Do laramies and sports have more seat bolstering?

garner · May 8, 2013

Well after riding in my friend's laramie tonight I realized that the seats kind of encompass the headrest some and I had never noticed that before(maybe I had in my R/T but didn't pay much attention, idk) whereas on the outdoorsman and below the seat is flat all the way across where the headrest connects.

So I was wondering if the sports and laramies have more side bolstering than the lower trim levels? Or is it just another upper trim level design difference like the soft touch dashboard?

Yes. Or perhaps just a different design than the Express / Outdoorsman seats.
I am very unimpressed the the stock Express seats.

I haven't even been in a 4th gen other than my Laramie, but I absolutely love the seats in it. They do seem to have a LOT of bolstering in them

Same here, I have to hold on to my center console during hard turning so I don't go sliding. Wish I remembered how the bolsters were on my R/T

Yeah that makes me think that the sport and laramie do have more bolstering. Cause these ones look like they have some but once you sit in the seat it's just non existent. Wish I remembered how the bolster were in my R/T but that was like 16 months ago

Ram has two levels of bucket seats. The bucket seats are the ones where the back of the seat is flat and the head rest is on top of it. The sport bucket seats have higher sides with the head rest recessed downward. Hope that helps.

These are the Laramie and Sport seats. Other models may use them as well. Sport seats are only available in black.

Yeah I know what they look like(had them in my R/T) just wondering if the side bolster on them is actually more than the bolster on the lower level rams or if it's just a design difference with no added benefit

Yes I know... My goal was to show them to people with the other seats and see if they agree that they're more or the same.

From what I can see from the Express to the Laramie or Sport, is that the bolstering IS larger and goes up higher. The seats are much more robust looking IMO.

Gotcha

I'm tempted to take a tape measure to my friend's Laramie sometime lol. But I'm with you, the bolstering definitely looks more to me in the Laramie and sport

I believe you are correct.

Cloth

Leather seats

Looks like the leather seats have a little more bolstering near the shoulders.

Do laramies and sports have more seat bolstering?
