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.Ford uses real, split leather.

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,.To my eyes it seem the only difference between the OB and the BL is that grey material.

It is real leather, just not entire seat on the OB.So what’s the consensus? Do we think this is real leather or not? Again I’m actually hoping for the fake stuff.
How are power seats more comfortable? do they not move the same? just one is power?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.
See attached for differences.How are power seats more comfortable? do they not move the same? just one is power?
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.How are power seats more comfortable? do they not move the same? just one is power?
Congratulations I too have the navy pier interior with a cactus gray . Also from Pittsburgh, enjoy . WelcomeI 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.
