Which do you prefer? Cloth or leather?

[26'in41]

Looking at ordering a 26' Mojave. Actually ordered it last week but no VIN# yet so still time to change my mind. Kinda up in the air with interior. I've had leather in the past and found them to be hot and sweaty even in the great white north. So kinda leaning towards the bolstered Cloth but heated for those winter months. Thoughts?

I do miss my heated steats and steering wheel from my diesel overland days. Thinking to facatory order to replace my 24 Sport and want those heated group. Wish we had more katzskin custom options from factory.

Leather is way easier to clean. Just a quick wipedown with a damp cloth versus dirt which permeates the fabric.

If you have a dog, you should avoid cloth. If you have a child, you should avoid cloth. Basically unless it's just you and a pet cactus, avoid cloth.

My opinion... i prefer cloth. I live where its 120* F in the summer, and leather is deathly hot unless you wanna just remote start ac all the time.
Also, winter... now you have ice cold seats that feel frosty. cloth is like sitting on cold jeans.

main reason id go leather, is if you deal with a lot of muddy shirts/pets and need easier to wipe off seating.

also, if this is a 5 year plus keeper... look at used cars with leather, more than half look like assss.

25 mojave here. cloth.

Easier to keep clean for sure.

I’ve had both… the leather is easier to clean but hot in the summer and cold in the winter.
I don’t have pets and my kids are grown so I went with cloth seats in my Mojave.

Leather. Combo of dust and my dog. I do regret my choice in black leather seats every summer. I bought it in winter and didn’t even think about it. If I could do it over again, it would be the light colored leather option.

If I have the choice, I go for leather.

Cloth, but with seat covers. I wear shorts even in the winter and leather is too cold. It's also too slippery for my dog. The best seats I've ever had were the Softex seats in 4 Runners. Some of them look brand new a decade later.

Leather....100%. Can Mojave still be had with the white leather? Wish I had that.

Mojave X are leather.

Mojave X are leather.

I know. Was referring to older Mojaves which could get black or white leather. Hell...maybe the white was only in cloth. It was cool.

The slipping forward I fixed with Seat Jackers.

White cloth would be a nightmare.
