It looks like this term ("Natura Leather") is where the confusion arises. You cite http://www.naturaleather.com/, which is NOT the manufacturer of Ram interiors.

Our trucks' genuine leather interiors are manufactured by GST AutoLeather, as stated on the tag below (attached to the seat of my Laramie Longhorn at delivery). "Natura Plus" is apparently a trim line of theirs, not to be confused with "Natura Leather":



This statement from their website summarizes it nicely: "...there is nothing artificial or synthetic produced at GST - only authentic REAL leather!"

Look closer at the picture I posted. The Longhorn tag talks about having “Natura Plus” genuine leather from GST AutoLeather...the same trim series that you highlighted on the Ram website for the Limited. And I’ve already pointed out that GST doesn’t do anything but real leather.

I’m not excusing them, by the way, for what sounds like a faulty dye or finishing treatment on your Limited. That needs to be fixed! But there’s no question whatsoever of whether these top-trim trucks are real leather.

Yeah that was the 1 thing I noticed when I sat in a Long Horn and Limited -- the awesome smell of real leather (I know my Laramie won't have it)

The Laramie comes with real leather. I’m not sure why you would think otherwise.

Sure didn't feel or smell the same in the one I sat in unlike the Limited and Longhorn .. I will find out when mine arrives I guess, thanks!

Since we are poppin tags, ...

But do you have $20 in your pocket?

I'm miffed - someone at the dealership took the tag off my leather seats and discarded it

I keep all the tags, window stickers, and other things that come with a new vehicle.

Yep - I recently found the window stickers to my previous two trucks, and I bet if I dig further, I'll find more stuff from previous vehicles. I'm pretty sure I have the digital watch Ford sent me when I bought a new 2000 Focus ZX3.

I do too, and you can imagine how pissed I was when I accidentally crumpled up my window sticker thinking it was trash in the back seat...

I'm still trying to figure out if I can iron it or steam it or something to return it to a more flat condition, lol

Contact your dealer and ask them to ask RAM to print you out a new one. It won't have the same "printed on" date, but should be identical otherwise. For some reason my truck came with 2 window stickers... and I have them both. I even got to peel them off their backing paper (I had always wondered what held the monroney on a window). They are identical except one says 3/5 and the other 3/8.

Is it too late to use the online link and get one and download it? it wouldn't be the same "sticker" version, though.

I didn't know about that option! I may in fact try it. Thanks,

Oh I definitely have my electronic window sticker. I'm just OCD when it comes to my vehicles. I order a $50 used owners manual and brochure for a 19 year old Audi that I had for like three months, just to sell it like a week later. But boy did it feel good to have everything all together for that short amount of time, lol.
