Default Confirming: Premier trim NOT leather?

The brochure says the stitched dash trim, armrests and center console lid are wrapped in a "soft-touch coating." I see many posts here calling it leather. I was going to get this option until Ford's wording struck me. If it were leather I would want it, but I don't think it is.

On my 2005, the dash, shifter boot, and center armrest are not leather. I added the full leather kit from redlineracing (boot, e-brake, center console) and just got leather armrest covers from mossmotors.

Nice move, thanks, I have been wondering if the aftermarket would fill this void.

I think the front 2 seats are the only thing leather. The back seat I beleive is vinyl as well as the arm rest and stuff. I had an F-150 with the upgraded leather interior and it was the same thing, front leather back vinyl.

The only leather parts, front and back, are the perforated parts that would be on the seat and the backrest areas.

Most companies don't use leather on the entire seat........not just Ford.

This thread is rather confusing, so... is it possible to get a leather covered dash board? Instead of the fake plastic with leather patern?

The armrest and center console are definitly imitation leather, but they are way better than fake plastic...
