Seat cover recommendations

I have a 2012 ext cab with bucket seats. Looking for some really good seat covers. Want to see what Tacoma forum recommends.

 

I bought wet okoles for the fronts for my 2013 Access cab, got the taco in Aug 2013, May of 2014 put the covers on, fit perfect, still on, never been off. Would do the same thing again, no questions......look around on this blog, there are lots of seat cover discussions

 

You'll find that Wet Okoles and Clazzio's are the two top tier brands most talked about here.

 

Katzkin. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/san-diego-katzkin.315575/

 

I just posted this about Katzkin VS Clazzio.. you may want to read it.

Just some quick info: It really comes down to personal preference. Katzkin will give you a FULL REPLACEMENT, And Clazzio, a SEAT COVER. Literally both made from the EXACT same materials.. Both will have a leather insert, and the high quality, automotive Grade Vinyl body/headrests/sides. Katzkin requires the removal of your original seats, and re hog tie the new ones on and they require a professional install to do that. SO if you want the more permanent replacement? that's a good way to go..

With our clazzio covers though.. you can install them yourself.. the Tacoma takes about an Hour.. literally.. I love that install. Since they are covers, you can just put them right over your original seats, keeping the original integrity of the vehicle. The look, will be, just like factory, and you can sinch them down pretty dang tight for a way nice look. The best thing about our covers too, is you CAN order just parts if you need so if you ever destroy one, you're totally covered. The TACOMAWORLD coupon will give you $75 off, so a set of solid color, leather kit would be: $424 Shipped Free. We also have a 1 year warranty, and when you buy from www.clazzio.com we also have machines to help you with repairs if you ever need.. we offer embroidery for the headrests.. and we're totally here to help you with.. whatever.

 

Excellent info! Thanks for chiming in.

 

I have clazzio seat covers that I am very happy with.
The Clazzio guy says install takes a hour.....maybe after you have installed 50 sets of them. It took me 45 mins to a hour for each seat. I am fine with the effort and time as they look great, but they are super tight to get on.


The only issue I have with them, is I can't figure out how to install the included center console cover. But truck still looks great without it.

 

I was gonna say, it took me a bout 2.5 - 3 hours to install them in my wife's car. Damn good covers though.

 

Ok fine. Some experience helps. glad you guys all love your covers!!

The armrest cover. was technically only designed for the cloth armrest.

If you have the plastic one.. it is possible to make it work but requires unscrewing the lid and basically gluing the cover on and tucking In the edges under the frame. You could try it without gluing but you'll need to maybe heat up the pvc and stretch the sides so you have some more material to play with screwing it down inside the lid frame.

 

Albeit slightly biased... lol.

I chose Katzkin and I am very happy with it. I get compliments and questions on the seats all the time, but I preferred the professional install with cloth cover removal. It boils down to what look you want, how much you're willing to pay, and your personal choice. I don't think any one answer is right or wrong.

That's what is nice about the site. A few different options can be posted up in pictures and it gives one a better idea what to choose.

 

Can you post pics, and a final price including install for your katzkin.

 

Click the link I posted above. 3 years later, the seats look exactly the same. No wear, no wrinkles, no issues.

 

I went with Marathon and I'm happy with them.

 

Oops I missed that. They look very good.
In a perfect world (where I have tons of money) I would buy those 100%! I just can't bring myself to pay double, even though yours look awesome.

 

It doesn't hurt that I have a Navy pension, a full time job, a wife who works, and no kids at home.

 

Only slightly biased But really, I'd rather people be informed. Some want covers? others? Replacements. I have Katzkins in my Journey.. Because Clazzio won't make covers for it! For the most part, they are ok.. I wish they would have been installed better, but that's not the products fault
