We don't sell cars and trucks, but we sure know how to protect them. The latest edition of the Chevrolet Tahoe has been an extremely popular SUV and we were able to outfit this model with some custom fit accessories. Check out some of the latest offerings for the Chevy Tahoe from California Car Cover.
This 2017 Chevrolet Tahoe definitely need a floor mat upgrade. The lightweight OE floor mats were much thinner and smaller than our custom fit carpet floor mats from Lloyd Mats. This tailor made floor mats are larger to protection more of your interior, thicker for added comfort and just look better. The added Chevrolet bowtie logo applique adds a stylish look to the interior.
Here is a comparison of the Lloyd Mat Ultimat compared to the OE 2017 Chevrolet Tahoe floor mats. The mats at the top are from Lloyd mats. They are much larger and thicker than the OE mats and still feature OE anchors for easy attachment.
To keep the interior cooler, we picked up a custom fit auto sun shade from Intro-Tech. The Ultimate Reflector is available for the 2017 Chevrolet Tahoe and 2,800 other vehicle applications. The thick, insulated sun shade keeps your interior cool. Say goodbye to scalding hot steering wheels, seat belts and seats in the summer time.

To protect interior carpet from dirt and spills, we selected a custom fit Weathertech DigitalFit Cargo Liner. The mat's raised edge and grooves keep mud, water and grime on the mat and off your interior. This particular liner is designed for use with the 3rd row seats up and in use. Weathertech offers this mat, plus a larger mat with the 3rd row seats of the Chevrolet Tahoe folded down. Either mat is available at California Car Cover.

California Car Cover recently added a 2017 Ford Escape to its fleet, so of course we had to outfit it with some accessories to protect it while on the road. We don't know how to paint or customize cars, but we sure know how to protect vehicles and keep them looking new for long as possible.
The first step was to improve the interior protection of the Ford Escape. By upgrading the vehicle's floor mats, we were able to better protect the factory interior from dirty shoes and spills.
We selected a set of Lloyd Mat Ultimat custom fit carpet floor mats for the 2017 Ford Escape. These plush carpet floor mats are custom fit for the vehicle. The mats are designed to not only look great, but provide comfort and protection.
The Lloyd Mat Ultimat floor mats are much larger and thicker than the Ford OE floor mats. The mats do utilize the factory mounting tabs to secure the floor mats in place. Lloyd Mat offers a variety of custom fit carpet and rubber floor mat options for the Ford Escape and 1,000s of other vehicles on the road.
To protect the rear floor carpet from messy kids (and employees), we selected a custom fit Weathertech Digital Fit floor liner. These molded liners have a raised edge to prevent dirt and grime from getting all over your vehicle. These liners will keep dirt and trampled snacks from transferring to the Ford Escape's interior.
A custom fit Weathertech cargo liner was also chosen to protect the trunk area of the Ford Escape. Need to protect your interior before a trip to the beach, baseball practice or home improvement store? Make sure you pick up one of these liners beforehand.
Sunlight and harmful UV rays can damage your interior and increase heat
inside the vehicle. We suggest a custom fit sun shade and dash cover to
protect the interior of the Ford Escape.
The Ultimate Reflector Sun Shade is custom fit for the Ford Escape. This insulated sun shade has a reflective exterior layer to reduce heat to keep your interior, especially the steering wheel, much cooler. The folding sun shade installs in just seconds and is tailor made for your vehicle.
Protect your dashboard from fading and cracking with a custom fit Dash Designs dash cover. Dash Designs offers a variety of materials and color combinations for dash covers. We selected a Dashtex dash cover for the 2017 Ford Escape. The sporty style of the Dashtex material looks good inside the Ford Escape.
Now that we have the floor surfaces protected the next step is to protect the seating surfaces in the Ford Escape. The rear bench seat needed some protection from kids and pets, so we opted for a CalTrend custom fit rear bench seat cover in their NeoSupreme material. The CalTrend seat cover is custom fit for the 2017 Ford Escape. This seat cover features covers for the separate headrests and armrests, plus allows for access to the center armrest and inside mount seat belt for the middle seat. Custom fit seat covers are the best way to get a great fitting seat cover that does not sacrifice comfort, convenience or safety.
It took us about 30 minutes to install the CalTrend NeoSupreme rear bench seat cover in the Ford Escape. The seat cover provides a snug fit so it does not wrinkle or warp when used, but this means the covers do take a little time to install. The result though is a custom fitted seat cover that gives you an OE look and protection.
CalTrend offers a number of different seat cover materials and color combinations, so no matter what seat cover you are looking for, CalTrend likely has a cover for you.
To let some fresh air into the 2017 Ford Escape without too much wind or noise, we installed some Weathertech Side Window Deflectors. These deflectors install in just minutes and are a convenient way to reduce interior heat and improve air circulation.
Our last step was to outfit the 2017 Ford Escape with a custom fit California Car Cover. We selected one of our Superweave car covers for the Escape because of its ease of use and overall weather protection. The lightweight material is easy to handle and folds down small for taking to trade shows or on road trips. It provides excellent water resistance and UV protection.
