In search of a good quality seat cover. Due to kids my wife wants "waterproof" for the back row. We've had leather for years and the 23 2500HD is our first cloth seat in some time. For me I like it. It gets hot in SW Idaho in the summer and once leather warms up it stays warm. But for practicality I have to agree with my wife. Happy wife, happy life.

 

I've looked at Marathon, Dashdesigns and others. But just a few minutes ago reading in another thread. @Kjduvall mentioned Vertex off road, synthetic leather. I'm liking those a lot. The pics of the fit and finish look great. They are expensive and lead time seems to be a common complaint (worth the wait it is said). 

 

As expensive as our truck was for us it will be with us for a lonnngg time.

 

 

Any other suggestions? Thanks.

I’m a bit ocd for cleanliness so I have no covers in the front. In the back I use a very technological approach called towels. I picked up the cheapest black towels on Amazon and laid two big ones across the back seat. They drape over nicely.

I have a set of Rough Country neoprene that will be on their 3rd truck as of tomorrow, 4 years. They fit well and are durable.

I had my wife look at the synthetic leather seat covers on Vertexs' site. She likes the look. But like me....the price. It'll have to wait. In the meantime we "need" to get something on the back seat for the kiddos. We're about a month out from our first camping trip/ road trip. Something for then will have to do. Thanks for the suggestions.

I bought a full set of oem replacement leather seat covers and swapped out my factory cloth covers for the leather.  Purchased for half the price of Vertex (which was what I was originally going to get) and spent 2 evenings replacing all of them.  They didn't require any special tools to swap out, and in the end they are exact fit as opposed to slip on covers.

Did you order them through your dealer? Assuming you did, that's a great idea. I was about to say "why didn't I think of that?" But then again prior to my new truck I haven't owned anything new enough in the last 20 years that I could order something like that from the dealer. Thanks!

 

EDIT: Won't work in my case. I don't have rear seat storage. And that is the only way leather rear seats are made. I would have to replace the rear seat.

oh man that's a bummer.  Vertex is the best fitting slip on covers I've seen.

Are there any rear covers that retain access to the seatback doors? I've got some cheap Amazon covers on the front, but would like to get the rear covered.
