    I'm looking at seats and would like to hear from anyone who has experience with the Knoedler seats and the ProBax foam.

    I need a new seat. Anyone with a Freightliner Classic suggest a good model to go with?

    I bought a Knoedler mid back about 6 months ago. I'm not sure about the foam part. I have the 2 color leather, pnuematic swing, heat and AC.

    Pro's- quick adj, I love how the arms adj, I don't use the heat, bought just for the AC, seems hard, but can run 8 hours no problem (kind of reminds me of a corbin motor cycle seat if you ride)

    Con's- $2000, I couldn't find anywhere to sit in one before I bought one, heat/AC/swing adds height and didn't come with a different seat belt bar to make up for so I ended up buying a seatbelt extension from Napa, had to plasma cut a hole in the adapter plate to run the air line through it for my KW where it comes through the floor, arm rest still aren't long enough.

    I kinda missed the point of the seat swing at first. I thought it would swing in to the center so I could watch tv from the drivers seat. So I was disappointed when it swung to the door. So I didn't use it for the first 3 or 4 months. Then someone filled me in that it was to keep the edge of your seat foam fresh and to keep it from getting worn through and cracked like happens with leather seats. I'm getting used to it, but I hop right out all the time and then remember.
