2025 Toyota Tacoma Owner Says, “I Would Rather Push-Mow a Hill In 105 Degree Heat with 2 Broken Legs, Than to Ever Install Seat Covers Again”

I think you are just showing off !!!! They looked professionally installed. You just want ATTENTION / BRAG go show it to your grandma.

Don't care for the red stitching. But overall I like the new seat covers way more then the original seats and from what I can see she did a good job installing the new covers. So 2 thumbs up. 👍

Hi as a former 2023 Toyota Tacoma TRD 4X4 owner seat covers were hard to install also. I bought New and I wanted to protect seats and floors. Truck was stolen less than 8 months ago and the truck was returned without the seat covers!! Returned as a nightmare!(obviously they didn’t like the blue with black seat covers 😂😂😂)

Believe she bought wrong vehicle if she didn't like interior. To many choices available to pay for something you don't like or want.
I say this with 10 yr dealer experience.

Oh my hell are you freaking kidding me? The seats are great! They offer different variations. If you can't afford the model with the right looking seats to your preference you should NOT BE BUYING A 50,000+ truck!

Second point, it's a damn truck! Get over it, it's not meant for city driving. they are designed for off roading.

No seat covers unless they are bought from a manufacturer and installed will ever look good anyways.

So to this lady, I say, pound sand and go buy Hyundai.

This sounds he had loads of fun with it it was so easy

A completely useless article. The title verbiage was not used anywhere in the article, and the person named in the article offered no information on how or why the seat covers were difficult to install. The issue could as easily been caused by a poor seat cover design as the vehicle itself.

A note to the Author - learn to write. Stay on subject and offer the read a logical progression of vs wandering about. And there was no conclusion.

These look like the style I bought for my pickup. I did the same after I got my Ram but mine was real easy to install. Took me about 30 minutes to install mine. People get in my truck thinking the seats came that way until I point out that they are covers then they are shocked 😮.
Definitely leave the new covers in the truck, looks awesome with them in.

Actually to be really honest your seats look really Great already, I would not have a clue why you would want to put anything over them. Thats actually a really nice color already. If you dont like the seat covers then you should take them off, instead of complaining about them. I would Never put seat covers over my original seats.

I live your seat covers, you did a great job.

The seats look great, you should be proud!

Give them a few weeks in the Hot summer sun and they should stretch and shrink and start to mold themselves onto the seats. But I think you just expect more after working so hard. They really look great, sometimes when you do the work you're self things don't look as good to yourself as they do to others.

Reasonable solution but not those with the red stitching 🤣

Tacoma's seat covers look good. I bet they are nice and comfy. Leave and live with them for a few weeks. We are our own worst critics, especially with diy projects. We have this slightly "dreamy vision" of how it will turn out.... then...... Gee Willikers Batman! It doesn't quite hit that high after all that work. You've inspired me to think about upholstering my ride. : )

Upholstery work isn't easy. But in general I take joy in the learning of new skills even if the result isn't perfect. How could it be? For a lot of things it takes doing it more than once to even start to get good at it.

It is done and functional and *you* did it.

I would of kept original seats they Look better to me that was wasted time and money personally

I recommend custom made by a professional upholster

They look great. Get them in the sun though. You need some heat cycles to draw them up toit...like a tiger.

Lol, loved the descriptive comparison re: the challenge of installation and duly noted!

This looks like trash I mean why wouldn't you just bought the leather seats I mean are you that stupid apparently it's a woman and she had a 4Runner before which shows it's a dumb Karen and doesn't know what she's buying. I mean Toyotas are already overpriced in tacomas are junk doesn't even have a sunroof lol . Then you buy some cheap aftermarket seat covers instead of just paying for leather? What's next a lift kit LOL instead of getting a factory decent vehicle. F****** idiots

Ehh!
They look good and straight.
"BUT"!
If your not getting the inside of your truck dirty.
Or maybe you have small children, and might get a few spills.
Considering there isn't a speck of red on the truck for the covers to match besides the tail lights and trailer hitch cover..
Me personally! Nope.
But different strokes for different folks.

A couple of bottles of cheap baby powder from the Dollar Store sprinkled inside the covers would have made the job a whole lot easier. Smells good too.

I like these! Our 2020 Tacoma has the fabric style seat covers, bought on Amazon. They fit ok. As for looks, they keep the seats clean is all I can say.

I cannot find seat covers for a 2021 Subaru Outback. Only replacements requiring removal of the factory covers. WTF is up with that. Also can’t see how to push straps, etc between the top part and seat part. There’s a hard plastic covering the lower back of the seat preventing access. I’m thinking of using upholstery pins to keep the old ones I’m using from shifting.

Both the 4Runner and Tacoma are useless for towing more than a small pop-up camper. A 17 ft camper us at the top end of weight But. the weight is only part of it. The other part is drag. A higher profile camper is like dragging a sail. You need power (torque) to overcome that. Seat covers can be changed, towing capacity, not so much.

Jill sounds like a real novice in the truck and seat cover world. In a situation where you have everything you need (instructions, tools, and even video instructions) as long as you have some decent common sense and a little patience it will all work out in the end.
My tacoma seats took a little over an hour to install and the seat material underneath will stay nice and clean for the next owner and keep the value of the truck fairly high.
I also don’t need validation from strangers on the internet over something so trivial.
Good luck with future endeavors that involve instructions, Jill. Truck looks great!

Exactly, they are not or ever were made to go over original factory covers. Should be taken to upholstery shop,or ruin new vechicle interior, just like you said!

I don’t like the new ones she put on they look weird
