    I've searched the forum and haven't found the answer I was looking for so I figured I'd ask. I've got a 2009 Access cab, with the the bucket seats and a non-folding center console. I do a lot of hunting/fishing/camping and have a dog. I bought some camo covers from O'Reilly that the guy said would fit and, they are really baggy and don't fit right.

    Which seat covers are durable, water resistant, and custom fit to the seats?

    I have seen that name come up a lot and I'm torn between the get the best, "buy once, cry once" mentality or just trying to find a set that does the job. The truck is more of weekend warrior rig for right now.

    Marathon. I've had mine installed for nearly 7 years and they're showing zero signs of wear. And I do all of the things you do with a dog.

    Wet Okole is going to be your go to covers. Best I have ever had on any of my trucks. fit like a glove, easy to clean. Pricey but worth every penny.

    I'm going through their site now. those look good. Would my truck technically be a 4 door, because it's an access cab, even though it's only 2 full doors and then the 2 half "suicide" style doors.

    I just priced a set for mine and it's not a bad price. It doesn't mention anything about side airbags which I have. Don't want to cover the seats if the covers aren't designed to work with side airbags.

    I have Carhartt seat covers on mine. They feel more durable than Wet Okles.

    I got them through Realtruck. The only disadvantage was that they make them to order. I can post some pictures if you want.

    Probably 3 weeks IIRC. They're worth the wait though.

    They feel more durable, because they are.

    I've Wet Okles on the front only of my 13 Access Cab. Been on 4+ years, look new, look like orig equipment as i got black and grey, no fancy colors or piping. Ordered them with pouches on the seat backs, nice extra storage for maps, etc. I do keep an old quilt on the right seat for the dog, find that helps with wet paws/fur, and shedded dog hair. I could not be happier, tho costly at first, amoritized over 5 years years (and they will last longer) not really costly at all.......highly recommend them

    I have Covers and camo seat covers. Also pricey but very nice, durable, and they fit/look as if they're the actual seat. Great for dogs I have a 85 lb black lab.

    GT seat covers / Endura material. Fit is great and the needed install time reflected that. Going on 2yrs now...

    My Tacoma hauls kids, dogs, goats (yes goats - bed was completely full with other stuff) and all kinds of shit. It has seen spilled drinks of every variety, crushed and ground in snacks of all types and not once has anything ever gotten through to the seat material.

    They were not cheap, but I don't baby the inside and I am impressed...
