    Dang. That looks great! My stock seats look bad. $300ish seems fine if they look that good.

    I don't see any mention of side airbag compatibility on the Marathon web page, not even in FAQs. Do you know if their covers accommodate the side airbags?

    It's been a while since I ordered mine, but I do recall there being something on that as I was ordering online. I think there were accommodations for those side air bags.

    Got this response from Marathon about side airbags.

    Good Afternoon ,


    I wanted to respond to your email regarding a question about our seat covers. We do make a compensation for your airbags that exist in the seat.

    We sew a weaker thread on the areas from which the airbags would deploy. We are confident that an airbag would not only blow open the weaker threaded areas, but the whole cover as well. This does not however mean that the fabric is not durable. Nylon Cordura (DuPont product) is not only 100% waterproof, but is also virtually puncture and tear proof. If we do not ask if you have the airbags in your seats, that means we have already accommodated for them. I hope this helps, please let me know if you should have any further questions.


    Thank You,

    I have coverkings that I bought at Costco for my 2010 access cab. I have them on for a couple of months and so far they've been fine. They do have openings on the sides to accommodate for air bags.

    Hmmm I was going to go this route but I went with wet okles. I must say the wet okles were a bitch to get on and really didn't fit like I thought they should. Have had them on for a week now and they fit much nicer with some use. No problem at all. But it was definitely a toss up between the carhartt and wet okles. I have a Duluth seat cover for my dog. I would've just got another if they would "fit" better.

    I got the coverking ballistic cordura seat covers for my 13, and while the fit isn't as nice as a softer cover they are rugged.

    All the time!!!
    I do well work, pulling Irrigation, and house wells daily, and after were trough I get in my Tacoma and come home. Some times (most of the time) I'll have grease, rust, dirt and mud all over me that gets on the seats, I've got the three different bottles of cleaner from Wet Okles for cleaning the seats, but have never used them had my covers for over a years now and all it has ever took to clean them is a wet wash rag! Like I said in the first comment, Best thing I've done to my Tacoma yet!
