Cool Seat alignment with steering wheel

Hi All,
After noticing that I was always sitting on the left part of the seat on my 2005 Super Duty I noticed that the seat is at least 2 inches offset from the steering wheel center. Whats up with that. Why didnt they center it. Anybody else out there notice that. Is that another Ford "Better Idea"

I did notice that on Chevy 2500 series, it was one of the many reasons I went back to Ford. I will say: on my 2007 250XLT the center of the wheel is in line with the center of the seat. You may have different seats than I do but mine is in line! Hope this helps.

Thumbs down 2005 F250 Model year changes for the worse

I guess thats just another oversight by Ford on their 2005 models. Seating doesnt match up to Steering wheel, what were they thinking?. Steering wheel oscillates when it hits bumps making an unsafe feeling on the highway. No wonder Fords losing ground to the Japs and their stock is in the toilet along with sales.

Mine lines up.

Are you sure your steering column hasn't shifted to one side?

HI
If it shifted it was at the factory. Truck has never been in an accident and only has 15000 miles on it

What bodystyle do you have? I think the supercab seat is a little wider toward the door, in order to fit the seatbelt in the seatback.
