Sears elite 80 OR Bostrom pro ride

My Atlas 80 had a similar squeak. I replaced parts and greased hinges...no luck.
The new owner hasn't reported that problem..

 

Out of all the trucks that I have driven and owned, the best seat i ever had was a stock factory one in a IH Eagle. Super comfortable and I never had a problem with my bum knee either. I have not been able to find one at a yard yet, but I know i can buy one from IH for about $1400......which I won't do, so i keep riding my Elite till I find something new.

My only 2 issues with my Elite are the bottom cushion won't extend out far enough for me and it's hard. And the arm rests drive me crazy as neither one adjusts to the same height (pass side will go almost to the roof and the dvr side will barely go to 90*)

 

Stopped by CIT this afternoon. The Elite 80 is more comfortable, though like the back height on the Legacy. Probably going to grab the 80 tomorrow. They did say the Legacy was redesigned about 18 months ago.

 

so apparently nobody has sit in a bostrom pro ride? I've had a wide ride before and it was absolute junk, but this pro ride looks like its built a bit better?

 

May be worth asking if Kenworth/Peterbilt can get Knoedler in their stores. Have not seen them as stock items, but Knoedler lists them as a vendor.

 

The sales rep at a local store said he hasn't had any complains on the Pro Ride. Asked him what was wrong with the wide rides & he said the lower cushion was thin/cheap.

As well, still haven't bought one yet. Want to see the Knoedler seat in person. Just need something taller than the Elite 80.

Great Lakes Peterbilt has three Knoedlers for $895. All 3 leather, one low ride.
