    Lots of shops have LOTS of chrome (which IS nice)... However, that pretty don't do squat for my back and hips. I am looking to replace the seats in my W9. The Legacy seat looks nice and has really good ratings. I'm hoping to find something that's a little plushier and not so "work truck" if y'all know what I mean. I definitely want leather, something comfortable, and something I can order on swivel bases. Seats are pretty common to upgrade.... What did y'all buy and why??

    I bought another Bostrom Wide Glide. I had one in my Columbia and really liked it. More expensive than the Legacy,.. but so comfortable.

    I’m not a real big guy (5’9”, 175). I drove a truck a few years ago that had a Legacy and I liked it. So I bought one for my W9. No regrets.

    One thing I know is no two people are built exactly the same. What works for one feller may not work for the next guy.

    Swivel base probably won't work to well in that narrow kenworth cab.

    I got a new take out seat from a kw Dealer .....they ordered a bunch of trucks with the wrong seats.

    Heat / ac etc... it’s the top seat they put in at the factory.

    They were asking well over a $1000 , I offered much less and they took it......

    Edit... there all gone :(

    I liked my Legacy Silver and will probably get a Legacy Gold with heat for my new truck. They aren't cheap but its where I spend 90% of my time.

    Im 6' 275lbs. Not much fat. I have had 2 bostrom wide rides and I personally think riding on a board would be better. They are ok when new but with in 3 years they suck. And I dont run a ton of miles like most guys on here.
