Hey guys,
In my diesel 2500, I have Wet Okole (neoprene) seat covers.
I like them, they keep the leather from wearing out.
But.....They are hot (Hawaii is hot in general), and can smell really bad after a heavy work week.

I'd like to know what, if any, seat covers you guys use in your PW's.

I'm an electrical contractor and I get dirty.
That, coupled with the fact that I don't like to clean my trucks, means I need seat covers!
I feel like a wus for saying this, but I don't want the seat covers to render the cooled seats useless like the neoprene does.

Carhartt by CoverCraft. Same heavy duck type canvas as their clothes, and washable in a commercial machine. Had mine three years, still look great and the seats underneath look like the day I took delivery.

I have Shear Comfort Cordura. They are very durable and fit very well, however the material is not the most comfortable. It’s kinda rough. They would be great in a work truck. I’d probably get them again and I don’t use my truck for work. . They were 275, 2 years ago.

Thanks guys!
I was thinking about these ones: https://www.carid.com/2018-ram-2500...ic-tactical-custom-seat-covers-867352223.html

My truck has tons of tools, meters, first aid, umbrellas, flashlights, rain gear, etc. I thought these covers might help me stay organized a little better.

I don't live in the city, and I work on a ranch with dirt roads that are muddy every day.
I don't do it often, but occasionally, I jump in my truck with a screwdriver or pliers in my back pocket.

I didn't actually want leather, but the last 2 trucks came with it because it was part of a package that I prefered.
I like the leather and would like to keep it nice.

Heard somebody say once. Putting seat covers on your leather seats is like not screwing your girlfriend so it’s not wore out for the next guy lolololol. Couldn’t resist

That's funny. I see your point, but on the other hand you can always wash the cloth covers. Not so much the actual seats.

I just bought these and put them on. I love them. Seem tough, easy to clean, easy install. Very impressed. I do construction, hike alot, offroad. Have alot of stuff in the cab. More storage the better. They come with some skanda molle bags and bought a few others. I got black, I'll take some pics tomorrow.

I got the same ones. They just barely showed up a couple of weeks ago, but it hasn't stopped raining long enough for me to put them on.....

How well do they fit?

Cleaning leather seats is as easy as wiping off your girlfriend. You're not driving it forever, enjoy the seats you paid for.

Marathon seat covers are the best, not cheap, but the best. Last set lasted over 7 years on old truck. Two years so far on these on new truck.

I was looking into those same covers. I don't have leather though I have the gray vinyl/fabric combo I'm trying to keep from looking like total hell in case I decide to ever sell it.

Let us know how they are when you get em in

I originally ordered the Shear Comfort seats and returned them. They were pretty bad, not at all customized for the 2019 PW either. They didnt have an allowance for the rear seat heater cord or even the under seat light. The materials wasnt great either

just ordered the Marathon seat covers, hopefully much better.
