A Ram's steering wheel is big, and you have a hand on it for every kilometre of towing, hauling and the daily drive. Constant use wears the rim smooth and summer sun makes it too hot to hold. A snug steering wheel cover addresses both at once, restoring grip and shielding the wheel. Cover Store offers steering wheel covers to suit Ram models, so you can keep that oversized rim comfortable and protected.
A wheel that works as hard as the truck
In a Ram used for towing, hauling and long-distance driving, the wheel gets gripped and turned almost constantly. That daily contact slowly wears the rim smooth and dulls the finish until it looks and feels tired. A cover takes the wear on itself instead, keeping the original wheel in good order underneath while giving you a fresh, purpose-made surface to hold — which matters on a vehicle you rely on to earn its keep.
Grip you can rely on
A bare rim turns slick with sweat in the heat and hard and cold in winter, neither of which inspires confidence when you are steering a large, heavy vehicle. A cover adds a secure, textured grip that holds up when your hands are damp or the drive is long. On a truck of this size, having a dependable, consistent hold on the wheel is a genuine benefit rather than just a nicety.
Beating the summer heat
Leave a Ram parked in the Australian sun and the wheel can become too hot to grab comfortably at all. A cover insulates the rim so you can get in and drive off straight away without waiting for it to cool down, and it blocks the UV that cracks and hardens an exposed wheel over the years. Given how our summers treat a dark cabin, that heat protection alone earns a cover its place.
Getting a snug fit
Because Ram wheels tend to be larger in both diameter and rim thickness than most, matching the cover to the wheel size really matters. A properly snug cover slips on firmly and will not twist or slide around under your hands, so it is worth checking your wheel against the sizing before ordering. On an oversized rim in particular, the right size is the difference between a cover that stays put and one that never settles.
Comfort on the long haul
Padding between your hands and the rim cuts the fatigue that builds up on the long drives and rough roads a Ram is built for. For anyone spending real hours behind the wheel towing or touring, that extra cushioning makes a noticeable difference to comfort and takes the edge off gripping a big, firm rim for hundreds of kilometres at a stretch. Small change, real payoff on a long day.
Keeping it hygienic
The wheel is one of the most handled and, frankly, grubbiest surfaces in the whole cabin, touched every trip and seldom cleaned. A cover wipes down easily and keeps that touch-point clean and hygienic, which is far simpler than trying to deep-clean the factory wheel itself. When it eventually needs a proper refresh, a cover is much more forgiving than the wheel material beneath it.
A small change you feel every drive
For all that it costs little and fits in minutes, a steering wheel cover is something you notice on every single drive of a Ram. The improved grip, the cooler rim in summer and the added comfort on long hauls all add up to a better experience behind the wheel, while the factory wheel stays protected underneath. On a truck you spend real hours driving, that daily payoff makes a cover one of the more worthwhile small upgrades you can make.
Rounding out the cabin
A steering wheel cover works alongside seat covers and floor mats for a coordinated, fully protected Ram interior. Once you have found the right size for your wheel, it is worth exploring the wider Ram range at Cover Store to protect the seats and floors too, so the whole cabin of your truck stands up to the years as well as the wheel does.
