Looks good, I was thinking about doing this at some point. Probably will get a little wear out of the cloth seats then do it as a refresh down the line.

Dealer charged me $1200 on paper but I got them to give an extra $1000 for my trade so didn't feel it was a bad deal.
I'd say $1,200 installed is a great deal. Best I've seen on eBay is $600+ just for the Katzkin's. Everything I've read suggests guys DIY one seat a day and struggle to do so.

Very close to pulling the trigger on this myself. I'm trying to decide about two-tone and piping options to break up the black interior a bit. I'll be asking these Q's of the dealer shortly, but did you have any of these options to chose from with the Deluxe Katzkin you have or do you have to upgrade to the Tuscany? Install time?

I showed my Dealer the one picture I found on the net of what I wanted and the Parts Department ordered it. They had no idea it was even available until I asked about it. The Dealer scheduled the install with an authorized Katzkin installer. The Katzkin leather was shipped to installer and I dropped my truck off on a Saturday morning around 8 am. It was finished my 3pm same day.

I’m very interested in doing this to my truck if they can match the $1200 price point for me.

I need to do the front and rear lights first, though, as the cloth seats are only six months old. They have plenty of life in them, but it will be an upgrade for sure.

I’ll be watching this thread with a keen eye! :)

So you paid $1200 but it would have originally ran $2200? Just trying to get a feel on cost since $1200 sounds like a great overall deal considering the material and the installation.

I think $1800 is close to retail price, probably depends on what part of the country you live.

Awesome! I still think around $2000 is an epic price for this.

Do you keep your old seats or do they keep them?

For what it’s worth, my dealer was unwilling to go anywhere else on his dealer discount on the purchase price, but he offered to throw in the Katskinz at his price. $1,000 plus tax installed. I was out the door for $1,065 here in Florida. I did the black factory match with the silver stitching. No upgrades. Love it! Far superior to the cloth. All come with a 3/36K warranty.

They use the same seats, they just take the fabric off and replace with leather covers. I'm sure the fabric is toast after they get it off.
