Their over all comfort, the way they keep you centered in front of the wheel at all times, their adjustability, all sorts of inconveniences there.

I have buckets as well as a center seat that is part of the bench, just happens to be two benches with a fold up console. It works way better for me, as they are way more comfortable. So are you saying that extended cabs fall under the same thing? I agree, to each their own... I wouldn't have the buckets without the center seat, but that's me. In an extended cab, it isn't as much an issue for me....

I disagree. Bucket seats have several things going for them.
1. It keeps you where you need to be. . . in front of the steering wheel.
2. They are usually adjustable, so, you don't have to have a 'one size fits none' seating arrangement.
3. Bucket seats keeps your woman right where she belongs - - - on the other side of the truck - - - so that you can drive.

My 2¢.

It's all a matter of personnal choice, just like the color of the truck. I'm amused that it bothers you so much.
