Bench seats have material and padding all across the middle of the whole car...
The cost on 2 bucket seats is way higher than a single bench. Separate controls, hinges, reclining mechanisms, headrests,
For comfort, there is no question, bucket seats reign supreme.
TBF, being of an age that i've had both, I'll take a bucket seat and good AC over a bench seat. If my girl needs to be that close to me, we're going to be in the back seat :)
the back seat of a truck? how big are trucks these days holy
There's three basic layouts for the cab of a pickup. "Regular" has two doors and one row of seats, maybe a tiny bit of storage room behind the seats. "Double" has small rear doors and a second row of seats with no legroom, this is where you cram your children or least favorite coworker. "Crew" has two full-size sets of doors and seats and they're about five hundred feet long because people only ever get them with long beds so they can pretend to be a contractor when they buy plywood sheets twice a year. They don't fit in parking spaces, their turn signals don't work, and they probably also have the extended wing mirrors to see around the trailer they never haul because it would scratch up their perfect chrome ball mount they never take off.
Cars used to have bench seats too.
the material cost is basically negligible in this comparison. it's the component count in the assembly that matters. and two complex seats are way more expensive than one moderately complex bigger seat.
But that's divided between three seats, not two, so the material per seat is less.
