In the P tub the space between the outer wall and the tunnel is scant 
more than 12 inches. I've been on the hunt for buckets for a spell and 
found one... it measures 14.5" so won't fit "all the way back". I may 
not be big-boned challenged, but my butt just squeezes into my bucket 
and it's not even upholstered. There is undoubtedly more space in the 
TC tub. I've seen threads on this subject in the past and I do believe 
that, barring serious modification of the tunnel (may not be possible 
due to diff/prop shaft clearance) the bench seat provides the best big 
guy room. I'm 6'2" and I have the P seat back as far back as it can go 
which is farther that the standard adjustments.
For what it's worth...
