Toyota Hilux GD6 Seat Covers: Complete Fitment Guide (2016–2026)

The Toyota Hilux GD6 is South Africa's best-selling bakkie. This guide covers every cab variant, the seat cover options available from Kindo Covers, what to expect during fitting, and how to choose the right configuration for your specific Hilux.

The Toyota Hilux GD6 has dominated South Africa's bakkie market since its 2016 introduction. Whether you own a no-nonsense Single Cab work bakkie, a practical Extra Cab or a fully loaded Double Cab 4×4, the right seat cover protects your investment and keeps the cabin looking factory-fresh year after year.

Which Toyota Hilux GD6 Do You Have?

Before ordering seat covers, identify your exact cab configuration. The GD6-generation Hilux (2016 onwards) is sold in three primary body styles:

  • Single Cab — two front seats only; available with full bench or bucket configurations depending on grade
  • Extra Cab (Xtra Cab) — two front buckets plus a small rear jump seat; the rear jump seat requires a separate, specific cover
  • Double Cab — four full-sized seats in two rows; the most common configuration sold in South Africa

The GD6 Double Cab is available in Raider, Legend, Legend RS, GR-Sport and various fleet grades. Seat cover fitment is consistent across all GD6 Double Cab grades because the interior seat architecture is identical. The main exception is the GR-Sport, which has sport-style bolstered seats that use a different pattern.

Kindo Covers: What's Available for the Hilux GD6

Any Car Seat Covers supplies Hilux GD6 seat covers from Kindo Covers, a South African seat cover manufacturer whose patterns are developed specifically for the South African and sub-Saharan African vehicle fleet. Kindo covers are made to fit without modification — no stretching, tucking or adapters required.

Double Cab (2016–2026)

The Double Cab cover set includes front row seat covers (driver and passenger) plus a full rear bench cover that accommodates the 60/40 split-fold rear seat. Covers fit over headrests and include apertures for rear seat belt receivers. The set is priced from R5,582.50 at standard markup.

Single Cab (2016–2026)

The Single Cab set covers the two front seats. Kindo offers both bench and bucket configurations. If your Hilux has a full bench front seat (common on base-grade work bakkies), specify the bench option — the bucket pattern will not sit correctly over a full bench.

Extra Cab / Xtra Cab (2016–2026)

The Extra Cab set covers the two front buckets. If you want to cover the small rear jump seats as well, these are ordered separately as the rear quarter panels are a different shape to a standard rear bench.

Materials Available

Kindo Covers seat covers are manufactured in a water-resistant woven fabric. The material is designed to tolerate South African conditions: high UV exposure, dust from gravel roads, and the wear patterns associated with daily bakkie use. The covers are breathable enough for summer use but robust enough for year-round protection.

Does Fitting Require a Professional?

No. Kindo Covers are designed for owner installation and come with a fitting guide. Most Hilux owners report the front seats take 15–20 minutes each and the rear bench takes 20–30 minutes. The process involves:

  1. Removing the headrests
  2. Sliding the cover over the seat back and securing the lower hem
  3. Fitting the seat base cover and tucking the edges into the seat track gap
  4. Replacing the headrests through the pre-cut headrest channels

No permanent modification to the vehicle is required and the covers can be removed and re-fitted.

Rubber Mats and Floor Protection

The Hilux GD6 Double Cab floor is available with laser-cut rubber mats or moulded floor mats. The rubber mat set uses a Universal-Plus cutting pattern trimmed for the Hilux floor area. Moulded mats (from the Escape Gear range) are 3D-scanned from the actual Hilux floor for a precision fit, with raised edges that contain spills.

What's Not Covered by Seat Covers

Seat covers protect the fabric or leather surface of your seats. They do not cover the dashboard, door panels or steering wheel. If you want complete interior protection for your Hilux GD6, consider a dash protector, which protects the instrument panel from UV fading and surface crazing — a common problem on vehicles parked in direct South African sun.
