    When I get in the truck behind a man 6 inches shorter than me and the seat is on the bottom? I cannot stand it! Cannot see, no relief for the back but he runs about 2500 miles a week like that. Then the mirrors! Oh my God.
    My wife's seat and her mirrors. Do you want to drive? No your fine. What ever is done do not adjust her stuff.
    Just work with all that stuff and do what works for you.

    The best thing about adjustable seats is... they're adjustable.

    Same here. And I do not want the distance between me and the wheel & pedals changing.

    That's me right there.

    And besides, back & forth is what the rockin' chair is for!

    I have a friend the same way. I couldn’t drive 10 miles with it locked.

    Yup. If I'm on road I travel frequently, and I know they're good I prefer a more solid seat. If I'm on roads I know are crap, then I want the rocking to take some of the impact.

    Rocking while Rolling is the only way to ride. As long as it’s a good seat. Wore out seat sliding back till it stops is worse than being locked in. Just say NO to “Back Slap”
