I always have liked the headrest setup, much cleaner looking and they are really not in the way.

Headrests, IMO a drop down blocks the rearview mirror and I think it would end up sagging, or rattling loose with time+lots of bass.

Interesting. I'm surprised so many people think flip downs get in the way. I never use my rear view mirror, so that's never been a real issue for me. lol

Headrests. Overheads side by side, especially larger ones, take a little more work to look as clean. The headliner starts to contour towards the edges and then you have the a/c ducting to deal with also. Not that it can't be done, it just takes more work to make them look as clean as a headrest install.

Frankly, I prefer a flip down over a headrest anytime. The biggest you can throw in a headrest is 10" and a flipdown you can put a 15" or 20". One for the 2nd row and one for the third, and your headrest won't need to be cut or replaced.

i like the headrests because like everyone else they look cleaner and have more of a factory feel but i also like the flipdown because of the large sizes plus they give the vehicle more of a bling factor. so it just depends of the theme of your truck. me, im trying to go with a classy big truck theme so id go with some 10" headrest in all 4.
