    Not in my opinion.

    So I've heard.

    We started using those, and they do suck royally. They're made for the driver that weighs 400 lbs.

    I drove a truck last week that had one of those. The most annoying thing was not being able to adjust the back at all. Unlike SOME drivers I know, I actually have to be sitting up straight. I can't drive halfway laying down like I'm cruising through the "hood".

    The other problem is the automatic adjustment function. It does make for a nice ride..... IF you're five feet nothing tall. I don't like practically sitting on the floor either.

    I've had the Legacy Silvers in both of my trucks now. I like them.

    No. "Fiddy cent" isn't worth TWO cents IMO...

    In this case, why not have the seats re-upholstered in leather?

    I would love to find a seat made for a 6'0" tall - 175 pound normal person. Every seat I can find is a "wide ride" or something to that effect. My back always hurts from holding myself up all day. I have tried pillows and rolled up blankets... Everything to support me on the sides, its like having no armrests.

    Ingrenshausen. Had two in my Cascadia, both with heat/cool. By far nicest place my butt/back has ever resided.
