    I am in need of seat covers! I am leaning towards Marathon Seat Covers, but I have heard 50/50 good and bad reviews. Should I go with Marathon or something else??

    Headwaters also look really good. Really nice folks too and I think shorter wait time than Marathon

    My truck had Marathon Cordura Superhides when I bought it, they were green camo. Not a great look for my taste. So I dyed them black and they came out a really great blue camo. They fit well and seem to wear well too.

    I bought some Coverking Leatherettes for mine but they haven't came in yet. I'll post an update when they are installed.

    Put Carhartt covers in both Rav and my Tacoma, not the softest, but I love them.

    Had Headwater covers in my 2013 for 6 years when I just traded it in. Still looked good. It had my dogs in the back seat. Held up great. I have 2 -150 pound Great Danes. Well worth it.

    I've been eyeing Headwaters for my other truck for some time now, probably going to get a full set for the Tacoma in the near future and see how they work out. I do like the Cordura material, I have lots of gear made of the same material and it is very durable. I wish I had the $$ to buy a full set for both my trucks....maybe some day.

    I bought the Coverking tactical molle seat covers from Costco and they were junk. I had 3 separate seams tear just installing them and the fit was too tight. Now, I have a friend who has them on his FJ and they fit great with no issues. Costco was great and took them back with no questions asked. So maybe just a fluke?? I really want a set of these but cant find them in the states anywhere.

    I have the coverking molle seat covers in my first gen and they seem to be holding up pretty well after about a year but that truck doesn't get driven as much as my 14.

    What no one recommend Wet Okles? Put them on my 2013 Access, fronts only, in 2014 and have been very very pleased.....fit, wear, comfort, maintenance all outstanding.....
