'05+ Seat Covers

[Tick]

Looking for a set of seat covers, front and back for my new Tacoma DC Sport. Toyota Canada say they don't make 'em. There must be some alternative. Is there anyone out there that has seat covers?

performance products? Katzkin? Only two places I can think of that might have them.

I'm using the TRD seat covers on our TRD Tacoma (NO seat air bag).

GT Covers cloth for the rear seat..the GT cover is snug in the back due to the plastic cover behind the seat...

I've seen these many years ago... http://www.classicsofttrim.com

What material are you thinking?

Checked out the GT site, they look nice. Can you still flip the seats up, or is the cover one piece?

After looking at the TRD seat covers you mentioned, I'm kind of leaning towards the neoprene. I have a two kids and can imagine the benefits of neoprene when it came to apple juice .

I also found a company named Wet Okole that does neoprene, but holy cow, they'd be over $500 USD for front and back.

Do you like the TRD ones? Any issues with sweating in the summer?

Thanks, sa

The Rear GT cover is 2 piece, you can flip the seat; tho with the car seat in the center back, I don't do much flipping . They are nicer than I expected, more plush than oem, if I remember correctly...

The Wet Okole covers were a bit out of my price range

The TRD cover fits as nice/snug as an oem seat cover should. I like them. The black vinyl type material on the TRD seat cover can get 'Hot' in the summer, I have tinted windows and use a sun screen on the windshield anyway, so that helps a bit. The vinyl type material is ribbed, seems to cool off quickly.
If the misses wears short shorts, you may have a problem, with the TRD seat cover that is.

Thanks for the reply and info. Pretty sure that I'm sold on a set of GT Covers. They offer a waterproof material that will suit my fancy. If the wife ever does wear "short shorts", hopefully they'll suit her fanny too!

Once I get them on I'll try and post some pics and a "review". Till then.....

GTs customer support is excellent, too - they honor the warranty and make it right.

I bought championseatcovers on ebay for my '06 tundra work truck. And when they say exact fit, they mean it, and it cost less than $50 shipped. And they are nice.
