Does anyone have any review or pictures on how they fit, quality and overall functionality? I don't want to spend 500 bucks to end up having buyers remorse.
Ok fellas, I found this thread looking for reviews and because of the scarcity of info I decided to buy and comment here. I'm not a writer and no tldr.
Mine are slightly different, part 82215463 for my 2021 Limited. The factory leather seats are beautiful but they need some protection, in the 3 months I've had the truck I've slightly scuffed the drivers seat already from my phone in my left rear pants pocket.
I've never installed seat covers before so I didn't know what to expect. The covers are decently nice, they have an almost leather like appearance but are tightly woven of some synthetic material that's been treated to be water repellent or resistant. I don't know if it's neoprene, I have none to compare it to. Not very thick but it will definitely protect your seats from scuffs and spills.
The instructions are a joke - literally no words just hand drawn sketches of what you're supposed to do. It isn't rocket surgery so I did figure it out, but found it was easier to change the order of the steps.
There were 4 pieces in the box - the front seats are one piece each and 2 head rest covers. No console cover in this kit. There is a flap like piece that goes rearward between the seat bottom and backrest. It has 3 strong straps to pull it through, you will need to get in the back and use some kind of hook to grab the straps and pull the flap through the seat to the rear where you can attach it to a metal brace at the bottom of the back of the seat. This was step 4 or 5 but I found it to be best done at the beginning. Beware the metal brace bar it's inconveniently located and the edges are as sharp as a razor. Once I stopped bleeding I hooked a smooth metal covid door key to the straps and sent that through the seat to the back, got in the back and pulled it through using the key handle. First one was a ***** as I was discovering all of this, the 2nd went quickly.
One elastic strap with plastic hook on each side of the backrest to secure the front of the cover to the rear of the cover. I managed to pull one of the side straps out of the stitching, so be gentle with those. 3 elastic straps with plastic hooks to secure the front of the cover underneath the seat but my seat doesn't have all the holes in the metal seat frame underneath that the oh-so-clear hand drawn sketches showed should be there. I made do as best I could and it works.
On the seat pass through thing - my limited has a carpet flap that hides things in the back and bottom of the front seat, you have to unlatch and lift the carpet flap to access things and pull those pesky straps from my step one. The rear of the seat cover has tucks in the corners so the seat cover goes all the way down the back of the seat when the flap is down (do that part last).
All in all I consider them a decent value but not great. The shaping of the covers make them fit to the seats pretty well but there isn't as much side coverage as I would like. The side strap that pulled out was a bummer and makes me a little worried but other stitching seemed pretty solid. Vague directions were frustrating to a noob.
Last of all I also got the rear seat covers, part 82215474 for the 60/40 crew cab. 7 pieces in this box and at first I liked these because seat bottom and backrest are separate pieces, plus 2 headrests and a console cover (why rear but not front?!). But if you have a limited this is NOT the correct part, dealer verified before I ordered but they will not work. There is a cutout for the fold down rear console. However the cutout - and that darn cover - are far far too small for the actual console. Can't fold the console down or it will try to take off the cover from the rest of the seat back on that side. I guess regular crew cab vs limited cab there is a difference in the console size. Even if I had the right part I am not sure you can install the rear covers without removing the rear seats. Shoving the velcro flaps (especially the ones between the backrest and seat) with the carpet grabbing at it... Well, I don't think a human can do it but maybe I was just too frustrated.
Hoping I can exchange or refund the rears at the dealer. Didn't take pics during installation, my bad. I have some after pics if anyone wants to see but this is already long.
