Thanks for the link to the console cover. My truck is cloth jump seat so the one you linked wouldn’t work, but it lead me to one that will.

Also ordered one of each covers I’d seen mentioned. Will return the one I like the least.

How we’ll do the Aries covers fit? Do they pack down to a small size that’s easy to stow?

Got the covers and snapped a few pics.

The Aries cover is nice and “beefy” feeling. It fits more formed over the headrest and covers the seating surfaces well. It has a rubber backing that holds it in place really well. I only tested it out in the driveway but it didn’t shift around getting in and out.










The Smile Turtle cover doesn’t fit as formed over the headrest as the Aries does. It feels more pliable, like a thick bath towel. It has an elastic strap that goes over the seat back to hold it in place, and an elastic strap with a hook on the end that can be tucked up under the front edge of the seat (tho I’ve not used it).

The cover is wider than the Aries and covers more of the sides and front of the seat and can be tucked down between the right edge of the seat and center jump seat. it has a rubber backing that doesn’t feel as beefy as the Aries, but has nubs on it that hold it in place really well.










Both covers folded. The Aries (on left) prob wouldn’t fold or compress much smaller than shown. The Smile Turtle (on right) could fold in half once more, or be compressed maybe by half that shown, it puffs back up before I could take the pic.




Both are nice covers and had I only ordered either one alone, I’d have been perfectly satisfied. Having them both in hand to try out, I’ll be keeping the Smile Turtle and returning the Aries. The ST cover just fits the use case better to what I was looking for.

The console lid cover mentioned in my previous post can be seen in the pics above. Its neoprene, fits good and feels good on the arm. You can work the console lid latch thru the cover easily. It seems a shade darker than the seats (it’s grey) than I’d like, but not bad. I ordered the light grey version today and will keep the one that matches the best and return the other.

Got the light grey Console Cover in. It’s way too light for the stock interior. The “normal” grey is for sure best match.

Same boat...I wanted something cheap to keep the work grime off the cloth til I figured out what direction I wanted to go. I went with these Cat covers from Amazon $35ish. I wasn't expecting much but pleasantly surprised with fit and they don't move around. Eventually I'll get that console cover too.

Nice find, I like those a lot better than the loose fitting Aries ones.
