    Not too difficult to install. Hasn't been that warm here yet so I don't know about sweating. I think they look great and people can't believe that they are seat covers.

    I have the clazzios they were about 500 and I like them. I saw some ones I liked better in the 3rd gen thread but def more work to install. I am happy with my purchase

    Guess it depends on what you're looking for. I got a set of custom Wet Okole’s for my truck, and I love them. Bit hot in the summer, they but look sharp. Which is why I hate to get them dirty.. which is kind of counter intuitive for seat covers :D

    So if youre going to use them / the truck in dirty conditions I would get a set of cheap fabric covers that can be easily washed. Ive heard good things about the Carhartt ones. If youre after a custom / sharp look, then maybe spend a bit more

    My buddy has covering...their ok., bit of a bitch to install, or probably when it comes time to clean them. I went with the camo carhartts. Very simple to install, and will be easy when needed cleaning. They have pretty rugged fabric compared to the coverkings.

    Basically it all depends on what you are going to really like to actually SIT on, whether it be leather, vinyl, canvas, sheepskin, or some other type of fabric. While I really liked the look of some of the leather combinations I could actually design myself [leatherseats.com!] I know I would not like sitting on leather/vinyl when it was really hot or when it was cold. I prefer fabric, but if I was not childfree and had little rugrats spilling stuff all in my truck, then I might like vinyl as it would be easier to clean. So it all depends on what your needs and wants are. That being said, I went with CoverKing and I made a video to show what I did. Here is the link:

    Lots of discussions on this - but it does depend on your needs/wants.

    I have Carhartt in my son's truck and mine too (I have front and back - his is an acess cab)...they are great for what we need.

    We live on a horse farm , on a river and our dog (German Shepherd) is in both trucks a lot. These seat covers can be easily (relative term) taken off and washed. They are the duck material - like the work jackets. They are not cheap, they are nice quality and very toughIMG_4227.jpg IMG_4226.jpg IMG_7044.jpg .

    +1 for coverking Neosupreme. I got them in September and really like them. never had custom made covers before. they fit good I think some passengers don't even know they are covers. check out autoanything and see about the 20% off code for signing up for their emails

    I agree. It all depends on what you use your truck for. Classios are very nice looking, but for those of us that use our truck for work during the week and back woods things on those days off, they wouldn't look nice for long.
    I have the Carhartt ones. They wear and last like the pants. Toss them in the wash once in a while, good to go

    Just received a pair of the neoprene seat covers for the front. I don't know if this has been brought up before: The covers have a strong solvent smell out of the box; what I would call off gassing. I am airing them out in the sun before installing. Hopefully the off gassing and smell will end.

    Anyone else have this experience?

    I love my Clazzios. I have the PVC and cannot tell the difference in stock leather on my other Toyota. Contact Dustin Davis through the Facebook 3rd gen owners group and he will hook you up with best pricing.

    I have Wet Okoles if thats what you're talking about. Think they had a bit of a smell when new, but it dissipated quickly.
