theoldwizard1 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Just EXACTLY what part(s) the seats are the "trim" that is leather ? They used to have "leather seating surfaces", so I expect this is much less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but the "OLD definition !" still applies. For marketing purposes, it is now called "leather trimmed" instead of "leather seating surfaces". That is the correct information. Automotive manufacturers decided it sounds more upscale, for whatever their reasons. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The information I provided is correct. To paraphrase an old saying...Yes, all "piping" is trim, but not all trim is "piping". "Piping" is what they call "piping". Trim simply means part of something, as in not all. Leather trimmed seats refers to the parts of the seats that touch the body are leather. The rest (sides, rear face, map pockets, etc.) is not. This subject has been discussed often in the past. Including this thread located here, begun by member "theoldwizard" : "Leather trimmed seats" is just the newer marketing speak for "leather seating surfaces", as was discussed back in 2016. Good luck. Edited April 14, 2021 by bbf2530 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbf2530 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) Hi theoldwizard1. Additionally, since I am relatively sure you will not believe me alone, and to avoid a needlessly drawn out discussion, you can peruse these links: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=ford+leather+trimmed+seating+surfaces As with most information on the Internet, you will need to sift through the "opinions" and chaff to find the informative articles. Good luck. Edited April 14, 2021 by bbf2530 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKX1960 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) An upholstery shop is also referred to as a trim shop. Trim is just another term applied to upholstery. So, you could say leather upholstered seats Edited April 15, 2021 by MKX1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
