I have the same ones. Pretty easy install, but I have to look closer at the back seat console one again - doesn't want to flip up into the close position all the way....I sure just an adjustment is needed, but I never sit back there.

checkster, I have the same covers and have a little issue on the center console flip up. There seems do always be a gap were the bottom attaches. THe corner pieces don't seem to hold it in place right. Any ideas? Were did you get the door panel? Have you seen the dash cover?

I have the same seats. I've also had leather in other pickups. I live in West Texas, Souther NM area. We get hotter than you will in the summer. Won't compete with your humidity. I've never had a problem with the leather sets, even over 100 degrees. I think it all false expectations.

they are very easy to install. a first timer could expect to do all seats and consoles in about and hour or so. they do fit perfect. not a crease anywhere. you can get sample of the colors from them. the charcoal matches excellent with the lighter dash and door pieces in the slate gray interior. they said the gray was really light.

Is there a megacab with different size headrests?

don't know, but that was the one problem i had. my mega has 2 larger headrests in the front, and 3 smaller ones in the back. when they made mine they made 4 the size of the front ones, and one smaller one for the rear center. i called them, and their computer showed what they had sent, but they remade the 2 rear ones no questions asked. had them in a week. i guess i have a set of backup front headrest covers now. so, you probably won't need it, but if you do, their customer service was great.

My family has had leather seats in cars for more than 40 years, in Dallas (with the humidity, pollution index and heat, hotter than any place mentioned so far).
They're a lot more comfortable than cloth, in our opinion, as you don't get all clammy on them. Cloth seats feel terrible, IMO, and you can't scootch around on them. They do nothing but absorb dirt.
You do have air-conditioning, don't you?
Just park the front end out of the sun and/or use a windshield cover (I bought mine from dealer).
To keep them nice (and the vinyl) use LEATHERIQUE and the associated cleaner. There is absolutely nothing better. Nothing. I brought my wife's 45-yr old saddle back from dry, stiff and shedding to a pliable state which will keep it good for years to come. Took off all that old sweat/salt that had gotten down into it. Stay away from the fad-of-the-month miracle, LEATHERIQUE has been around more than forty years and is still the best.
When we go to sell a car after 12 years or so, the leather is uncracked, just creases. All soft.
