Havin a bench in my truck, I'm biased. I mean you can sleep on it esier than buckets, and it looks cool IMO.

Slammer,

I would never run subs in any truck of mine. I was raised in a logging family and we listened to the engine so we could hear it if it began to fail. My fathers rules so I do not install radios or anything in my trucks. Can not hear the pipes, engine, rear gears, or tranny with that thumpin stuff in the cab. I am almost deaf from running saws and log skidders so i do not need the help in my Cab. And as far as big guy. Dude, I stand 6', 265 pounds. I am no small fry and I still prefer my bench.

Hammer

im 6'4" 250 pounds.. honestly it is more of a preferance to me.... i like buckets because you dont bounce around as much.... i have have benches before and dont really liek them because if your goin around a turn doin 60 plus.... there is isnt anyhting to support your back side from sliding around.... i have to have music whne i drive.. i dont have a quite naighbor hood... if i lived in the country i would probley not have a radio eather but trucks flyin by, people blowin there horn, noisy rice burners , kind of get annoying after a short ride

hate rice burners!

87c10slammer · 10-09-2008, 09:54 PM

as do i.. even when i had my maxima i never riced it out.. the only car i had that resembled a rice burner was an 89 intergra but i would never put a coffee can on the exhuast.. i got a full exhuast from hedman i believe.. it sounded a little rice but only at about 7000 rpms... dont get me wrong thay can be nice cars but it was a little to small for my liking... that and i crashed it under a pickup and hit a pole a the same time... that was a great holloween party 2 years ago. god i love full coverage

from a womans perspective..i prefer bucket...cause i am shorter than him i need the seat up closer to the wheel plus if truck is extended cab if we are going a long ways and he is driving i can lay my seat back and nap or whatever....cant do that with bench seat and on long trips i have to get comfortable or i will be in a bad mood
