2016 Seats
I test drove a new 2016 F150 FX4 Platinum last night. Are the seat bottoms smaller/shorter than the 2012 F150 Platinums? They sure felt short in the thigh by about an inch or two. I didn't have a tape measure to measure my 2012 to the 2016 but being 6'4" they just seam shorter. Maybe my 2012 have flatten out over the years.
Don't really need to upgrade but I like on the new technology the 16 has to offer. I would have made a deal last night but the salesperson was just an idiot and would not listen. Felt like I was at a buy here pay here lot. I just walked out.

To me the bottom cushion seems a little shorter as far as thigh support, but it does break in nicely. The back has a better angle for me and I really appreciate the smaller headrests. My favorite seat was in my '08 Super Duty. This one is just a good once broken in.

I think because of the aluminum body needing more creases for strength the interior is smaller.

Well I measured a 2015 seat and they measured the same as my 2012. So, I bought a new 2017 Platinum crew on Friday. Loving it so far.
