When is a leather interior not leather??

How about when it's installed on a bottom-trimline work truck?

I'm willing to be wrong on this, but what are the odds of a "leather" interior in a ST trim truck??

Refer to ad here:

Didn't all the trucks with vinyl flooring come with "leather" seats??

At least the dealer doesn't have "honest" in his name. I don't think they are intending to mislead-- they're probably just QUITE ignorant!

My father tends to call vinyl seats leather. He scored me an excellent donor truck ('86 w150) with rubber floor and vinyl seats and said 'look, it's got leather seats, just like yours!' I wish, pops

i have an st model truck with vinyl flooring. my seats are vinyl. i believe them to be more durable than leather. my wife's truck is a year newer than mine-with leather. her seats have the normal creasing and wear and tear that goes along with leather, plus her leather seats are cleaned and treated with leather conditioner on a regular basis too!. my vinyl seats look brand new! no creasing of the vinyl, no signs of any wear!! plus, all i use to clean up my seats is a damp cloth.

I thought this post was referring to how Laramie means vinyl instead of actually leather... For the most part

Often, interiors are described as having "leather seating surfaces". All vinyl except where your rear end touchs it. Leather seats? Hmmm.
