    My 2006 Tundra v6 (access cab) truck has the bucket seat for the driver and the "bench" seat for the center and passenger - I think it's called a "40/60" type seat?

    There are holes in the back of the driver's side seat of my "new to me" 2006 Tundra (sort of as if a small child sat in the back seat and kicked the back of the front seat (smile!)) It also has small holes and worn spots on the door side of the driver's seat.

    I really only need a cover for the driver's seat. I've searched this forum and the internet for seat cover recommendations for this truck but none show whether or not the seat cover comes fully down the back side of the seat, where the main holes are. And none show just the driver's side seat cover without having to buy the whole set (I'll buy the whole set if I have to, though.)

    Hoping for an inexpensive set!
    Any recommendations for me?
    Thanks!

    I bought seat covers for my 2002 Limited access cab from Carhartt. You need to buy the two front bucket seat set. Very comfortable and attractive, if you like the brown Carhartt jacket fabric and color.

    Thank you! I'll check them out!
    I bought an inexpensive set yesterday just to get my driver's side seat covered...but I now remember how much I dislike the one piece seat. It pushes me forward - I always feel as if I'm sliding right off the front of the seat!
    So I cut the one piece seat cover into two pieces, one for the seat back and one for the actual seat itself. Then I sewed a piece of fabric, along with some elastic, onto each piece, to make each long enough to reach underneath in between the seat back and seat to attach to itself. I then installed each seat piece separately. Don't know how well the corners will hold up - there's a lot of stress at two points - but the seat cover looks good and is much more comfortable.
    Sooo...my next question is how to find a seat cover for the driver's side seat that comes in two pieces; one for the seat back, covering the front and back, and one separate piece for the seat itself.

    Those are great looking seat covers!!
    Is the top (seat back part) separate from the seat part - i.e., are there two separate pieces for each seat?

    3 pieces. Seat bottom. Seat back. Headrest. Oh and arm rest if your seats have that so 4 pieces each front seat. I got mine from Carid.com. Going to get the same cover for the back seat bench eventually.
