damnit, 6 hours too late. You win this round RUBI, but watch yourself Mccoy.

He only showed the PB Seats for like 4 seconds.......Dang it! Those seats look closer to tan than saddle. =/ Hopefully it looks darker in person. That's what Rubi and AZ have said, so i'll keep the faith.

Hey I havn't said Plywood yet tonight, so there ya go!

I was hoping saddle would be this color... you know, the color of an actual saddle.

But it’s matching the peanut butter mud on the bumper...

Seriously, the new saddle colour is more like our Sahara 2011 pale leather seat than a brown saddle...

I saw a couple of new Sahara JL’s earlier this week, the seats in the video look pretty much the same to me ...

In person the JL seats are way lighter than the saddle of the JT

Hopefully the variance in color means that the seats are better than the JL seats. The JL seats are horrible, and they also don't have any tilt adjustment for long trip comfort.

The JL's leather seats suck?
I should be more specific. The cloth seats are terrible by my own experience compared to JK seats from the latter years, and people with leather in JLs tell me that the leather isn't any better.

Oh man. First I'd heard of that. I guess I should go test drive a JL.

Yes, I'm 6'3" and 230 lbs. so just barely larger than the average guy. The seat cushion is way too short. It hits me mid-thigh. It's also too narrow (they shaved almost 2" of hip room out of the JL/JT). And, it doesn't have any tilt adjustment, so it feels like it's going to eject me out of the seat all the time, which makes my legs very uncomfortable.

The seat backs are decent, but they are VERY stiff when new and required several thousand miles to break in and not kill my back. And the "lumbar" support actually hits above the lumbar area of the spine. Have no idea who designed that...

Lastly, the amount of foam is much less in the JL seats compared to JK seats. They're pretty stiff and hard on long trips. Just terrible seats in my opinion.

I'm HOPING the JT seats are JT-specific and are going to have tilt adjustment. Please Jeep, give us more adjustment!
