Good friend has the 24' Raptor R and my brother has the 24' TRX. We were just driving them both (and towing & launching boats) together in TN for a 2-day boat poker run at Norris Lake. The Raptor R is kinda boring inside (nice screen though) and the seats are nice, but nothing spectacular. That said, The TRX seats with the red trim (identical to the RHO choice) are IMHO much nicer. They are not soft, as they should not be in this truck style, but they are appropriate for this level of truck and comfortable enough for longer trips. And if your wife's Kia has better seats than the TRX/RHO then I really want to go test ride that Kia!
