What material comes in this model year? I've got a 99. I always thought it was leather, but when i talked to upholstery shop, they told me its vinyl. They said it holds up longer and is much cheaper. I assume only high end maybe even escalades use "real" leather?

Mine have leather, not high end leather but leather that meets my needs. I am not sure if there was a Vinyl option or just leather and cloth

Most manufacturers use leather on the parts that touch your butt and back. The rest is vinyl.
When I've been in my moms 06 suburban and my brothers 06 trailblazer, they both feel like mine. i thought real leather would feel soft and giving. mine feels somewhat hard and plasticy. I mean does GM invest in REAL leather? Seems expensive. Thanks for yalls help. I want to make sure I get the best option
They are leather on the seating surfaces which ends at the seams. It's nonsense that vinyl is better than leather. The thin vinyl on the sides of those seats is weak and thin and fails early. When I replaced the leather seat covers in mine I had them make up the cover in all leather. The aftermarket leather looks great and looks better than oem.
