PRP has been making high end seat covers and complete replacements since 1997. What started with custom suspension seats for Baja bugs has grown into a highly reputable brand. PRP has become well known for making durable, customizable, and comfortable products. They also own Speed Strap, which makes recovery and tie down kits.
You’ve probably seen two different sides of the seat cover space. There’s the cheap generic covers, and then premium options which usually offer a better fit, more customizable, better warranty and overall better experience. PRP’s covered are made specifically for each vehicle, so whether you drive a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th Gen Tacoma, there’s a tailor fit set for you.
Let’s talk a closer look at why you should strongly consider investing in these.

Factory Style Fitment
Fit is pretty much the most important part of a seat cover. Poorly fit covers are a bummer. The last thing you want to see is poor fitment. All of us are chasing as close to factory fitment as possible. PRP designs covers for each vehicle they offer them for. The goal is as close to perfect for that factory finish. When properly secured, you shouldn’t have any issues.
You simply install the covers over your seats, no need to remove old materials or anything. After a few weeks, especially in warmer weather, the creases from shipping wear themselves out and the covers start to form fit better.
Compatible With OEM & Safety Features
Is your truck equipped with factory heated seats? No problem. PRP covers don’t interfere with operation or wiring.
Even more importantly, PRP ensures that safety is a top priority. Safety has always played a huge role in the company, especially in their harness and race seats, which driver’s depend up in case of an accident. That said, all their covers are airbag compatible. You can rest easy knowing that your new seat upgrade isn’t going to compromise critical functions.
Nearly Unlimited Customization
One of the key stand out options with PRP is the shear number of color and material options. We’re talking over 60 different choices… yes, 60! Personalization is the name of the game.
Want to keep things simple? Get black vinyl for that leather appearance. Looking for something more durable? Check out the plaid, Cordura, or tweed. Feeling like Steve Irwin on a remote safari? Check out the GatorSkin or the ostrich vinyl. The point is, from mild to wild, down to the stitching, you can customize these. If you want my recommendation, go a little bolder than you might think!
Made For On & Off-Road Abuse
Your seats see a ton of wear. That could be from the countless times you get in and out every week, or a week spent off-grid in a dusty and dirty environment. In both cases, durability is key.
PRP makes all their seat covers by hand, right here in America. As you can see by the close up above, every stitch maters. And they better be strong, because PRP has a massive 5-year warranty. You better believe a company has to have a good product to throw around that type of warranty. Otherwise, they’ll soon be out of business.
So whether you frequently travel with pets or kids, are dealing with spilled beverages, mud, or daily wear and tear, you can be confident that your seat covers won’t hold you back. Even if they do experience that occasional spill or otherwise, they’re pretty easy to clean.
Dramatic Interior Upgrade
Your seats take up a large part of your interior. If you’re modifying your truck to improve it’s appearance, seat covers are probably the most dramatic change you can make.
I would compare upgrading seats to something like a new set of wheels. They look great online and in your imagination, but they look even better in person and really change the overall appearance of a truck. If you’re after some big changes as a part of a bigger aesthetic plan, PRP provides just that. Way beyond any cheap black or red set you typically se online. The customization really lets you put your own touch on your inside, in subtle or very loud ways.
I would call it “easy” as well. There’s nothing complicated about install a set of covers. It does take patience, but its straightforward.
Improve/Protect Resale Value
If your truck is older than 5-10 years or had multiple owners, it happens that your seats are worse for wear.
If you add a set of quality covers, not only do you get to enjoy them yourself, but the next person who buys your truck will likely take a clean interior appearance into account as well. Additionally, those who really put their trucks to work could benefits by protecting their factory seats (especially leather ones) from damage. That could ultimately translate into better resale given great condition of your interior when you go to sell it.
While these are more minor details, they certainly still apply at some level.
Final Thoughts
So who are these best for? Literally anyone. From those who have an older 2G that’s seen better days to a brand new 4G that only came with factory cloth seats. If any of the previous reasons resonate with you, make sure you check out PRP.
Over the years, I’ve seen a ton of builds running PRP. And last year, I finally got a set to see for myself. They’re definitely a premium product, but you get what you pay for. Don’t be surprised if cheaper options don’t last, that’s just the nature of this product category.
Combing protection, customization, and durability… you get PRP.
