There are others covers around and IMHO those Carhartt covers are Butt Ugly. I would put them in my Dodge but I sold it for junk 20 years ago.
Most of the upscale covers manufactures have an option for leather seats it does make a difference. When I ordered my covers from Head waters they asked me what type of seats I had.
If you can afford the KR then spend some $$ on custom - quality seat covers. Quit messing with the el-cheapo one size fits all crap...just sayin

Since the XLT seats are so light (and the factory cloth wears fast) I installed black cover king covers to protect them. (Light grey seats should be outlawed in work trucks)
Here is the factory seats:
And the Cover King covers:
They have been installed for a year, and still look great and don't move around. I would buy them again.
On the plus side my factory cloth has never been sat on.

Thats for sure. But, for slinging tools into the back or hauling two 60 pounds labs, you can't beat them. They clean easily, and vacuum even easier. I only have them on the back seats so I never even see them unless I open the back doors.

Rick, I have the same covers in a different pattern. Yours look great.
CAUTION to anyone installing seat covers that have straps that are installed under the seats. I sliced my hand open on the seat frame -- there is stamped metal that is bent for the seat slide rail. The metal was not ground/sanded down during fabrication and it was a sharp as a razor. I recommend that you consider kevlar type gloves (or some other hand protection).

Mine are the waterproof covers in the backwoods camo pattern. As far as to scratching the leather I don't know but these covers do have some nice padding in them.
