models I don't know, the power seat had a definite - to me - more comfortable seat bottom tilt as it was moved which the manual seat did not. My conclusion was the seat motion is different between the two seats, the obvious power versus manual controls not withstanding.

Shults Ford south . Goes very good with the trim . Mine was ordered about a year ago this month I picked it up last March 10 . Sharp color. It looks like there going to be a little faster on shipping. By the way the blues are darker than the picture shown .

They are all probably the same seats with different color trim . Electric vs Manual , are probably different , because they ARE different seats.
