Seat Covers installed in Lightning - photos and feedback

[NightMoves]

Hey All,

This is my first post in the forum, SO excited to finally have my F-150 Lightning.

I have 3 kids under 5 years old so I need to fit 3 kids in the rear from time to time. That being said, I also need to protect the seats because there is always some kind of snacking going on (despite my efforts to limit this).

I ordered Seat Covers from Rough Country (roughcountry.com) and they fit extremely well. I was even able to order only the back seat covers since I don't want to cover the two front seats. Here's the link if you'd like to take a look on their site.

Installation was incredibly simple. It's basically just a few buckles that are well hidden under the seats. The price is also great and it fits really snug. The only thing that didn't quite fit well was the middle headrest - it was a bit small.

The only color it came in was a dark grey / light black color, but it still looks good with my two-tone grey seats in the front.

Hope this helps and looking forward to learning more about what others are doing.

Cheers,
Erik

I'm assuming that the drop down center console is obstructed, correct?

yes thank you, I meant to add that it does cover the middle console so you can not put it down.

In my case that’s ok since I have 3 car seats in the back anyway.

Thanks, great find... Looking at any of our cars around the car seats, this will be my first addition if the truck ever arrives....

I like that! I too am in three car seat club. I'm using individual seat protectors. My kids are expert crumb makers. Don't get me started on raisins!

Fellow three car-seater here. The vinyl seats in my Pro help my stress levels every time I hear an apple sauce packet get cracked open back there.

Oh, hell no!

I got this full set front and back from Amazon just under 120 dollars. It’s a tight snug fit that matches the pro vinyl seat and give it the OEM look. Only part that isn’t a good fit is front headrest but since the color matches the original seat color it’s harder to tell. If interested to see how it look I can snap some pic later.

Getting in and out, the seat cover doesn’t move so very happy with the seat and pricing.

If you fed me raisins I'd probably start sticking them in hiding places in your truck too!

Im graduated to 2 boosters (one with back and seat belt strap, and one basic booster) and just 1 car seat! The boosters are so so nice compared to the giant permanently strapped in car seat for my 3 year old!

I just have a single seat protector under the car seat and 1 on the back of the Drivers seat where the 3 year old sits and constantly kicks me!

My 3 girls love the lightning. Lots of requests to go "speedy fast"!

My breakdown is actually one car seat, two high back boosters. The boosters are definitely much nicer than car seats. It takes a minute to take out and install with very few swear words.

My three year old is in the center. She only kicks the center console!

I feel this thread deeply and will be checking out these covers as well. Thank you for the post!

Hey OP, can you tell if there’s car seat clip cut outs/openings? These look good to me and I need to set up two car seats on the left and right spots .

Yup if you mean the child seat locking clips then yes, they have the openings so you can use them on the left and right seat, but not the middle. We have to use the seat belt for the middle car seat but that’s also because there are no clips on the truck for the middle seat.

I'm looking for covers that let the cooling blow through. Also covers should be engineered to allow side airbag deployment. Does anyone know if covers like this exist for our Lightnings?

As a new Lightning owner and a father of an 8yr old and 3 yr old, this is the most important thread for me to start with on my Lightning journey!
