    My experience with seats is what one person likes someone else may hate. Butts are all different.

    I'm driving a 2015 international 9900 that came with heated seats! I use it when I first start the truck, but after like 15 mins it's almost unbearably hot!

    My company removes the factory seats and installs Legacy seats at the request of the driver. Some like factory, I LOVE the legacy seats.

    I installed two Seats Inc Legacy Silver dura-leather high/wide backed with arm rests for about $650 each and then about $129 in installation. I attached a PDF of one of the installs done at Amarillo Freightliner in Texas.

    They've been good seats but things do wear. I need a shock absorber for them now and it probably wouldn't hurt to look at new cushion stuffing and maybe arm rest stuffing for the driver's side--since it's the most used.

    I'm glad I got them. I'll never do without at least the dura-leather seats again. They're so easy to clean and maintain, no stains etc. My next truck will get a set for sure.

    I bought the Legacy black leather seat at the Pete dealer.....It was the Lo Pro wide seat.
    Love the armrests too..
    The dealer had too many in stock and I walked out the door with it for 360 bucks still in the box!
