2011 driver's head rest

Compared to our 2008 F-150 seats, the angle of the new head rest is way more forward, to the point I am slouching forward when driving. Anyone else think so? I don't see any way of adjusting, except up, down and remove. Anyone tried to take the upholstery apart?

I don't even notice the 2011 head rest. Maybe torso height has a lot to do with it? I'm 6'7", but don't know my torso height.

A little late with the reply...but yes they do as with many new vehicles.
Mine was quite annoying at first, but I tilted the seat back a little and now am used to it. Insurance/whiplash thingy.

5'11 here and have not noticed it as being an issue but I lean my seat back a lot so that could account for it.

Headrests are like that on the 2009's also. I pulled them as high as I could works for me but then I am 5'6". Chris

Ford F150 - Headrest angle FIXED!!!!! - Ford F150 .net

click on the above link
This is what I did and it worked great! It was very simple to do. I just went to the local hardware store and bought a piece of pipe and bent them.

Hope this helps
