2018 lariat value package.
So when I first got my truck seat wasn’t very comfortable to me. But I thought it was because I was so used to my 04. It was an xlt plan Jane and could drive all day and have no issues, this truck few hours and I’m done. It feels like there is a roll right at mid top back (I’m 5-5) doesn’t feel like I can sink into it at all. Reminds me of sitting on a bleacher with no support for upper back because my upper back doesn’t touch seat and your bent backwards over it.
Like if you put seat all the way back to nap as wife is in store, no way feels like your laying on a log/hump and is painfull. If you go to passenger seat completely different seat put all the way back and lay back and fall asleep in the seat. It feels like I sink into it and it wraps around me. Yes I have put the lumbar all the way to zero.

I have read all about complaints on the seats and yet to hear this one. My wife things I’m nuts but I’m not and know everyone feels different in them. And know when I take it in to complain they will say it’s normal no issue. Has any one flipped seats from one side to other? It looks like it can be done to me but some work.
I dont even like driving it now (5000 miles) I usually drive the fiesta now because it’s so much more comfortable and it’s a plain Jane one.

Any suggestions, ideas, anybody run into this themselves?

I agree and I have the same seats. I really like them. I've driven straight 5-6-7 hours and no real fatigue in my legs, back or shoulders. I may recover them at some point but I wouldn't change anything else.

I like the front of my seat all the way up and the rear all the way down. I think the seats are decently comfortable but not as nice as some. I am 6’5” so what works for me may not work for you. I wish I could gain about 1” more legroom but that will be hard to do...

To the OP. Adjust that seat, do all kinds of adjustments, adjust the base up as far as it will go, adjust the back to Tilt back a bit more at a time, and for long trips, adjust your seat often. This is a common misconception, don’t move the seat and you will cramp up, the key to comfort is varying your position. If you also have adjustable tilt, telescoping steering wheel, also adjust this. Most people adjust to close to the steering wheel, to low, and downtime keep themselves back far enough. If you have heating and cooling, us heat, then cool, 15 minutes each. When you find a good spot, select it to memory, so you can always go back to it.

thought I replied to this? One more try. A adjusted every wish way and do it through out the drive and have three saves. It doesn’t matter. The passengers seat is so much better feels like you sit in it not on it.

Did your 04 have the captains chairs? My 04 XLT had them and I think they’re pretty hard to beat. I wish they still made different seats for the truck but unfortunately the new captains chairs (if you can call them that) are just the bench seat with a console jammed in the middle. I think that’s a mistake. I miss the wrap around feel and the attached armrest. Using the console as an armrest just feels too far away. I’m 6’3” and the back contours feel pretty good to me except for the lack of padding behind my left shoulder blade.. I can see how a shorter back wouldn’t fit right.
