    Just wanted to give a shout out to Costco $20 seat covers. I was looking for real, quality seat covers but hadn't yet made my mind up on which ones to get. Was at Costco one day, saw the $20 set, figured what the hell because I was getting antsy for just something to protect the new seats a bit.

    2 months later, I still have them on and they hold up fine. Will replace at some point with quality covers, but these have totally alleviated any concern about protecting the seats.

    Take a pic now, take a pic a month from now.

    Like you, I could give a shit how they look. As long ad the seat is protected, I'm good with that.

    $20 is an awesome price.

    Thanks

    If you want a really CHEAP seat cover, get one from Wally World. It's made from 600 denier nylon (whatever that is) and wears like Kevlar. It ain't pretty, but it fits OK and protects the seats. It's not for everyone, but it works for me.

    Bell Black All Terrain Bucket Seat Cover - Walmart #: 552856625 - for less than $9 per seat

    Anything at all, even towels, is better than nothing if your truck is new. This fabric stains if you look at it wrong. When I bought my Durango new in '99, light or dark grey were the interior color options. I thought - dark - because the light will get ruined. Well, when I sold it 10 years later the interior looked brand new. Toyota didn't figure this out until 2012, at least with the carpet. Can't wait to put Katskins leather in my truck and find a 2012 or newer black carpet.

    I bought the same ones from Costco. I Was considering wet Okle but the price of those compared to 20$, I couldn't resist.
    Defiantly worth it. 6months later and still holding up. Btw I get in and out of my truck 10+ times a day (I'm a pool man)

    I bought the $20 Costco ones and they are great but just one problem. Since they are water resistant our ass sure get sweaty here in Phoenix. Oh and I did have to mod them a little. The foam piece that goes between the bottom and back of the seat kept coming out. I punched two holes, ran some twine and tied it to the underneath of the seat.

    Bought the $19.99 Costco neoprene black/grey which goes with my factory light grey and black plastic interior.

    Just wanted something to protect my factory front seats from stains after hunting/fishing. So far so good after 6 months and 7000 miles.

    do the TRD seats stain as easily has folks post about? I had an 08 TRD OR that never stained, but I didn't have dogs or kids, either. Now I have 2 dogs and 2 kids and don't want my backseat to get fubar'ed like my wife's car. i sprayed them down with Scotchguard within an hour of picking up my truck, but wondering if i should just bite the bullet and get something cheap to throw on there.

    I just put the bottoms on both front seats. I ended up just tucking in the rear part of the bottom. The rest of the attachment points were nothing but little hooks on elastic loops.

    These are cheap covers but they do protect the seat from stains and are far better from what I was using before. ( towel tucked in). They have stayed in place so far and the only thing I need to do is re-tuck in the back bottom every once in a while.

    It took me 10min to put them on. Bottoms only.

    I just got front for my AC. But they did have front and back for DC. I just put the bottoms on the front and tucked them in. Still going strong for the price. They are very cheap but do protect for what I needed them for. It's very thin material, if you were to spill a liquid on it some may go pass the cover. I don't think in anyway there waterproof . I think they would repell the liquid as long as you wiped it up quickly.

    I've had these seat covers before and really liked them. I just picked up a 2015 and would like these again but does anyone know about the back seats in a double cab? ?? Would like full coverage instead of just the fronts.

    @spitdog the link you provided, did the seat covers you bought come with covers for the front and back or do you mean there were other links that sold the front and back? Also did you ever try putting the whole seat cover yet and if so how did it fit? Thanks sorry for all the questions
