Seat Covers for TOYOTA HI ACE TRH-KDH SERIES 03/2005 - 2015 LWB UTILITY VAN FRONT HIGH BUCKET + _ BENCH WITH FOLD DOWN ARMREST/TRAY CHARCOAL CHALLENGER

Grey rather than black: charcoal is the second finish in this Challenger canvas range for the long-wheelbase Hiace. Everything else is shared with the black version — same pattern, same cloth, same build codes — so the decision comes down to how you want the cabin to look once the van is back at work.

Where a van seat actually gives up

A courier climbs in and out of that driver's seat dozens of times a day, and the outer bolster goes long before the base does. Cotton canvas suits that duty because it is woven heavy enough to absorb the rubbing. Underneath, a layer of high-density polyurethane foam is what the supplier points to for comfort, strength and thermal insulation. UV resistant and water resistant are the words used for the canvas; neither means sealed.

Goes on in the yard, not in a workshop

No professional installation is required, according to the supplier, so a van in daily service can have the covers fitted between jobs instead of being booked off the road. What gets covered is the front high bucket and the two-place bench beside it, with its fold-down armrest and tray, headrests included. There is a pocket at the back for a logbook. Heavy-duty polyester forms the skirting.

Which Hiace this suits

The paperwork disagrees with itself on years. Title: 03/2005 to 2015. Supplier description: 2005 to 2016. We publish the pair and let you judge. Model identification is the safer route — TRH201R, TRH221R, KDH200R, KDH220R, KDH221R, single or crew cab. That code sits on the build plate and does not change.

Worth knowing first

• Airbag note: compatibility is the supplier's claim and is published here as theirs. No tear seam is described, no standard named. Inspect your seat for a side airbag module and satisfy yourself the cover suits it, or have an auto trimmer look at it.
• Two year ranges: the title and the description differ. Go by the build code.
• Rear of the van: not included in this kit.

Charcoal suits owners who want the front row tidied up without the whole cabin going dark.
