Did a search but not much about aftermarket seats in the last few years. I'm wanting to upgrade the standard seats in a 300 series Hino which doesn't have room for air suspension seats.
Are Stratos seats still a good seat?
Any other recommendations?
Thank you for any help.

Thanks Alby , I have spoken to several of the seat crowds and with the height limitations a non air seat is my only option unfortunately.

I have a Drivers Stratos Suspension seat, They are very supportive and after a long driving day, I feel pretty good. Its firm and supportive but feels a little narrow. There is no seat base tilt and the backrest does not recline past a reasonable driving position and its set to one height. The non suspension model may have some or all of those features, i cant really remember. The suspension operation is very good although its a little strange when first used. Michael

Hi Michael, Do you have this seat in your Patrol? If so could you share a photo?

Hi Joe,
I put a pair of Stratos 3000LTS (Light Truck Suspension Seats) in the Troopy years ago.
Best thing I ever put in the Troopy.... apart from Roz, that is. :))

Cheers
Allan

Hi Joe, you could try Scheel-man seats, I haven't used then myself but I have heard them mentioned by different people.
