The Lariat trim had a power drivers seat.
The passenger seat is what it is, from 97-03 regardless of trim lines.

The only way to adjust the seat bottom on the passenger side is to go aftermarket.

Znhunter,
I have an 04 (new style), and the seat bottoms were way to flat for me.
Here's what to do (it worked perfectly),
Remove a seat and flip it over onto a sawhorse or bench.
You will find that there are four bolts holding the lower cushion to the seat frame.
Loosen the rear two bolts, but don't remove them.
Remove the front two bolts and buy longer ones, the length can vary with how high you want to lift the seat angle.
Add washers/spacers to lift the front of the cushion (between the cushion and frame).

I did this years ago and love it, (I also tilted the pass seat to match).
The truck is much more comfortable to drive having support under the front of your upper legs.
Good Luck, and let me know how you made out.
Marc
