Ha, glad to see that the 6.7 is still living up to its $60,000 test drive status. It kind of feels like a gasser with a lot more oooomph.

i would have loved to get the console/bucket seats. i like the look and the storage it provides.

but in the end there are times (maybe 6-12/year) that i have to seat 6. since May i have used the front middle seat maybe 4 times. if not for the 6th spot we would either not have been able to go where we wanted or would have to take two cars. so...i deemed it necessary.

but my daughter has informed me that it is real uncomfortable since it has no recline to the back portion.

Same for me. Myself, mama, 2 kids and grandparents = 6. Nice not to have to take 2 vehicles. I don't mind the lack of storage, if I had the center console it would probably be packed with junk anyway. The little one under the middle seat I have to keep clean because you can't fit a lot in there and I keep my laptop between the seat and seat back when the seat in down and that works good too.

Works good for me.

Plus the front middle seat makes a good TV stand for the kids



Thanks

If you don't NEED the seat, get the console.
I got the console in my supercab and wouldn't like the interior as much without it.
The design of the cup holders is the best of any vehicle I've owned.

I found that when compared side by side the seats with the console were more comfortable. I was originally going for the 3rd seat, But the MRS and I test drove both, and both preferred the buckets with console.

Darren - very nice. If it was gorilla glass like your phone, you could use the tv as a tray. It would be a TV tray.
Sorry...it's Friday!
