Captains chairs more comfortable?
Hello,
I am will be buying a 2007 cc 250 this weekend. I will be driving about 30,000 miles a year. Are the captains chairs anymore comfortable than the bench? I like the extra person the bench would hold but would get rid of it if the captains chairs will help my back. Also they have Arizona beige or Dark Shadow gray with the options I like. Any pros or cons to these two colors, looking for any feedback from people that own these two colors. Sorry about the newbie questions. Thanks Mike

Yes, I love my captains chairs. I'd love to install a few in my shop!
I have the sport interior, the leather is almost black. Seems to hide stuff better than my wife's Crown Victoria with the beige leather, but I haven't had the truck long enough to make a definitive conclusion.

Just to be different, I like the bench better. I have the bench in mine, a friend has the captain chairs in his. We go on a lot of long trips, we'll use his truck one time mine the next...and I feel more comfterable in the bench seat.
Oh, and I drive/ride about 60,000 miles a year. It's really just a matter of personal preference.

I have the captains chairs and love them too. I carpool with a guy who has the bench and he said he would rather have the captains in his SD. One less person to haul around but the CC can still seat 5 adults comfortable.

But I hated that hard bench that much.

I have the Captains chairs, they seem to be comfertable. I wanted the bench seat because I liked the fold down console better and the fact i could get 3 people up front
if needed, But when i went to buy I could not find one with everything I wanted so I went with the Captains chairs. I would test drive both and then judge for your self.

The chairs were a little harder to get adjusted, in my opinion. I had to play with them a bit to get real comfortable, but once dialed in you'll love them.
I may add heat to mine.....I must be getting old.
