I am looking at picking up a 2020 silverado 1500. I want the Crew Cab (without the under seat storage) So I can flip the seats up and put my tool packouts in the back, and then put the I dont care if it gets stolen items in the bed. (Might get a shell if I cant find one that has it on it). But finding leather seats has been a pain.
Would replacing the seats with leather be difficulty or too costly? I have heard about katzskins, and would do those if it was not too expensive, (like i figure $2-3k for a full replacement of mid leather).
Also, is there any real benefit to a short box, vs standard, vs long bed? Aside from the obvious of being able to put more stuff in the back.
I dont have a fifth wheel, but I plan on buying a standard camp trailer sometime in next 5 years maybe, nothing too big. I pretty much would only use my bed for some materials, nothing over 6 feet really, maybe some 8 foot 2x4 buts thats it. Throw camping gear in the back.
Ive heard that you get a smoother ride with longer beds, but the trade off of parking and driving doesnt feel like it would be worth it
