Rear Seat Covers

The front seats get all the attention, but the rear takes more daily abuse than most owners realize. Passengers loading from tight spaces, kids in muddy boots, gear sliding across a folding bench on the way to a job site. It adds up fast. By the time a driver addresses the front seat, the back is already well past due. Finding covers that match the original material and account for fold-down mechanisms takes more than a universal cover can deliver.

Factory-Matched Rear Seat Covers For Trucks And SUVs

Why Rear Seats Wear Down Faster Than You Notice

Rear seats in trucks take damage differently from the front seats. When passengers load through a crew cab door, the entry angle places greater lateral stress on the outer edge of the cushion than does front-seat entry. Tool bags and loose gear sliding across a folding bench create abrasion damage that compounds faster than daily front-seat wear. Most owners discover the problem with back seat covers for trucks once the foam starts showing through the surface material.

Where Rear Seat Damage Concentrates

The outer edges of the rear cushion and the lower quarter of the seat back take the greatest load during passenger entry. In 60/40 split configurations, the seam between the two panels is a consistent failure point because the fold mechanism stresses the upholstery along that line with every use.

Why Rear Covers Need Their Own Design

A rear cover that doesn't account for seatbelt pass-throughs, fold-down points, and under-seat storage access will interfere with seat function. Our Seat Covers page covers the complete lineup of positions and configurations we build across all supported vehicles.

Truck Rear Seat Covers And Configurations

Truck rear seat covers must be ordered by exact configuration because differences between cab styles and trim levels affect how a cover is patterned. A SuperCab rear seat is fundamentally different from a SuperCrew, and a full bench differs from a 60/40 split in ways a shared pattern cannot accommodate.

Bench Rear Seat Covers

Full-bench configurations are common in work trucks and base-trim models. For trucks with rear armrests integrated into the bench, the cover must account for that panel separately to maintain both function and appearance across the full seating surface. Our Truck Seat Covers collection covers bench and split configurations across the most popular truck models by year and trim.

60/40 Split Rear Configurations

Split covers are designed for the two-section fold-down configuration common in crew-cab trucks. Each section folds independently, so each cover must allow for that range of motion without bunching or restricting the fold angle under passenger weight.

The back seat takes the same daily punishment as the front, just less visibly. When it is time to address it, we build the cover to the same factory standard as every other position in your vehicle. Find your truck by year and trim, confirm your rear seat configuration, and let us get your interior back where it started.

What To Look For In A Rear Seat Cover

Choosing seat covers for back seat positions involves different requirements than for front seats in the same vehicle. These five factors determine whether a rear cover restores the interior correctly or creates new issues during daily use. 

  • Fold-Down Compatibility: Any cover for a truck with folding seats must flex with the fold mechanism without pinching, restricting movement, or placing stress on stitching at the fold line.
  • Seatbelt Pass-Through Points: Rear covers need properly placed cutouts for seatbelt hardware. A cover without these forces the belt through the upholstery or bypasses the retractor entirely.
  • OEM Attachment Methods: Factory anchor points in the rear seat vary by configuration. A cover using generic clips or straps shifts out of position under normal passenger load.
  • Material Match Across All Positions: Using different material grades front and rear creates a visible inconsistency. Our covers use the same material specification across all positions in a complete set.
  • Configuration-Specific Patterning: A bench pattern applied to a 60/40 split fits neither correctly. Always order by your exact rear seat type. Our Heavy Duty Truck Seat Covers collection addresses HD-specific configurations for 3/4-ton and 1-ton owners.

Matching these five factors ensures a cover that installs correctly and stays in position through real-world use.

Ford F-150 Rear Seat Cover Fit And Details

The F-150 has one of the most varied rear-seat lineups of any truck. SuperCab models have smaller fold-down rear seats with limited entry space, while SuperCrew models feature full-bench or 60/40 split seats built to a different pattern entirely. Rear trim levels add further variation, with Lariat and higher configurations including fold-up cushions, integrated storage, and heated rear seat elements that affect cover construction.

Supercrew 60/40 Split Coverage

The SuperCrew 60/40 split rear is the most common F-150 rear configuration we build. Each side folds independently, the cushion folds separately from the backrest, and the base includes under-seat storage on many trim levels. Our F150 Rear Seat Cover collection covers the full range of F-150 rear configurations by year and trim.

Heated Rear Seat Compatibility

F-150 Lariat and higher trim levels with rear heated seats require covers that maintain airflow and access to the heating elements, as the factory seat was designed to operate. We build these configurations to account for the heating system from the pattern stage.

Installation For Rear Seat Covers

Rear cover installation follows the same process as front covers, with configuration-specific steps that vary by cab type and seat design. No special tools beyond a hog ring plier are required for most installations.

Removing And Prepping The Rear Seat

Most truck rear seats detach with only a few base bolts. Removing the seat before installing the cover provides full access to all attachment points and produces a tighter, cleaner result than working with the seat still in the vehicle.

Warranty And VIN Confirmation

At The Seat Shop, every rear seat cover ships with a two-year manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Include your VIN at checkout to confirm the correct configuration, trim, and color match before your order goes into production.

Installation Support Options

Whether you prefer to tackle the job yourself or have a professional handle the installation, we offer resources to help. Many rear seat cover installations can be completed at home with basic hand tools and a hog-ring plier, and we provide model-specific installation videos to guide you through the process. If you'd rather leave the work to an experienced installer, our Install Locator can help connect you with qualified professionals familiar with our products and a wide range of rear seat configurations.

Will replacing the rear upholstery affect access to under-seat storage compartments?

No. Our replacement covers are designed around factory seat functions, including storage access where applicable.

Can I order just the rear cover without buying front seat covers too?

Yes, rear covers are available as a standalone order without requiring front seat covers.

Can rear seat covers be ordered if the original upholstery color code sticker is missing?

Yes. We can often verify the correct interior configuration using your VIN and vehicle information.

How do I match the rear cover color if I already replaced my front seats separately?

Provide your previous order number at checkout so we can source material from the same color lot.

How do I identify whether my rear seat has a bench or a 60/40 split configuration?

Check your owner's manual, or confirm whether the rear backrest folds in one piece or two separate sections.

Do any rear seat cover options work with older trucks that have rear-facing jump seats?

Jump seat configurations vary widely. Contact our team to confirm fitment availability for your specific truck and year.
