Real Bench Seat

[malachi.rapier]

I’ve owned vehicles with the old school bench seats, and newer vehicles with bench seat/flip down console, it’s NOT the same when the middle section is stationary, it’s VERY uncomfortable.
I’m begging you PLEASE
bring back the original design, 50/50 split adjustable or all three adjustable.
Thank you

I miss the "good ol' dayz" when you could roll down the 2nd row windows and not get hit with throbbing sonic booms blowing out your ear drums at hwy speeds!

Side Note: Do the 2nd row windows on the Terra and Traveler row all the way down?

They should based on what we have seen.

Do some truck windows not roll down all the way?

Not sure, all my trucks have had windows that roll all the way down (R1T, Silverado, Tundra, Tacoma)

I’m not certain either. Of the trucks I have experienced with four doors all have had rear side windows that roll all the way down. With that said I’m betting there might be some midsize trucks with windows that don’t go down fully into the door due to wheelbase and door shape. My guess is that the full size trucks of today have enough wheelbase for theirs to make it all the way down.

Now you have me trying to recall whether or not our 2007 Tundra Double Cab rear windows went down all the way…I swear they did, but now I’m second-guessing myself.

I’m 99.7% certain they did.

I’ll add this as well: Windows that don’t roll down fully into the door are annoying in my book. It completely depends on the vehicle design though as the shape of the door obviously needs to have enough room inside to accommodate the glass.

Okay, back to the original topic.

Old school, manual adjustment, single bench is cheaper - probably not a huge amount. Less material, less parts, quicker install. As soon as you make add power, split, and a console - you will be increasing the cost. I don't see any huge difference in cost between that and buckets. I guess there is a little more material, there is more upholstery and an additional hinge. A little more with a 40/20/40 (a third hinge and a fraction more upholstery). While I liked my 40/60 - I can see where a 40/20/40 has a little more in common with buckets (allows for similar rear ventilation and accessory mounts).

I truly hope it is 40/20/40 split-for the rear at a minimum. So much more flexibility with 4 or 5 passengers in the case of the front bench

A shame there isn’t a way to open rear vent pass through to avoid that vacuum effect. Hate when that happens and I’m extremely sensitive to it

I think this is another place where the rear ROLL-DOWN Terra window will be killer...
