Hey all
After doing a bunch of research and seeing how the OEM seats stain. I didn;t want (faux) leeather, nor a cloth cover that didn't fit right thus. I finally bit the bullet on a pair of seat covers. I ordered the SuperDux Carhartt Seat Covers on Mar 25th, they shipped Apr 1st and arrived on Apr 8th. This is 2 weeks from order to delivery.
They arrived shipped in front and rear separately.
I started with the center console cover. It is definitely on the tight side but after stretching it and finagling it. I got it to seat well despite the straps being placed pretty close to each other as opposed to being more evenly spaced across the entire cover.
On to the driver's seat, the bottom seat sits well and you only see the OEM seats in the corner, so having more material would've been great. It is secured with 2 velcro straps that come across the horizontal part of the cover and 2 adjustable connectors that go through the seat bottom and back split.
Next the head rest cover, it went on without too much issue after taking the head rest off by reclining the seat. Having the cover lined up perfectly with the edges helps greatly as well.
The seat back comes down over the top and is a wiggle game to get it down the whole seat. The last 10% is of course the hardest and it isn't easy to find spots to pull from without tearing any seams. Once you have the seat cover all the way down, you can push a velcro strap through the hole between the back and bottom to wrap it around the bottom of the seat back and two additional connectors which connect to the same points as the seat bottom.
There is additional cushion on these seat covers and they so far have sat slightly above the original seat giving it some play to comfort my back. Personally I enjoy this and find the comfort much closer to that of the Ford Ranger finally. The seat also has its own seat storage in the same position as the OEM, but goes over the top of it.
The passenger seat is more of the same process as the driver only there is less room underneath the seat to run the straps due to more wiring harnesses being found down there as well as having to switch my non dominant hand.
On to the rear, I started with the tops. They go on similar to the front after detaching them from the rear of the truck and folding them down. They only have a velcro strap which does the job pretty tight after you line it up with the tie down holes on the back and side.
Bottoms go on in similar fashion with a superb fitment once it all lines up.
After all the effort, I am quite happy with seat covers. They have great stain and water resistance, while not being too rough or faux. The fitment works well while being thought out although there are a few parts the still stick out. My biggest issue is they ended up being $842. Most of that is the Carhartt tax and realistically without it these should be half the price even with being made in Mexico (They shipped from pretty much right across the border). I paid too much for a truck and that isn't stopping now; I want to use high stuff and not cheap stuff off amazon and thats what I got.
