Looking to get some nice seat covers without paying too much

Saw these that had decent reviews. Was wanting something leather, doesnt have to be real leather, that looked nice and was durable enough to handle my dog sitting in them. Welcome to any other suggestions if anyone has some.

Nice, and inexpensive don't go together when looking for seat covers. Imo, you get exactly what your paying for.

 

Here's my honest review on them.

I bought those and returned them after one week of use. My driver's lower seat cover would not stay in place no matter how I cinched them. The lower seat also did not 100% cover the seat, you could always see a seam where it meets the upper cover. That's not just a cosmetic issue to me - that means that the covers are not protecting the one spot where dirt naturally gravitates on a car seat.

I've mentioned that before - some people disagree with my experience and say their covers did not "ooch" or inch forward with use. Read the reviews on Amazon carefully. Some people mention this issue, others have no problem. Feel free to roll the dice on that.

Another issue that bugged me and admittedly it's a really minor one - the headrest covers. They fit a little on the baggy side and don't have a way of buttoning up underneath. Most people won't notice that, but I did. Every time I got in the truck those headrests screamed "look at me, I'm a cheap cover."
That doesn't bug most people, but I'm weird. It bugged me.


I wound up spending the extra coin and got Clazzios (low end PVC) after failing at the LuckyMan covers. Overall I'm much happier. The difference between the two is night and day.

 

Clazzios are a little too much for me. Also don't really want to wait up to 12 weeks to get the colors I want.

 

I agree with the above post, you get what you pay for. Here are my pictures: take them as you will and decide if you're ok with it.

I'm not saying don't get the Luckymans, I'm just saying these are the flaws, decide for yourself if you can live with it.

Here's what I mean by the driver's cover scooting forward on me:






Compare that against the clazzio :





For the minor issue of the headrest, I took this photo after I removed the LuckyMan and installed the clazzio: note how the clazzio has a flap that buttons up underneath wheras the LuckyMan would hang like a bag:




And here is the LuckyMan ideally installed. Again, look at the seams.





Compared against the clazzio installed:





And that's just the bottom of the barrel cheapest line of Clazzio.



Again, go with your gut. If you're ok with the imperfections of the Luckymans, by all means, go for it. Just know that they will look like covers. The devil is in the details.

 

You can buy black or grey clazzios on ebay for around $300-350

 

Caltrend neoprene.

Leather seat covers look ghetto

 

Will the dog always be in the back seat area? If yes, consider a back seat full length waterproof cover for dogs that simply hangs from the rear seat headrests. I got one for like $30 bucks on Amazon and it's great! When you don't need it, it takes about 2 minutes to remove it. But between my toddler age grandson and my Doodle dog, it pretty much stays back there all the time.

 

I vote clazzio

they have coupon codes. Wait times can be long but worth it if you only have to do it once

 

He normally stays back there when I'm driving, but if i get out to go do something he usually moves to the front seat. I might get that in addition to a cover tho

 

Anyone use Marathon seat covers?

 

$176 Rough Country Neoprene Seat Covers for Toyota Tacoma (2016-2023) - Waterproof & UV Resistant, Foam Padded, Front & Rear Seat Cover Set

+1 for RC. Dont let the name bother you. I know people here hate RC like “hawaiian style” trucks. Awesome fit/quality neoprene covers.

 

I am not sure what "too much" is...these were $520 for full set. I feel like that is too much for seat covers but they feel very nice, tough and snug.

Seat covers unlimited.

 

Well, those are hypnotic.

 

I refer to the style as "old man southwest"...picked it because it looks like it will help me get out of speeding tickets.

 

I installed the RC Neoprenes as a stop-gap measure until I could decide on Katzskin/Clazzio. 20K miles and One + year later, they look new - like the day I installed them. Going to keep these until they die, which may not be for a long time!

 

I'm waiting on my 5th Tacoma, in my lifetime to arrive (I'm 75). Ive used "Marathon" seat covers on all and Never had a problem or complaint! They are made to order, so there is a waiting period......

 

I installed a set of the Luckyman Club and wasn't expecting much out of them but so far they meet my needs and look pretty good.

 

If you get pulled over for speeding with those on, the officer will assume the truck is stolen.
