Seat Covers for ISUZU D-MAX 06/2012 - 06/2020 ON DUAL CAB CHASSIS UTILITY FR BLACK PREMIUM

Black Premium jacquard, cut for the Isuzu D-Max dual cab chassis of 06/2012 to 06/2020, and this is the FR set — front and rear, headrests and armrests with it. Concrete dust is what finishes a D-Max base cushion. It rides in on trousers, works down between the fibres and stays there, sanding the cloth from the inside every time somebody shifts their weight.

Dust does not sit on cloth, it works into it

Vacuum a five-year-old site ute and the cushion still looks grey. That is because grit is not on the surface, it is down in the pile, and every movement of a body across the seat drags those particles against the fibres. The result is a base that thins and goes shiny long before anything actually tears. A cover cannot undo that, but it can take the abrasion instead of the trim, and it is far easier to pull one off and hose it down than to get a factory cushion clean.

Both rows, because the back seat cops it too

FR in this range means front and rear, and on a dual cab that is the whole cab. The rear bench is where the toolbag lands, where the esky slides on a Friday and where the apprentice sits in wet gear. Headrests and armrests are covered as well, and the supplier lists storage pockets on both rows. Buying a fronts-only pack for a dual cab leaves the seat that gets the least respect completely unprotected, which is worth thinking about before you choose.

Eight model years, and the grade list

Title and supplier text agree for once: 06/2012 to 06/2020, dual cab. The grades named are SX, LS, LS-T, LS-U, Highride, LS-Terrain, X-Runner and X-Rider, with SX appearing twice in the supplier's own list and LS-U and Highride split into separate entries, where elsewhere in this range they are written as one grade. Read that list as indicative and check your build plate against it rather than trusting the spelling.

Key features

• Whole cab: covers for the front seats and the rear bench, armrests and headrests included.

• Water resistant: stated as resistant only, with no waterproof claim anywhere in the source.
• Pockets on both rows: front and rear storage, per the supplier's feature list.
• No trimmer required: the supplier says professional fitting is not needed.

The parts nobody checks

• Airbags. Two words appear in the supplier's feature list on this subject: airbag compatible. Nothing follows them. Whether a bolster seam is stitched to release is not stated, and no standard is quoted, so the claim sits here as the supplier's rather than ours. Find the airbag label on the side of your own seat before you start, and if it is there, hand the job to a qualified fitter.
• Cab type. Dual cab chassis, as printed on the title. A single cab D-Max takes a different pack.

Grit is patient and the sun never lets up. Confirm your grade and build month, and the trim underneath stops ageing from today.
