    Uhhhh leather is suppose to crease....unless your crease is like on the verge of somehow ripping. Ever wear Jordan’s all of them crease....so.... only way to stop it is to not drive your truck.

    Not ripping. I work at an industrial facility and I wonder if that has to do anything with it. I'm a painter and i deal alot with fiber glass. Any recommendation for some seat cover at big box stores for now?

    Can you provide a picture? Never heard of anyone put seat covers over leather but clazzio makes leather seat covers.....

    Only thing you can really do is buy some leather conditioner.

    Stock and staying that way
    Leatherique or similar products will swell it, making it less obvious, but it is just part of leather.

    I don't have a truck like yours but I did buy a Lexus RX350 new in '16 and here, over two years later, I have two creases that developed in the area on the leather at the front of the seat between my legs. I'm 220lbs.-I'm a sorta big guy but shit-220lbs isn't all too heavy I would think. Incidentally, I got banned from the Club Lexus site cause some asshole there told me to lose weight when I posted in there about this and I got into a thing with a snarky mod in there trying to get asshole's post removed. Been on the 'net since 2007 and the only place that I ever got banned from.
    Anyways, bottom line about creases-it falls under the "patina" category due to use. This is a normal occurrence and not to be corrected. It's part of the "personality" of the leather.
    Sorry for the Lexus forum rant but it was unfair.

    You have crease like this if so that’s normal...enjoy your truck.

    What worries me about putting covers over leather is they tend to put the squeeze on certain points in the leather as you sit on the seats. This causes worse wrinkles than with no covers and you tend to not feed the leather with product like you should when they're covered.

    Ask a memeber on the forums to swap seats! I’m sure someone here would take some leather seats over fabric seats!

    If I put seat covers over my factory leather seats, that center console is going to be real tough to open and close.

    Stop sliding in and out of the truck. It's hard not to with the cab dimensions, but that will keep this from happening.

    I have a pair of these on my seats. I have the black ones but you have leather so these will match a little closer in color.

    Carhartt makes some nice covers but that is not going to stop the leather from creasing. For the most part, all leather seats do that over time. So long as you put a good dose of conditioner on them a couple times a year, you really have nothing to worry about.

    Yes, they will help you to be able to sit DOWN onto the seat.

    You need sliders, then you can get into your truck like getting on a horse- left leg up first and swing in- no more seat rubbing with your butt as you get in.

    Leather is going to crease over time. Its life.

    Best thing to do is keep it conditioned. Leather should be soft and plush not hard.
