Question Seats, What do you think?

Hi all, since I value the opinions of my friends here, I'll ask. Which seats do you prefer? The Bronco II 60/40 bench or the conversion van buckets?


I sort of like the van seats with the armrests.

Well for what is worth I like the 60/40 split...........but that is just me as it is what I presently have in my 53, makes it easier for my co-pilot, aka the dog, to fit in

I had a pair of buckets in my 48 similer to the van seats. I kind of like the bronco seats better. It makes the truck less cluttered in the interior. But, again, I'm not the one who owns the truck. I would definitely go with which one is more comfortable to drive sitting in.Just my.02

To each his own but I personally do not care for the headrests sitting up above the bottom of the rear window....

However, thus far I appear to be out-voted.

I'm with you cuz...

With buckets, it's a two person ride.. with the bench you can take more with you. There will be times when me and Grammy and granson Cole will want to ride together....

I like my bench and like my Canadian cuz Bob, I don't like seeing the headrests filling up the back window

later
John

My Opinion..I like the red ones (bronco?) The sun was going down fast in the other pic ..so it's hard to tell, but don't the blue ones sit higher?
Also ,I am not a big headrest fan..I like to look around too much while driving .
How do they feel??....Yep ,My vote goes to the red ones!!

I agree about sticking up above the bottom of the window, to me it looks out of place.

I'm with John on wanting to take my grandson with us at times, sos I vote for the bench.

I like the bronco for both the uncluttered look and the lower headrest area. Those are the reasons that I am using the Ranger seats which are very much like the Bronco seats.

I prefer buckets, but without headrests. So if the choice is between those 2, I'd go with the 60/40 bench.
