Seat cover debate

[Medgas24]

Anyone running seat covers? If so what brand I’m looking for waterproof durable seat covers. I ordered some from tiger tough but not to impressed since they send the wrong color and the wrong sized covers with loose stitches already!

I'll be following this thread myself.

As far as durable, I have Cabelas Trail Gear covers that are 10 years old and the are looking like it. They have held up great (farm pickup) and they are inexpensive. If you want something fancy, these probably aren't for you.

I'm running Rough Country Neoprene. Very reasonably priced, fit perfect and hold up great. Have had them on several pickups...pulled the set out of my last one and put them in my daughter's pickup and ordered a new set for my new truck since it had the split rear seat vs. the solid one.

I put over 200k miles on some wet okole neoprene covers then I tried the cover king which were cheaper and lasted just about as long. Both were made specifically for the truck not a trash bag fit like some I have seen. I have no idea how much either cost at this time but I felt either were good quality way back when I bought and used them

A side note I wanted neoprene for their waterproofing and they certainly were. However you spill drink in your lap it isn’t going into the seat at all it is going on your clothes. You pretty much have to scoop it out or soak it up somehow or it will just stay there. Cleaning them thoroughly you have to take them out.

I'm probably doing these for my 24 3500 before fall. Had them in my 98 Gen 2 and they worked perfectly. Stayed waterproof and looking good. Easy to wash.

Barryg: is the neoprene hot in the summer months?

I have had neoprene in my last three trucks. No it’s not hot in the summer and you don’t feel sticky sitting in it or anything like that.

I put Carhart Super Dux covers on my rear seats. They are really tough, and I think they will hold up to a lot of abuse. They also fit pretty well. The bottom cover goes on in a couple of minutes. The seat back cover takes a little more time, as you need to unbolt the seat back to get the best fit. They are water resistant, not water proof. They are expensive: I paid $466 after a 20% discount. If I were to do it over, I'd buy a cheaper seat cover. Straps to hold the bottom cover in place are sewn to the seat cover, and one of them is only half stitched; that's my only complaint regarding quality. I reckon I'll have to re-stitch that myself at some point.

I don’t recall them being overly hot or sticky

You could try Seat Cover Solutions, they have front and rear seat covers for under $400, almost Cordura or Neoprene like material, super easy to install too.

But do they fit nicely in both the front and rear seats?

You could look at Seat Cover Solutions, their seat covers are pretty waterproof and reliable, very cheap too. The best part is they are pet friendly as well.

Are there any seat covers that entirely replace the original ones? As in use the same j-hook/hog ring combination to fasten them to the foam/seat frame?

They fit very well and maintain all the stock functions (split fold seat, pull down arm rest, etc).
