First riding impression/SEAT question
Boys/girls
I just took the X out for a ride yesterday. 150 miles total and I LOVE the truck.
However, I HATE the seat. I have a really bad back and when I came home, my neck hurt and even one of my arms (probably from a nerve in the back).
It's way too stiff for me and it feels like sitting in one of the old rock hard leather sofas.
Here's a question. Are the fabric/cloth seats softer?
Are they available with the same adjustment/heat options as my limited seat?
Any other options for getting a softer seat?
Thanks
George

I went to wally world today and it's only 15 miles or so but I kinda dreaded it AND i WAS uncomfy all the way...what other options do I have?
I mean, I LOVE my truck but dammit, if I don't like riding, what's the point..?
From my experience, cloth is softer for some reason. I sat in the 2007 Denali and it was even worse. ROCK HARD and I"m 300 LBS almost

Hope that helps!

If you really want to live high on hog, you might want to think about sometihng like that. It sounds like a sweet deal to me, but I have no idea what it would cost. I bet not cheap though...

I wonder if it's softer
Well, we're about to find out. I'm gonna call them tomorrow.
How about an Eddie Bauer seat? Do they not make a fabric option with the powered and heated seat? Actually, I don't personally care about the heating option..
Thanks
George
