How are the orange accent packages holding up?

[Idaho]

Hey all.

Been shopping for a couple of months now for a Raptor and found a nice one with the orange accent package, a 2017. I am curious how that orange leather and alcantara between the accent and leather seatbacks are holding up now that they have been out there for a bit.

I am quite concerned about the longevity of it as I hope to not buy another truck until it dies and I also have a baby due in December so it would have to survive a kid and all the associated mess.

I tried searching this section of the forum first but no result. Perhaps I just wasn't using the right key words and I apologize if this has been covered before. Google only returned threads from here discussing if they the package was worth adding to new purchases.

Thanks for the help and feedback.

I have the orange accent package. Going on 2 years. Other than the strip on the steering wheel getting dirty like everyone else's, mine still looks like new.

Mine seats still look new. Orange strip on steering wheel has wear but was the same on my gen 1.

Thanks for the replies. I hope to get out to see one in person soon before I make a 9 hour drive to checkout the one I was looking at buying.

I have it as well, still looks new at 34k. The key is just keeping it clean just like anything else.

Same here - 3 yrs. and 37k and still looks like new.

The orange is not leather, it is pleather. It wears pretty well, so just wipe it with a damp microfiber, and a mild cleaner if necessary, to keep it clean.

The only place there is alacantra is on the bottom and side bolsters on the front seats, but as you know those are heavy drag areas for entry and exit. Be sure to wipe them frequently with a microfiber and mild cleaner to keep them clean and maintain the piling, and they'll wear just fine.
