I need some seat covers for my pickup. It seems reviews are all over the place. Give me your recomendations.
Thanks

You'll get lots of positive recommendations for Marathons. I sure like mine. After 6 or so years in the sun they've faded some but the fabric is about as good as new. A lot of guys like their camo patterns but they say on their website that camos will fade faster than solid colors. Mine are solid colored.

Another vote for Marathon. Mine are also 5-6yrs old, can't quite recall. It's not an act of congress to get them off to wash them either.

I am on my second set of Wet Okole seat covers for my 2002 Super Duty. Got over 100,000 miles on first set and my factory seats look like new.

Coscto has the best price for custom fits anywhere. They are the Cover King brand.

I've ordered a few sets for different vehicles over the years. All have fit and worn perfectly. I ordered Neoprene version...ONCE. Tough as a two-dollar steak, but holy balls it made me sweat. I use the "Veloci-vent" now on all my rigs. For $200 total you can get front and back seat covers specific to about any vehicle made. Wait is usually about 10 days from point of order.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

Other than finding a long screwdriver to remove the seat back tilt lever, I can have the driver seat cover off in under a minute and back on in less than 2 min. It's hard to get the coffee stains, off, though.

Depends on your use. If they will be wet often, hard to beat wet okoles. My lab is on mine weekly for years and they still look good with very little wear. Most people think they are custom seats and not just seat covers.

Wet okoles are pricey, but definitely hold up. And fit like glove. Lots of nice options too, built in holsters are great.

I’ve used marathons in my last 6 trucks. Install them and forget about them! They are hands down the bed we have used. They look classy, wear great and don’t move on your seats. They are custom made when you order.

I've got a set of marathon's on my 01 F250 seats and I have the wet okoles on my 07 Tacoma. Both sets have held up well. I use my Tacoma way more then my F250, in and out more, and have finally started wearing a hole in the edge of the driver seat on the wet okoles. I don't think I'll ever wear a hole in the Marathons, but they are starting to fade even though I keep the truck in the shed when I'm not using it.

I recommend either brand. They both seem tough. I think the Okoles stain easier, is about the only downside with them.
