Av8r3400 Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 I don't remember if I asked this before or not, so here goes (again)... The seats in my truck are pretty tired and need to be replaced. Finding a dealer with a any on the floor to sit in or try is impossible around here, so I'm looking to the folk out there on the forum to tell me what you have and why you got it (them). I've been doing internet searches and have lots of opinions, but no answers...

geodog1 Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 If you want the best (in my opinion) you will start with Knoedler Air Chief. They are expensive, but they are very comfortable, customizable and durable. I bought one for my navigator and she loves it..

Sparky242 Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 I have the Legacy Silver seats with heat. I like them, the local Volvo and Peterbuilt dealer had them on the show room floor so I could sit in them (no air connected). I was at the Volvo dealer in Duluth on Thursday, and they had 3 different brands of seats on display if you get up this way.

Brad & Jacolyn Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 We could not find any place to try them. We bought the Legacy seats last year from Seats Inc. We took a chance and of sight unseen but A friend had just got some and he loved them so we ordered the same. Now every time my wife gets in she says 'A Happy butt is good'.

Av8r3400 Posted April 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2022 I had to stop through the Volvo dealer today and they had a pair of Seats Inc. Pinnacles on display, leather and fabric. So far that looks like the right mix of price versus quality versus features.

dlcarsonak Posted April 7, 2022 Report Share Posted April 7, 2022 I bought a Legacy. Last summer I was driving over 500 miles a day hauling dirt and that seat kept my happy, so I have one in my truck now.

lappir Posted April 7, 2022 Report Share Posted April 7, 2022 When I take my long trips about every 6 to 10 months I think about buying a new seat, but then I arrive at my destination and decide it's not necessary till the next trip and I arrive again. If I start driving a lot, a new seat would be important. For my current needs, I can't justify the costs.
