This is the first vehicle I've owned with leather seats. they are still in great shape, and I'd like to keep them that way. What, if anything, should I be using on them to keep them looking good. Also, these are the heated and cooled seats that blow cold air up yer butt, if that makes a difference...

1st thing- when you and or your wife/passenger exit the truck, don't use the seat like a slide at the local fun park. Step out of the truck.

2nd just drive the truck, leather seats seem to be more durable these days.

I use Mothers leather conditioner about once a month, be warned for a day or so after you treat them they will be very slick...

Just a warm semi damp cloth to clean them and a good leather conditioner once every few months will keep most seats in good shape.

If you find something that works let me know. Try as I might, they always seem to develop cracks after about the fifth year of ownership.

I hear Lexol is good. And Aerospace 303 is good, but I cannot remember if it is for leather or just regular interior cleaning.

I use Lexol cleaner and conditioner. Works great on real leather.

I also use it on boots and it will make an old dried our pair look like brand new.

GM owner? Reason I ask is that I never had a GM product, other than one Pontiac , that the leather seats didn't rip,, tear or crack.

I think it's X number of times in and out over age. I am in and out a lot and always wear out the leather on drivers door edge, and the heel of my boot wears a hole in the spot under the pedals.

I got neoprene seat covers...waders basically.

I also was reading about everyday household items to use for different things. They said use olive oil. I have not tried it.

I wondered if other vehicles leather wore like GM vehicles do. I have a 2014 Z71 I bought new. I never slid out of the truck. Step on my step bar and out. My drivers seat is already showing signs of stress and I use leather care pretty often.

That was my thought. My 2011 Silverado is starting to show some stressed places on the driver side. I figure duct tape will fix it when there's a hole finally there.

Well I aint got nothing new to drive but the 12 year old leather seats in my truck still look fine and I promise, you can't abuse them worse than mine have been abused. There is a great big hole on the edge of the drivers seat but that's not because I haven't taken care of them, that's because my fat butt has been climbing in and out of it for 11 years.
