    A new leased 2021 Off Road Premium coming in a couple weeks. When I get a new car I really like to grab seat covers for the front to keep it nice for a few years. Occasional crumbs, sub bleaching, husky hair, etc. :)

    I don't need/want the most expensive or fanciest seat covers. Just want something not too expensive that will keep the front seats pristine for a while.

    What do you guys recommend? (and if they're available on Amazon, even better)

    Thanks!

    Blacked out badges, window deflectors, smoked 3rd brake light. I have a Borla muffler on order as well as some color matched engine cover stickers. I'll be painting the stock wheels soon as well. Falken tires in the fall as well.

    You can order Carhartt seat covers on Amazon, they are pretty good covers.

    I don't know what you consider expensive or fancy, but I love my Wet Okole covers. About $300 for the front. I had them in my '08 too and they were great.

    Speedmaster...smart on the seat covers. I do the same thing. fyi...I'm copying this over from another post I made recently...

    I use and really like the SeatShield EliteSport. I have SofTex seats, so when I don't want the driver's seat covered, I just keep it folded up in the seat pocket on the back of the driver seat. I also have one for the passenger side. When I DO want it however, it's a quick deployment and I can use the seat in comfort regardless of weather conditions or how dirty I am. My only criticism of the product is that it's not a super sleek fit, but I suppose I could address that with a bit of elastic. It just hasn't been worth the effort to me because I only use it maybe 20% of the time, and usually only for short periods. Here's a link if you're interested in looking into it further:

    https://seatshield.com/collections/.../elitesport-seatshield?variant=18594423570547

    For $40 each it's a pretty nice solution for my needs.

    I wish Bartact made 4Runner seat covers; had those on previous jeeps (back when they were Trek Armor), and they are great. Great fit, water and stain resistant, tear/abrasion resistant, no fading... but alas, I don't think it's going to happen (they do make them for Tacoma's now, so maybe there's hope).

    Aside from that, I would probably just go Wet Okle or Coverking, but would opt for a cordura over neoprene if the option exists.

    Bumping this up for other opinions.
    Just got a 2018 TRD Offroad Premium and looking to protect front seats, bench seat and rear cargo area from pet damage.
    Most of the time the bench seat will be folded flat.
    I've put Wet Okule front seat covers in another rig so I'm familiar with them but looking for other options....especially from members of this forum who are fanatics about upgrades.
    Thanks in advance!

    I have used them on 3 trucks with about 300K total. They are a little hard to install but I'm sure all fitted seat cover are.

    Just installed the drivers side of my Wet Okole in low budget classic black (no seat back pockets or anything else). They were also running a sale so $270 delivered. Looks good. Took a bit of time trying to stick the buckle under the plastic just behind the adjusters but then just removed buckle, threaded strap and reattached once under the seat. Did not remove the seats but required a work light to illuminate under seat and some time on the knees with head on the floor. Carefully cinched all straps and tied up loose ends. 2 straps fore and aft and one strap connecting the sides. Zapped myself once sticking a finger in beside the seat to check for space to route the strap. The passenger seat is manual so no issues there. Comes with shower cap like cover for the console. Install is pretty straight forward. Just have to be careful to work around the wiring.

    As far as covers in back I got the Canvasback. They fit well and velcro on, with openings for all fittings. I did not get covers for the back seats as they will usually always be down. $179
