Drivers Seat Size

Have any of you had a problem with the '00 F250 SD PSD drivers seat being too narrow, cutting into your left leg? The seat evidently was designed by a little skinny engineer that was about 5'6". Definitely not a 250 lb six footer. Ford engineers need to sit in a Chevy Silverado to learn how to design a seat. Other than the seat my truck is super. Right at 18 MPG city and highway combined and thats with a 4,000 lb trailer and boat for a portion of the time. Comments please.

I just wanted to add that I too have had this thought about the seat. It's not too bad for me, but I did notice it a while ago. I have an '01 Supercrew and noticed that sometimes my leg kind of falls off the side a bit - and I'm 5'11" and 175 lbs. I imagine it only gets worse as those numbers go up.

Are you guys talking about bench seats? The leather captains chairs in my '01 CC superduty swallow me, most comfortable truck I've ever been in.

BFM 6'3" 270lbs.

Nope, I'm talking about the 40/20/40 seats. Looks as if I need to round up a captains chair for the drivers side. I was going to ask if there are larger after market seats.

I have questioned myself about this as well(99 F250 SD SC PSD). Seems like the middle of the bottom of my left leg is on the left outerside. My 94 F250 SC and my 97 SC PSD work truck have comfortable seats.

The captains chairs are great. Dont miss the bench seats at all.

6'5" 200lbs - Haven't had a problem with it at all. Was able to drive from El Paso to Houston with no problems when it came to my legs or a** falling asleep.
