    Howbout your passenger seat? I like my OEM seat but pulled my passenger seat for the space, at around 750k. I moved it over to the driver position and so now I basically have a new OEM seat. Happy.

    It's a frame seat. No air ride.

    They are decent for a year or two depending on your weight, then start getting flimsy, because build quality and materials are cheap

    We have a few of the legacy’s in different trucks and they have been fine, I have a heated one in my 97 but I have to flip the arm rest down on the passenger seat to get into my bunk

    The Bostrom I’ve had for 11 yrs now, is probably the worst I’ve ever had. Can’t rebuild it It’s been wore out for years. Never buy another, along with National. Sears seating seems good. Never had one.The minimizer seems over rested and over priced. Hard plasti arm rests, Hard cushions

    I could not stand the sears seat in the last company truck I had, but that was also partially the low base,

    Ive got the ones where the inside armrests tuck back and away from the center of cab, so my fat butt can get through easier. In a 95 379.

    A Sears, I think.
