Q: Any other differences between this model seat and the Rugged Ridge Ultra seat besides the Fabric/Vinyl covering? i.e., are the insides the same? Thanks! Answer this question
A: Brad, the other difference besides the fabric/vinyl is that the XHD Ultra Seat has an adjustable/ removable headrest. The XHD Reclining Front Seat has the headrest built into the seat.
