ive had both buckets and a bench. best benefit bout a bench is if you have female passenger , she can get a little closer, wink wink. and you can sleep on it if worse comes to worse. but you cant beat the comfort and good looks of bucket seats, expecially if there power leather and heated

I agree with the only apparent reaso nfor a bench seat...lol... but I prefer buckets, or at the very least a split bench. This way, the passanger can adjust the seat and such seperate from mine. Or if someone extremely short, like my last girlfriend when I had my dodge, drives, I do not have to be in the passanger seat swallowing my knees.

well if you are looking to buy that rig, there are several things it will need right off the bat that I can see from that pic. TIRES being right at the top of the list, do you see how bald those are? And 2wd? r u nuts? Spend the money Pete, stick woth a 4x4, you will be happy you did.

I have the best seats for me there buckets but it can also be full seat and the center seat comes down for a good arm rest and has cup holders and being buckets you can recline them back which I do it makes my back feel better and I can recline and fall asleep I just turn on the cruise control set it for destination and a bell rings when im there no just kidding about the cruise control I wish I had that but I really do like buckets seats. Good luck! GMC
