Yeah if someone can't find seat covers for a 4Runner his Google Fu is seriously lacking...

I’m having difficulty deciding between OR versus ORP and mainly cloth versus Softex (Sunroof is plus or minus for me). I have a 50# dog and an infant. The cloth seems better for the dog nails but softex is better for baby spit up (and thus clean up). Just wondering if ppl with the softex (and no seat protectors) thought it was still holding up with dog nails? I’m currently leaning towards cloth. Thank you!

No problem with nails, but there's one stubborn muddy paw print in the front seat that doesn't want to clean up. From 70lb lab.

I'm new to the 4Runner world, but I have three dogs who are very energetic and go with us everywhere that we are able to take them, weather permitting (it gets HOT inside of vehicles here in AZ). They were used to riding with their paws on the center console of my Jeep Liberty CRD before I got the 4Runner, so they like to try to do the same thing now and are always popping their front paws over the folded rear seats to try to stand next to us in the front. Initially I freaked out about trying to keep their paws off the console until I could find a cover for it, but a little over a month in I have already realized that the Softex is way more resilient than I expected. They regularly ride with their paws on the center console and our smallest dog, a ~20# Jack-Russel/Schnauzer mix, occasionally scampers over the console to jump down at my wifes feet to lay on the floor for longer car rides. After cleaning with some synthetic leather cleaner and wiping down with the ECP Softex protector from Toyota, you cant even tell that there have been dogs in the vehicle!

On top of that, we went out camping a couple of weeks ago and someone out in the woods was firing a gun off, which scares the crap out of the aforementioned dog, so we decided to let her jump in the car to "hide". She decided to make a "nest" in the driver seat and proceeded to scratch at the seat for what was probably 60 seconds or more by the look of things. The whole seat was scratched up and had that whitish-grey disturbed look. As a new-to-me vehicle, I was pissed. After camping, we loaded up and headed home. By the time we jumped out of the vehicle 4 or 5 hours later, and much to my surprise, just our butts moving in the seats had "polished" the scratches out and you couldn't even tell they were there. Another quick cleaning and protectant coating and they seriously look like the seats out of a showroom vehicle.

Needless to say, I am very impressed with the Softex upholstery and based on the look of the cloth seats in my buddies Tacoma (with 2 dogs and now 2 kids), I would never settle for cloth seats expecting them to hold up better than Softex. Alone it may not be worth the upgrade to Premium, but if thats whats keeping anyone on the fence, I would recommend the Softex.

I have a medium/large sized dog and currently have this seat cover for the rear seats

Rear Seat Dog Cover
– 4Knines(R)


I have leather but still wouldn't trust her nails on the leather seats

Isn’t it a better idea to keep the dog in a kennel in the back of the truck?
You could avoid most of the mess and damage that can happen.

First long road trip coming up in a few weeks. I was concerned about the softtex durability as well and the dog getting by injured falling into the footwell while off road (or some a-hole cutting me off). So, I threw this together with some scrap ply and carpet. So far the dog loves it she can scratch, chew, as hyper ACD’s love to do…. FYI, girlfriend sits in back or stays home.

I have a small dog but I haven't had any issues with damage to the softex. I'm really impressed with it. We go out on the beach a lot and I'll put her in the back seat with her sandy paws on the way back. I always clean the interior when we get back though. I use my shop vac for the sand, wipe the seats down with a lightly soapy rag and go over them with some interior detailing wipes and the softex looks showroom fresh again. It's been a couple years and they still look brand new. I wouldn't want cloth or leather in a vehicle like this. I don't think it would hold up as well.

You guys are nuts to let an animal wander in a moving car unrestrained. The amount of kinetic energy contained in a 10lb dog in a situation where the vehicle comes to a very quick stop is massive. Where talking force that will easily snap a neck or crush a skull. Lock your dogs up in kennel and strap it to the floor.

I have a good friend from work that is largely paralyzed and can't talk because he was involved in a rollover and his unsecured laptop bag hit him in the back of the head at around 15mph during the rollover. That's all it took.

Thanks for sharing. People don’t realize how dangerous loose items are. Sad to hear about your friend. Keep passing on the safety sense in his honor and I’m sure he would appreciate it.

Mine has been great, haven't had any issues. But if you want to make sure you can always just put down a blanket, dogs prefer that anyways I think.
