Im starting to lean towards getting the bench seat, especially knowing that it will still have the back AC controls

I have a 6 seat GMC2500 - aka front is a bench. It's a 2016 and I have never once used the bench functionality. Doesn't hurt anything (lose some storage I suppose) and if you have 6 people to haul around then it's a good thing. I take my wife's suv when that's the case. just my 2 cents.

Not a fan of that particular wood, but assume there will be some options and it's better than the stupid white (now they have grey available) on my cyber truck!

Exterior looks pretty nice!

Me too. I’m hoping it’s still cooled and heated seats even the bench seat. Assuming it is since it has the perforation. If that’s the case then I will be getting the bench seats for sure. My dad’s knees always get sore hitting on my bucket seat trucks. So this will be nice to have the open leg room.

I’m the opposite. Specifically bought my ‘15 F-150 with the front bench, and have used it numerous times. Was really excited to see they planned to offer the bench seat as an option on both vehicles. My only hope is that the bench isn’t offered on only the lowest version. That said, I can see how many wouldn’t need/want the option, but between my wife’s 7 passenger and my 6 passenger, we can take a lot of friends or family places.

Having the bench also reminds me of the old-school 70s trucks, which they were more or less going for, and I’m all for it. New dash designs are so… ugly for the most part to me. I really dig the simpler lines of the dash, and the bench just ties it all together for me.

I can see that, the interior looks very good overall - balanced modern and classic!

I'm torn about the bench seat... I think my dog would like it best - she always seems to want to sit between my wife and I...

I think I’m out on the bench seat but I love the hemp wood throughout! The panoramic roof is really a beautiful look.

Where I live the summers are long and HOT!, over 100º a lot of days, so I am thinking that nice Panoramic roof would turn the interior into a sauna.

Cushiness is KING for me. I have a 2017 Raptor with super-firm seats, and it kills my tailbone. So if the bolstering is not as aggressive and the cushion is thicker on the bench, I would have to go for it, even if I lose storage.

It's also nice to throw the leg over toward the center of the truck to relieve discomfort on long trips.
