    Can anyone comment on how they like (or dislike) Corbeau Trailcats after having them in their truck for at least a couple of months or longer? Thinking about installing a pair in my ‘03 SR5. Thanks.

    4 run, 2 don't
    Sit in a set; asking what others think of their seats is like asking what they think of their mattress.

    Every body is different and what feels comfortable to one person could be hated by another.

    I sat in one and hated it.

    Yeah I got them a few months ago the black ones look great. I am 160 lb and 5 10in i had a buddy who is about 6 2 and 180 his shoulders were rolled in from the curve of the seats. Not a big deal but if you are larger than him it may be an issue. Also the headrests end up being taller than stock so turning around and reversing you get a little less view. I dont have a reverse cam but wish I plugged one in when I did my new stereo. I usually do 20 min drives but did one for 2 hours over the weekend and no real complaints. I also got the corbeau seat sliders.

    I just met up with another TW member recently so he could see them in person. I got trailcats in February. They’ve got some serious side bolsters that hug you at the ribs so it felt a little weird at first but I’ve broken them in now and I’m more used to it. I’m also 6’ ~225ish lbs so it would probably feel better to someone who’s smaller than me. It Does help keep you planted in the seat which is nice. Also they sit pretty flat and lower to the floor than the oem seats. I have desertdoesit seat jackers and another diy jacker that raised the front a lot so it’s much more comfortable now. I’ll drop pics soon

    I have some & they’re comfortable enough. Seat bottom isn’t quite long enough but does the job.

    I have been using the sport seat's since 2017 with their brackets, and like them, but I would defiantly add a set of seat jackers on the front mounts so you don't feel like you are being dumped on the floor.
    Be aware, some of the Corbeau sport seats with their brackets sit taller than the stock seats, I don't know if others do or not

    I've been looking at thier seats as part of my project. The ones in my 02 are aweful. Covers are in perfect shape but the foam is flat. Aside from comfort my concern is safety. On the web site are statements about assuming your own risk, seats are not designed for your vehicle and that the seats are not designed to any sort of standard. Has this been a concern for anyone else? Are factory seats designed to a standard?

    I took out my bench seat with a set of them. They are comfortable to me and I like them. I am a slender built guy, 6’1” 165lbs. The side bolsters work out well for me.
