    The factory seat in my 379 has had it, the base is worn out and the bottom cushion is shot. I would prefer a midback, low profile seat. I have sat in a seats inc legacy low and bostrom wide ride low, both feel nice sitting on the floor at the dealer, but I am looking for real world in-the-truck experience. I run regional, sometimes I am in and out of the truck 10-15 times a day. Please include make and model of what you have, what type of covering it has, how it has held up over how long of a time, any issues you have had with it, what you like/dont like about it and maybe even a pic in you ride if you have one! Thanks in advance.

    Got the Sears Elite in 09. Leather. Between the seat and the wood steeringwheel...wow! I thought at one time that a leather seat would make me sweat, it doesn't. The most important thing about a seat isnt the back support, but how it feels against the back of your legs. I dont get that 'restless' feeling, where you want to kick your legs around and move (circulation), so I can stay in the saddle all day. Its starting to wear on the left side from use, but the padding and everything is still holding up well.

    BTW, I got the Sears Elite because there was a deal on them, and my factory seat was gone. Which one is the best, I dont know, I'd probably wager that any of the other brands of aftermarket seats would be better than the ordinary stiff factory seats. The difference is like a cheap mattress and box spring compared to one of those pillowtop name brand adjustable memory foam sleep number matresses that you see in commercials.

    Legacy low pro in leather.....awesome seat!
    The Pete dealer had the best price on them.....531 bucks!

    I can ride all day on that seat and not be sore. Love the long armrests and how it sits.
    Was looking at the Series 80 seats but I think the Legacy is just as good and almost half the price.
