Mine have held up well..just had some nasty stains from oil and grease and what not but no actual wear. I have some cheap seat covers on from amazon right now and they match the color of the interior quite well.

I have pondered having mine redone in solid Black with blue stitching. Right now they have Dodge seat covers, I havnt looked under them since I bought it. I do know there is a small tear that was fixed on the pass seat tho.

Im wondering if other vehicles would be a direct bolt in, like Caravan or Durango seats.

It's nice to know I'm not the only one that's been looking to get new seats. I've been searching ebay for a cheap pair of dakota seats roughly the same year and haven't found much. I might have to just order some durango seats and see if they fit.

I had mine reupholstered with leather and Suede, the also added more Foam where it was needed. I've had it done for about 3 years and still looks new.

I was lucky enough to find a guy that was parting out his 2007 laramie...he sold me both front and rear leather seats for $200. I was happy to find that they fit just fine in my truck to replace the stock 2005 cloth seats. Had fun stripping them down to the frame and seeing that there was hardly any change in the year difference. Nice to have newer foam. Plus, having a powered drivers side was nice too.
