We are looking at replacing our seats and want to get something really nice and comfortable as we spend so much time sitting in them.
We are currently looking at the Atlas Elite 80.
Anyone have an opinion or recommendation?
Also anyone know a good place to get them?
Thanks.

I have heard the Bose system seats are da bomb. Nothing else like them on the market but I am sure the price is like non others also.

I checked them out. $5995 + installation and tax, each.
Too rich for my blood.

Got an Elite drivers seat installed in the Hino last spring in KC Hino/Kw ,(just off the J).
knowing what i know now ,I'd buy it there and take it to ICT truck shop up the hill ,(just behind the freightliner/Volvo/Froad compounds) ,and let them install it for a fraction of the price.
i do think that this is a very good seat ,and that dealer have about 10 seats on disply ,so you can test seat.
and if it wasn't for the brilient Hino interior engeneer ,and the got dern windshiled washer fluid tank - i'd be getting 2 at that time.(thou'w it'll make a pain getting in/out of the truck)

we have had the SEATS brand in our truck for going on 5 yrs. now. the legacy low series, and my butt could not be happier. pretty good set of seats for about 1500 $. seating part is much wider and thicker than most.

Anything is better than the stock Hino seats:eek:
I have the basic National Seating seat(stock seat) in my International
it as lumbar, air-ride and the fore aft movement(not sure if that is what you call it) and I think it is a fine seat very comfy and it came with my truck

The first truck I had, I put a wheelchair seat in it. Supreme comfort with a larger than normal seat. Had armrests and lumbar support in back. Wished many times I had kept that seat when I got rid of truck. Bad part is, I bought it off Ebay and have not seen another like it.
