6 reasons why seat covers are essential for your truck

As a truck owner, you do everything you can to protect the engine, chassis and body from damage, corrosion and wear. But what are you doing to safeguard your vehicle’s upholstery? Here are six reasons why seat covers are an essential interior truck accessory.

1. They protect your vehicle’s interior. If you have kids and pets, you know it’s impossible to keep your car’s interior looking new, especially on long road trips where everyone is eating and drinking on the go. Work trucks can get incredibly filthy, as grease, oil, paint and muck get tracked inside. Seat covers offer a layer of protection so that any mess gets on the seat cover rather than the original upholstery.

2. They increase comfort. Modern seat covers are more than just fabric. Some come with features such as memory foam and lumbar supports. Others have built-in heating and massaging capabilities. These features can make driving long distances much more comfortable and enjoyable.

3. They add a personal touch. If you’re unsatisfied with your vehicle’s interior, you can customize your seat covers with personalized colours or designs. You can purchase leather or tweed or display the logo of your favourite sports team. Custom seat covers will give your truck a personalized touch.

4. They can save you money. Replacing your ruined upholstery is expensive, and so is getting a professional cleaning. With removable seat covers, you can toss them in the washing machine every few weeks to keep them looking new. However, some seat materials, like leather, require manual wipe-downs.

5. They’re easy to install. Unlike most truck accessories, you can easily install seat covers by yourself in no time. Compared to the labour and expense of replacing your upholstery, a seat cover is a wise choice.

6. They maintain your vehicle’s resale value. You’ll be glad you invested in seat covers when you sell your vehicle. Used car buyers will inspect the condition of the interior and likely pay more for a truck that’s been well cared for.
