Ive been looking into a 97+ f-150 and was just curious on the seats in them, ive yet to drive one and i wanted to know what everyones back is like after a long trip in one. The chevys i find are really comfy *99+* and im hoping the ford is almost the same, could i get some input ?

thanks

 

i have an 03 and have gone on quite a few 3000 plus mile trips, and i have had no back pain, i really feel comfortable in them. the only problem is the sag of the drivers outer edge.

 

Driven up and down the east coast in mine. very comfortable.

 

Well if it helps I've driven my truck as much as 30 hours without stopping except for gas and food... and my back was just fine... my mind on the other hand... Oh and I'm 6' 8" so finding a seat that is comfy isnt super easy...

 

my 1999 F250 has the 40/20/40 with the fold down console, if thats what your talking about, yeah its quite comfy cloth, way better than my Explorer Sports cloth, but the captains chairs in my 2001 Supercrew,,, they are leather which is very comfortable but those little seat mounted fold down arm rest... i hate them, my shoulder doesn't get along with them

 

The captain's chair seats in my '97 SCab are as comfortable as any seat I've ever used. The newer seat design is more like a sports car and really cradles you in comfort. If I did have one complaint, it feels like the 2004+ captain's chairs have a brace right under your butt. It's not really noticeable if you're sitting the the chair dead center, but on long trips, I shift around a bit and I find the "hump" rather uncomfortable.

 

my seats could not be better! I would like to upgrade to leather seats though, but that is way too much $$$
