Does anyone have any recommendations for a well fitting seat cover for this series of trucks? My driver's side is tearing (12 years of people dragging their rear ends across it will do that) and the foam cushion is starting to lose small pieces. I try to stand on the running board when getting in/out to minimize wear on the seat, but I'm just delaying the inevitable, not preventing it. I bought a set at Autozone, but it's going back because it doesn't fit properly and that makes it look, well, kind of tacky.

​​​I've tried a few local scrap yards, but nobody has a matching seat in my interior color that isn't already wearing out. Autozone or any other retailer just carry universal fit covers, which don't fit well enough to look appealing. My only other option is to have it re-upholstered, but I have a feeling that might be on the spendy side. Anyone have any success with something similar in their truck?

 

My '04 had a hole in the butt pad outer bolster (like most do) when I bought it. I had an upolstery shop replace just the damaged panel and fix the foam padding. I believe I paid about $160. The repair stood out on my black cloth interior until it wore in a little. Now it's almost perfect.

 

I did the same thing with a vehicle I had - except that I ordered the molded foam cushion from the dealer. It turned out very nice.

Me too. They did for $80 and matched it pretty good. better than seat covers for sure.

 

I put Clazzio covers in the '05. The look like the original covers and have held up well so far.

 

I have had full katzkin leather put on my 06, but on other trucks I have had just the seats repaired using a local upholstery shop. Katzkin was like $1300, the repair on another truck was $90. My 06 that got the full interior needed it! Got all that money back and more when I sold it on. The other trucks just needed a simple fix.
