    Are you going to ask for the pros and cons of everything? You're not a driver, yet you're asking about truck amenities and their pros and cons in your first two posts. Since you're a "wannaBe", when you actually become a driver? You pretty much take what they give you... Try getting involved in a real conversation to gain posts instead of wasting time.

    Your wasting your own time replying, nobody made you reply. im just curious as to what other people think. i realize im not a driver yet and that you get what you get, im just thinking about what i would want for a truck.

    I have a KW studio with the couch. Couch is nice if you're going to be sitting around in the sleeper a lot. I rarely use mine as a couch but I never do a reset or more then just stop for the night in the sleeper.

    Its not a very comfortable bed when its folded out. I have a very good 4" memory foam mattress that I out on mine. Its pretty comfortable with that on it.

    I think the best of both world's would be to leave it as a couch and sleep on the top bunk. I don't feel like crawling up there though.

    One other advantage is passengers can sit on the couch when you're driving. It has seat belts.

    I like to sleep on the top bunk and leave the couch folded up in the "couch" position. I'm a skinny young guy though so It may be a little easier for me than some to get up in that top bunk LOL. The only thing missing from the sleeper is a good table... I think I am going to look into getting one of those removable tables that goes into a mount in the floor, like the ones in RVs, and put it in there.

    There are rules on specifications to qualify as a sleeper, if your couch cant convert to a sleeping bed and you dont have a top bunk you cant use sleeper option on the logbook
