I’m 6’6” and test drove a 2021 power wagon. Lowered the bench seat all the way and still felt like I was looking out the top edge of the windshield. Does anyone know if the bucket seat option goes lower than the bench? Trying to find a dealer with trucks with both configurations to test.

I don't know about the bench seat but the bucket seats do have many different positions. I'm not for sure of the number but I would think the bucket is much more adjustable.

Don’t they both use the same bucket seat for both configurations? They don’t use a full bench like older trucks. The only difference from a bench to a center console is only the actually center as far as I knew.

That’s what I didn’t know. Thought maybe it was a completely different assembly.

^^This. They will both have the same height adjustment range.

You might need to be sure to get something without a sunroof. They will rob about 2 inches of total headroom.

Or get a taller seat & stick your head out of the sunroof

The Ram with the full floor console & the Ram with the center seat, i would think use the same seat

The Tradesman or Express models may come with a full bench seat option ?
If they do, i would not venture to guess at the height

Maybe you could check out those places that sell Low Rider Seats

This site may have something for you
