Is anyone else having problems getting comfortable in these seats. I am having a hell of a time sitting in them, my back starts bothering me after 5 to 10 minutes. Any replacement suggestions?

 

I actually like the seats in my '05 Lariat a lot better than the ones in my '98 F-150. I do not like seats that are too soft.

 

the only complaint i have about my seats is that they seem to lean you foreward.

 

I have an '04 Screw Lariat and i'm very comfortable in these seats! Everyone in our 3 vehicle caravan to Colorado last spring wanted to ride with me because my truck was so comfortable. How big a feller are you? That might have something to do with it?

 

I think these seats are great. I have the xlt seats, very comfy. They look like the xl seats but there is a big difference. Most glad I spent the extra cash and upgraded the truck purchase.

 

No problems here with my seats. I weigh 200lbs and I can sit comfortably for several hours with no problems. BTW I have the captain seats not the 40/20/40

The only issue that I am having are is water stains. Anyone have an idea/trick to correct this without buying expensive seat covers?

same ****ing thing

try lowering your lumbar, some people crank the lumbar when their back hurts, but actually go the opposite way and lower it

 

I have the captains also . Very comfortable on 500 mile trips here. Rather ride in my truck then wife's Escape even though it's not bad. Her mpg is 25.7 avg on highway.

 

You'll get used to it...If I can be comfy in them, anyone can.

 

Had my FX4 SCrew leveled last week, no more leaning forward for me.

 

When I first got my 04, I was fairly uncomfortable compared to the two GM trucks I traded in on it. The first thing I did was to place about three washers under the front seat mounts; made a big difference on the cushion angle and thigh support. Also the seats took some time to break down a little. After eight months they are getting more comfortable.

 

Inline6 I think you have my solution, I'm going to try it 1st thing in the morning Thanks man, you've saved my back.

 

40/20/40 are captains chairs also.

 

That was the first thing I noticed when I bought my truck. The seats feel like plywood with cloth tacked on to it...very uncomfortable to sit in for long periods....hopefully they will get better with time.

 

I miss the plush, pillowy seats from my old '95 Tahoe... although I'm getting used to the 40/20/40 bench in the Lariat SCREW. I may try the washer trick, disclosed earlier on this thread.
