    I would much rather have a warm or hot truck and deal with the hassles of putting on a car cover than the hassles of jacked up paint. But that's just me.

    As for enzyme based cleaners, or enzyme based deodorizers Google it! I'm sure a bunch will come up.

    A lot of good advice was given to you now its up to you to take what you want and apply it. Good luck

    Yes, there has been tons of advice in this thread and if I do try and research anything I even consider asking here first. If not I would have a lot more questions!

    From what I've been reading of car covers, the only way they won't scratch is if you wash your vehicle nearly every time you put it on, that's too much for me. But thank you for verifying that it does indeed keep it hot.

    My conclusion:

    I'm not going to use a car cover, but I am going to do these following things:

    Dryer sheets and ice packs under seats
    Cheap seat covers
    Carbon air filter
    Ozium when needed
    Use the factory car wash daily (unless I find something detrimental with it)
    Park upwind
    HeatShield sun visors all around
    Wax the truck frequently
    A/C on circulate

    I am also working on a solar powered fan to keep the air circulating in the cab.

    Thanks everyone for all the help! I've had a ton of advice from everyone here. +reps all around.

    I also have rubber(ish) floor mats. Michelin I think. I didn't really think about it before, but that's probably one less fabric surface to worry about absorbing stank.

    Do you think things like the vinyl or plastics of the interior would retain stench at all? I mean it would take PROLONGED exposure if so. And; I have weathertech floor liners, so as you said, one less problem.
