Great call, all. Rob - my wife has a fusion from T12-L2, a result of a skiing accident in winters past...she shares your literal pain, big deal for her as well. You'll appreciate this advice, brother. Best.

There is a thread in the 2015 F150 forum that has a real good explanation. It is reposted on this forum somewhere as well.
I opened the back of the seat and disconnected the cable that tightens to make the lumbar. You pop a little white cable elbow out of a metal loop. Makes a huge difference. The seat is stiil contoured enough to give you some lumbar effect.

Interesting. If you stumble across the thread on it again, post a link if you would...

This is ridiculous...Having to modify seats on a 78K truck to get comfortable!!! I to find the seats in my 2017 Platinum extremely uncomfortable and cannot find a comfortable position no matter what I do....for me if feels like the top of the seat is pushing me forward and there is not enough seat to support my back and sides... I think what really messes me up is the head rest is grossly positioned to far forward. I removed my headrest and flipped it backwards...but now have no head support. Ford sucked it up big time on these new seats,which is a shame, because the bottoms are very comfortable and the massaging feature is really nice. However,this ain't the first thread about tearing seats apart to get them comfortable on the 2017's and these trucks have been out for a less than three months!!!
