What are the best car seat covers for a 4x4?

Looking to protect your 4x4's seats? Look no further, as we have all the information you need to help you decide which car seat covers are the best for your 4x4.

We spend a lot of time sitting in our 4x4’s travelling around Australia. Whether you are driving along a dirt track in the middle of the outback, heading down to the local beach, the daily school run or driving your 4x4 ute around town, wear and tear from daily use is certainly a part of owning a 4x4. Whether you own a Ford Ranger, Toyota Hilux, Holden Colorado or Mazda BT50, one of the most overlooked parts of wear and tear on your 4x4 is the interior. If you have kids or a dog, you know what we're talking about! The car seats can get dirty, sticky and covered in muck. Getting in and out of the vehicle daily can coat your car seats in mud, sand, food, crayons, pet hair and even water, which is simply a common part of life when you own a 4x4. But who wants to clean your seats after every outing? And not to mention cleaning and protecting your leather seats. Despite your best efforts, keeping your car seats clean can be harder than it needs to be.

So, what's the solution? Seat covers of course! Good quality and easy-to-install seat covers can change your life. Below we'll discuss all the benefits having a quality car seat cover for your 4x4, as well as which car seat covers we personally recommend and use. So keep on reading to find out more!

Installing the car seat cover

The EFS and Hulk 4x4 seat covers shouldn't take you any longer than around 10 minutes to fit each front and rear car seat covers. One of the most important factors when it comes to seat covers is how they fit, and hug the seat. If they are loose, they will be uncomfortable to sit on, cause greater damage to your seat and look very average. Make sure to pull tight on all the corners, allowing for a snug fit that is comfortable to sit on and doesn't look baggy or wrinkled. Ensure all the ties are secure and tucked out of the way.

One of the most important considerations and factors to think about when selecting seat covers online is their size. Many times, people make the mistake of buying universal seat covers for their 4x4 or ute and although easier to access, universal seat covers are often ill-fitting, resulting in the unsightly bunching of fabric or they might keep moving around if they are too loose. However, covers that are too tight may rip when putting them on or as people move about on the seat cover in tough conditions.

To select the right size for your 4×4 vehicle, car, SUV or ute, carefully select the Make, Model, Badge/Mark, whether your vehicle is Single/Dual/Extra/Van and the selected vehicle Manufacture Year. This way, you are sure to have the perfect fit for your seat protector when you install your seat cover. Other brands such as MSA seat covers, ARB seat covers and Black Duck seat covers may not have the correct seat cover for your vehicle, but Brixton 4x4 Adventure stock many a seat cover for vehicles such the Ford Ranger and Toyota Hilux.
