Got a 2002 Tundra and it happened to have a bench seat. About 4-5 times a year we’d cram 6-8 people into that truck and do big rides. Wasn’t comfortable, but beat the hell out of doing the same in my buddies newer truck with a console.When we bought our current truck, an F-150 Supercab, we both thought we wanted a bench seat so we could slide all the way across the cab if we wanted. And seat 3 up front. But, as it turns out, we have had three people up front 3 times in 13 1/2 years. And I can't recall ever sliding all the way across the cab. In those 3 trips with 3 people in front, there was always room in the back seats if we had a center console.
In other words, we would not have been missing any functionality that would have mattered if we had a center console. If we had to do it again, I would strongly favor a center console over the bench seat.
Moral of the story: The buyer doesn't always know what they REALLY want.
Some of us know exactly what we want because we’ve owned it before and it worked exceptionally well.
