That wasn't what I expected from Katzkin, but you did a great job. It's easy to find a "review" where someone just had them put in and all is perfect, but a 5-year review is worth something. Thank you so much for posting this!
I just saw their ad but very skeptical about RUclips and Facebook ads being real. Yours was the first video I watched about them. Good information; thanks for posting.
Thank you for the review! The seats look great for 5 years of wear on a lifted truck. I think that the drivers side shows surface abrasion versus discoloration though.
I agree, they look great. Leather seems so good but I have an Expedition with pleather and they lasted a LOT longer than leather. I am in the market again for a used Expedition and they all need seats. Otherwise, they look good when all detailed up. Great share, thanks.
@@user-dr7uy4kj4y We went with the SEL Convenience package. Love it. It's really nice. The convenience package with the katzkin leather seats feels like a true luxury car.
I put a very light uv tint on my front windshield and I never had to worry about the heat inside and I live in south Florida. yes I know it’s illegal but you can’t notice it’s tinted.
Be forwarned most of the seats are mostly vinyl especially the back almost all vinyl now their ads even say leather trimmed even factory LEATHER are this way
Try on a weekly basis using a cleaner/conditioner on that leather. After about the 3rd week you should notice those white spots gone and the leather more supple and pliable. I too have a 3" Carli level, 37's on a F250 and with those tall Tremor boards from sliding in and out are starting to show wear on exactly those same spots.

After I got my leather seat upgrade in my truck, I bought a $25.00 "leather" seat bottom cover for driver's seat only since that side sees the most ass!! It's a cheap investment to protect that portion only since it seems to get the most wear and tear.
These types of "leather" seats are usually chromium tanned and treated leather. It's not veggie leather and they never actually last as long as we would like.
For my Dodge Challenger I was quoted $1,995 for two colored seats with installation included and then $1,695 for single color. They also have heated and cooled options to add. The price varies of course but there’s an idea of price at least.
Not true. Katzkin leather has a coating that protects … only has to be washed with water and ivory bar soap…. Leather conditioner penetrates deep damaging the protective coating making it shiny and then leather exposed dries out abstain of using leather conditioner. Clean with wet microfiber and let it dry out avoid humidity penetration. Mines have 4 years and still smell and look new. Check Katzkin recommendations on this
I just had my wife's car done and picked it up this morning (6 hours ago). Drivers seat feels slightly more firm than it did with cloth. Seats were very comfortable to begin with. I think they're only better now. The cloth felt cheap and stained easily. 2022 Toyota Highlander.
What Honda do you have if you don't mind me asking? I'm thinking about installing leather seats on my Civic, but not sure how much it cost and how well it looks.
On their site says "The estimated price to upgrade your vehicle with a professionally installed, premium Katzkin leather interior starts at $1795". I have it on my vehicle and it feels great. Definitely worth it!

Thinking about getting katzkin leather seats for my car and seeing this make me feel better about my purchase! Thanks!
every truck i have ever owned with leather all ways gets the driver side wear and that crinkle, they look great for 5 years, great video
Leaving my VW Tiguan tomorrow to install the new katzkin leather seats watching this makes me feel satisfied with my purchase ☺️
Awesome!
Hi, how did the install go and how'd the seats look?
@@robertoortega8398 there gr8
My wife has a 2020 cloth Tiguan how much did it cost you? And did you get the cooling and heating too thanks
Definitely something you don’t see. I forget to review things after a week, let alone five years. Glad I found this.

No holes snd tears after 5 years…thats pretty nice 👍

We just ordered katzkin seats for our new Palisade. Can't wait to get the car back! Thanks for the review.
We are thinking of getting a palisade!!! Did you just get the se model then?
@@user-dr7uy4kj4y We went with the SEL Convenience package. Love it. It's really nice. The convenience package with the katzkin leather seats feels like a true luxury car.
My buddy just got some installed last week. They look amazing.
So happy you said black gets hot in the summer! Not sure if thatll change my selection since I have no creativity!
I put a very light uv tint on my front windshield and I never had to worry about the heat inside and I live in south Florida. yes I know it’s illegal but you can’t notice it’s tinted.
This is honestly what I needed before I considered getting a katzkin

@@trainday
According to their site....
ALL leather
They aren’t
@@jxx123mines was I got the seat 100% leather!! Nothing fake about them at all…
I’m glad I got those on my 22 F 150
Thanks for this video

You tell those birds to shut their mouths. Also, great vid
Thats actually really good for 5 years

Yeah,, leather should wrinkle and show wear over time. Normal. Good review.
Held up good!
Thanks for the update
Great review after 5 yrs. The white spots are scratches in the leather.
Great video. They still look good
Yea look good still
Very helpful. Thanks
thanks for sharing brotha
Thanks for the video and great informations
Do you think the leather was worth it? I hate the cloth in my tundra
Yes for sure
These types of "leather" seats are usually chromium tanned and treated leather. It's not veggie leather and they never actually last as long as we would like.
di you do these yourself or have them installed
Does the kit also include leather for the headrests? Thanks! ..really nice truck BTW..
Yes my kit did as well as the center console cover but I didn't install it. Thanks!
Actually it's pretty good. Just wondering how much the installation cost you. Have a great one!
Me also.

you need to use a leather conditioner once a while. that leather is starting to dry out.
Yes you are are correct, I applied leather conditioner about once every six months or so. Maybe should've done it note often
@@danielmid6022 according to my cobbler it should be done every 2 weeks. Leather is pretty but high maintenance.
@@abdullahal-shimri3091 as well as vacuuming and detailing your interior that all goes together
@@dg7848 true. Window tinting also helps protect the leather. Even my windshield has a light tint 35%. My interior looks brand new.

Do you remember the shop you got it done at?
Good stuff
Did it change your comfort of your seats changing the skin? Are they softer to the sit vs what they were before you changed it?

I just had them installed in my Honda. What did you use to clean and condition them? I
Cool! MeGuiars leather conditioner

@@Alexander47048 I had my 2018 Honda civic hatchback ex like a couple of months ago with blue and cement frost leather
Nice!
Thanks for the video! Did you install yoursel? If so, how hard was it, any sewing has to be done? Thank again
No I didn't install but I'm pretty sure no sewing involved. The shop that installed it had it done the same day. Take it easy!
@@danielmid6022 how much did install cost you?
Use Zymol products on your leather.
Do you know anyone that got the heating / cooling option and how those held up?
I don't. But I'd be interested to know as well
They hold up better than that eco diesel motor...
Do you recall about what it cost to install ?
On their site says "The estimated price to upgrade your vehicle with a professionally installed, premium Katzkin leather interior starts at $1795". I have it on my vehicle and it feels great. Definitely worth it!
I don't know how you can drop 2,000 into seats when you can just buy brand new seats for cheaper...
Where do you buy new seats
100% real leather ?
I think only the center is leather, the sides and back are vinyl
@@danielmid6022 you can pay extra for 100% leather its a couple of hundred extra and well worth it
Leatherique
Looks like its vinyl.
Hmm
The product might be good but the company is terrible
It’s cheap material I would love to install red in my new car but I feel it’s a waste of money
Seats 💺 gonna outlast that piece of 💩 Ram 😂💀
