    Yeah, right? Never had one that long. I guess it’s not that bad. It’s the cheapest one they sell. Long overdue for replacement. Lol. It takes a few weeks, to tell if it’s a good fit.

    Just need to find a Dealership, with a good display. Depending on where you’re at, they’re out there.

    Wolverine Freightliner in Detroit had about a dozen take outs. Good prices, I couldn’t find anything I liked. Sometimes you can get lucky, and find a deal on a take out. Especially if you only need one.

    Freightliner has the Legacy cloth on Sale for $598 with tax. Leather was a little more if you like leather. Got mine a month ago. 38726964-4131-4047-8E94-4FF9C2C5E6FE.jpeg

    Honestly, I’ve had the leather one in my previous truck and it was alright when it was new but after a couple months it just got so hard not to mention the heat it creates. I like the cloth better, no doubt.

    I’m a fat ### and the seat is comfy all 14 hour days. My girlfriend has the same seat (she is tiny) and she says its ok, better than stock.

    The seats are universal so I think I bought one at Peterbilt and one at freightliner when they went on sale.
