Lazy question. Can you get lumbar support if you don't get leather?

Lazy question. Can you get lumbar support if you don't get leather? I could go through 27 steps in Miniusa for this or somebody out there can answer it quickly. Do you have to order leather to get the lumber support **** controls on the seats?

Adjustable lumbar is only with leather. Sport seats have a more aggressive fixed lumbar that normal seats, in either cloth or leatherette material.

You can get adjustable lumbar with the with the cloth/leather option as well...which will save you somewhere in the $500 range.

I have the black leatherette option which has built-in lumbar support (non-adjustable). I am 6'4" and the lumbar is very uncomfortable for me after about 20 minutes of driving. In retrospect, I wish I had gone for the leather option instead and had the ability to adjust the lumbar support.

Take it from somebody with the leather seats. I rarely crank in any lumbar support. I just don't find it that helpful... maybe more on long trips. But it only has one adjustment. There is no vertical (up and down) adjustment. A bit of a disappointment... but I do like the leather.

To clarify the question.

To clarify the question.....Can you get adjustable lumbar support on non-leather seats? I'm hearing "no".

You're hearing correctly.
You cannot get adjustable lumbar support unless you get leather (or leather/cloth combo) seats.
