    Don't buy the LEGACY LO'S they are junk garbage they won't last a year. I bought 2 black n blue fake leather seats and I rather sit on a wooden box with a pillow b4 I waste any $ on seats inc again

    Anyone think it would be wise for me to put this http://www.superior-seats.com/Class8.htm The Luxor seat in my old Freightliner? The seat I have now has no air ride left, no padding left, and is ruining my back with every mile. I am not averse to spending a bit more on something that appears decent like this and not having back problems later. Anyone use this before?

    Hmm, there were a couple of guys that posted previously that said they loved their legacy silver seats. I suppose it's like anything else. Probably a matter of personal preference. I can't imagine them telling our mechanic that it had to be specially built though.

    Did you get your Legacy seat? How do you like it?

    I did, I should've come back and updated this. It's been in the truck for a couple of months now. I believe it's the most comfortable seat I've ever had in a truck. The bottom cushion seemed a little hard at first. We called seats inc. and the guy in CS told me that there's bands that run underneath that cushion. He said that it would get better with some time and it has! It wish the truck wasn't a day cab and I could slide it back a little further because it sits closer to the pedals than the old one.

    The lumbar support is without a doubt the best one I've ever had in a truck seat. They've always hit me in the wrong spot and most of them have been as hard as a brick bat. This one's very comfy and actually has some give in it. The arm rests are also unlike any I've ever seen. They're longer and a little wider than the old ones. The adjustment knobs are large and easy to move unlike most I've seen. So far, I give it 2 thumbs up.
