I'd like to order a 2019 KR with the multi-contour seats but without the moonroof. From my research, the only way to get the massaging multi-contour seats is to order the KR Ultimate package which includes the moonroof. Seems like it's a package deal: massaging seats=moonroof. Is this right? (this is one of the few times I hope I'm wrong).

By the way, how does the massaging feature work? Does it just inflate/deflate the airbags to "massage"? If so, I also guess that means that without the multi-contour seats, there is significantly less fine adjustment of the seat to be comfortable.

Let me know if I'm off base because I've read so much about the current seats being not too comfortable. And being 6'2" and 240 with a beat up back, I just want to make sure what I'm getting into. I've sat in the seats at the dealerships (XLT vs. Lariat vs. KR) and the KR seats are the most comfortable (but not as much as they should be compared to a lot of my old vehicles).

 

When I ordered my '17 I had to get the massage seats to get other items I wanted.

I thought they were a silly idea and expected to never turn them on.

Wrong.
They are amazing, I use them on any drive more than just a few miles. The wife turns hers on as soon as she gets in the truck.
They inflate and deflate individual sections in rotation.

 

They are AWESOME!!!!!!

 

On the King Ranch, yeah that looks to be the case...
It looks like you could do a platinum with the massaging seats and no moonroof.
Maybe talk to the dealer and see if they can submit a custom order on the KR and delete the moonroof.

Second the pano sunroof and massaging seats. The sunroof has been a welcomed surprise for me as it brightens up the interior but more importantly makes the cab feel bigger. I'm 6'3 so more times than not if I'm wearing a baseball cap I'm nearly touching the headliner in many vehicles. The pano buys you several more inches of headroom when opened and I have more room with it closed than in any vehicle I have driven to date. Wife loves the massaging seats. First thing she does is turn them on as soon as she gets in the truck and is quick to turn them back on when they time out. Personally I don't like or dislike them. Most times I forget about them but my wife always wants to take my truck so she can use the massaging seats. Happy wife = Happy Life.

 

I ordered mine without the moon-roof and the dealer accidentally ordered it anyway. After having the truck for a month, I have to say I actually really like it.
I test drove a platinum with the massaging seats before I ordered mine, and I really just felt they were gimmicky and not something I'd ever use.

 

I love the seats! They just help with blood flow. When your legs start to go a little numb, they cure it quick. The back rest ones however do nothing for me. They seem to work great for my dad though as I have to kick him out of my truck every time.

 

Love mine for long drives and I agree with the sunroof for head room and light into the cabin. I was towing through a super nasty rain storm and my son in the back seat loved pointing out the lightning that he could see everywhere with the sun shield open.

 

We sat in a Platinum with the massaging seats, and I thought they'd be good. Sitting in the same position on a trip I always start to ache after a while. I thought that the seat action - it seems like rollers or as somebody said, air pockets inflating/deflating - would help a lot to keep my muscles from tightening up. So, short version is I would not mind having them.
I thought, though, that the only way you could get them was in the Platinum Ultimate package. Not going to be able to spring for that, so I figured I'd live without them or find something aftermarket that went on the seat. Is there in fact a way to order them separately? Or are they also available in the KR Ultimate... we are looking at Lariats, which don't seem to have any way to get them.

 

 

 

When our truck was new my wife noticed the massage function on one seat was very different than the other.

Then we figured out the intensity of the massage function is adjustable.

 

I have the messaging seats in both my cars. The wife and I love them especially on those long RVing trips.
