I recently got a new 2019 Ram 1500 Classic, the Ignition Orange edition. I’m a huge Halloween lover so the black and orange called to me. I’m absolutely obsessed with it! And I wish I could baby it forever.
But I’m a Mama.
And life happens.
And so does fast food or long trips states away to visit family.
So I wanted to protect my seats, but I also didn’t want to spend a fortune.
All the options I could find with orange/black were like 500$ or more. And I just couldn’t justify that at this time. My thinking in ordering these was:
”If I buy these and they suck? I can return them. If they rip, break, get stained or need replaced in a couple years? It would still be worth the savings. And it would give me the opportunity to see if I value this sort of color combo and protection enough to invest in a more expensive option. “
That said, I obviously bought them. 😂
First thing I will say... I literally bled putting these on. One still has a blood spot on it. 😅Meh. 🤷🏻♀️
I recommend these if and only if:
1. You don’t mind a lot, A LOT, of finagling.
2. You have a very keen eye for detail.
3. To you, an hour of maneuvering and a couple blood drops from hitting your hands on things under and around seats and tying straps and tucking is worth the savings in money to you.
Now, if you fit those requirements: keep reading.
Straight to it? These are cheap, thin and you will work your shiny, hiney off getting them on. If you just try and throw them on real quick, they will look like trash. Period. It’s unavoidable.
Side note: For my model truck, I have a bench seat in front with a lift up console area that exposes the middle of the seat. This set does not have a cover for that center area but I didn’t mind because I have the console down covering that area a lot and I was mainly worried about protecting the back seat from spills.
Back to it...you will have to pinch fabric and pull down, pinch and pull down, repeatedly, and tuck things and pull straps and tighten and tie things in unorthodox ways. (Also a tie down strap may break off. One of mine did.)
In my pictures, I actually should get back in and work more on the back seat where the zipper is because it’s puckered a bit how I have it at the moment. Also, I used a full size head rest cover —haphazardly tucked and squished— on the tiny head rest in the middle of the back seat. It could use some pinning still, but my hand was bleeding from knocking it on things multiple times, tucking down in between the seats/tying things down under and I just said “that’ll do pig”. 😂
All of that said, once done, these look bad booty Judy. I mean REAL bad mamma jamma, if you know what I’m sayin’. Especially from outside looking in or walking through a parking lot, it looks like I paid a crap ton for custom seat covers and I’ve gotten a lot of compliments. I legit blew my husbands mind, he thought I was nuts and now he’s itching for me to install some in our Challenger.
So, bottom line: If you’re up for a ride, some hard work, and have band aids on hand? Get em. Rock em. Join me in Pumpkin land. 🎃 Or whatever land you happen to reside in, not sure if this review will show on other color options. 👌
In closing, I hope this was informational and helpful! If so, drop a helpful vote under my review. Let’s me know I’m doing something right. Oh and I bought these with my own money, received no discount or compensation of any kind. I’m just a frugal lady who thought I’d give them a shot! Thanks for reading!
