That's one of the things I've got against the Ford Ranger and the Toyota Tacoma both- they don't offer bucket seats as an option in the models I'm interested in. Yes, if you upgrade and up the price eventually you can get bucket seats, but that doesn't suit me. I know I'll be giving up the benefit of occasionally squeezing three across (not so convenient with a stick shift), but if I wanted to haul passengers I'd look at the TR40 or a Ranger. I'm sure that if all that is stopping you is the seats, you can find a place to fit new seats in there. Right now they're not offering much flexibility on options- standard or deluxe, but that will probably change when they set up to manufacture in this country. You forgot to say that no exterior cargo tie down hooks is a deal breaker, anyway. lol
