Comfort Solution?

Alright so I know alot of us agree on the problem with the seats in the new F150. Personally my problem comes in that I always either feel like I'm leaning forwards, or laying too far back, and no matter how I adjust the seat I'll be uncomfortable in a few minutes. So I want to know what some of you have done to remedy this problem, so I can at least consider the options.

It's a truck! If you want comfort go buy a luxury car. Stop beating a dead horse!

thats funny since my grandfathers 97F150 is perfectly comfortable. I guess the 97's were luxury vehicles.

i don't know, i feel like my seats have stops all along the adjustment range, and i haven't had any problems getting comfortable

this is the most comfortable pickup i've driven actually

are you sure you're hitting all the stops in the incline? could you put a thick seat cover on and set it one click back to make up the difference?

do you adjust the seat bottom tilt to keep your knees up? that makes a lot of difference to me

my old mustang ('89 GT) had an adjustable piece to increase the depth of the seat under my knees...that was the single best seat adjustment feature i've ever used, and it's a shame it's gone

Unfortionatly I have the STX so my seats don't have tilt. However I do believe that would solve the problem.

I have owned ford trucks from rangers to F350 dualies

the seats up to the 2004+ have always been fairly comfortable, even the base bench seats of the late 70's when I had my first

my last truck was a 2001 lariat with leather, which is by far and away the most comfortable truck seat I have ever owned...

even the lower end 60/40 seats from the 97-03 trucks were pretty good

And I have owned full leather suburbans and tricked out E series vans with the swivel seat captains chairs.

the 2004+ seats are a joke and I am shocked they have not been redesigned yet
