[timhorr]

if i were do a road trip, spending many hours driving, what seats would you recommend? i'm not sure if it matters, i think it does, but i'm over 6ft and over 200lbs..

PRP daily drivers are pretty nice. Available taller, wider, and any color combination you want.

comfortable seats for road long travel

i've also heard Procar and Mastercraft are nice...any comments for or against?

 

[bigjhoov]

Yes, both are nice. Two different type of seats though if you ask me. The Mastercraft is a suspension seat, similar to the PRP. I'm not partial to the Procar. While they're nice, I don't find them a comfortable fit for my frame.

Ford Explorer seats are the most comfortable that I've sat in. Wish I hadn't gotten anxious in my used seat search. Maybe one day I'll put my new bronco seats in a deer stand and put explorer seats in the bronco.

an explorer seat wont sit too high? i'm 6'4" and dont want my head hitting the roof if i go over a speed bump...also regarding "procar not a good seat for my frame" can you please give me more detail??

I run the Mastercraft Sportsman seats, however PRP, Twisted Stitch, Corbeau, Beard/Redart, Racecraft, etc all make something similar and the quality and pricing varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. I'm 6' 5" and about 200# and I can drive all day in my Bronco without any comfort issues, at least not any related to the seat...noise, wind, water...those are other issues. My seats are currently mounted on the factory sliders with some minor mods, and while I wish I sat a little lower for visibility out the front window, it's actually not that bad given my height.

Here are a couple of reasons that I will cast a vote for the explorer seats.

I got these out of a 96 Explorer at the pull a part. I must have sat in a hundred different seats at the pull a part before I chose these. These are extremely comfortable. They are electric. Have electric lumbar and bolsters. The biggest positive, they also tilt forward. This was big for me with regards to allowing access to the rear seat. And now the big kicker, they cost $35 each. I could just clean them and use as is, but I will have them recovered. This is my .02 worth with regards to comfortable "used" seats. I can not comment with regards to new seats.

Damn I just typed for 30 minute on an answer an it would not post .. Dang Internet.
....... So I'll try again I'm glad this post came up. I run 1987 BroncoII seats in SnakeBite. They are quite Comfy.
.........Years ago I had my old 1980 Bronco it's seat were too short .. So I got a set from later model Ford Tr. These had high back and arm rest. The arm rest on both sides reallu made a difference in trips. I had taken the Bronco to N Mexico & Ft Stockton several times But after swapping to the seats with arm rest It was a much nicer trip.

For my work now I drive a Ford Transit Van. It too has seats with arm rest and it is very easy to make a trip in. Last friday I went all the way out to Snyder and I was not tired when I got there. If I have to take one of the 2005 or so Ford Trucks I can't get past Abilene before I have to get out to stretch.

However Boureeone is only 4 ft 5 inches tall......%) There is no doubt that the explorer seats are comfortable and I love them in my explorer, but if you are anywhere near 6ft, you can't get them low enough without modifying the floor. I run seats similar to procar and they are not a suspension seat, but they are fairly comfortable having driven more than 4 hrs in a day on the highway and on the trail and felt fine afterwards, the best part is that at 6ft and 255, I can see out of the windsheild completely. Hell they sit lower than the stockers do for that matter. Procars would be the same IMO. I had a set of Mastercrafts and they were very comfortable but I thought they sat to high and I was annoyed that the side bolster was starting to break down after just a few in and outs of the vehicle. If I was to do it over, I would look at the PRP daily drivers and then look at someway to flip it forward on the passenger side.

Some friends of mine just made a trip out to Colorado from Cali in there new daily driver PRP's and had nothing good to say. They are both 6' 200 lbs and said there rear's hurt so bad after that long of a trip. They are going to give them back to prp as it is a SEMA demo rig and get some Corbeau seats. This is just there 2 cent's as I only rode in the rigs for a little bit and can't commit on them.

i'm leaning towards the Procar Lumbar...like to hear if there are any negative comments on these
