    I recently purchased my first truck (2007 FTL Columbia) and the factory seat is a little less than comfortable. I was hoping someone here could post a link to an aftermarket seat they have bought and like. I think the seats in this 2007 Columbia are lower profile than I am used to as well. Any pointers would be appreciated.

    I have a Elite seat from Sears and it is the best I have ever had.

    http://www.searsseating.com/truck-seats/

    I bought mine at Freightliner in OKC for around $750 each and they have a bunch of them in stock. I have seen other places selling them for $950. They are good seats and last.

    This seat is only made in Canada , I like it the best. If you have a rough riding truck This seat will isolate you from it, This is not an ordinary air ride seat. You must pay strict attention as how to operate it. http://www.seatscanada.com/catalogue/eldoradovip.htm , about $450.00

    Heres the number, its in Canada! there is a way to get one , but although Seats INC. in USA and Canada are same company, there is some hidden agreement between them . If I remember corectly call canada get seat model # , then call a seats inc USA dealer and they can order one for you. I allready aranged it with Peterbilt Dealer in Sacramento....so if you get to Sac.... some time GOOD LUCK!
