Anyone else find the Lariat seat height uncomfortable?

@Neve
Nope, 2025 only goes up to an 8-way seat too.

I actually find my Lariat seats and driving position pretty comfy.

Seems like I’m the odd one out here… a lot of folks agree that the lack of adjustment is a problem.

I have an XLT and can adjust the seat up, down, and the angle. Surprised yours doesn’t have at least that.

@Jesse
Yeah, the seatback adjusts, but the front of the seat doesn’t tilt. Without it, it can feel like too much pressure on the legs or like you’re sliding forward.

@Jesse
Exactly, it’s only 8-way, so no angle adjustment.

Huh… maybe I just stick to simple adjustments. Works fine for me and my spouse, and we have a 14-inch height difference!

@Jesse
Everyone’s different! Out of curiosity, why didn’t you go for an F-150 instead?

Same here. I’m a 5-foot female, and I’ve managed to make it work well for me. I like to sit more upright, though.

Didn’t you notice during the test drive? What’s different now?

I was excited and test drove 4 different trucks. I think I missed it since I’m used to the Mustang, but after daily driving, the discomfort became clear.

@Sage
Same here, just like buying pants. :joy:

Didn’t think to check for adjustable seat bottoms. My 2002 Accord had it, and it was only $20k.

Seat adjustments on the Lariat are terrible. Can’t believe a $40k Lariat doesn’t have an adjustable seat bottom.

35

Seat adjustment isn’t the worst for me, but the headrest being angled too far forward is a pain. Hurts my neck on long drives.

My Lariat has adjustable headrests.

Sadly, my XLT doesn’t. I wanted the Lariat, but couldn’t get a hybrid Lariat in Canada.

Ford made some… strange… package choices. Seems like they underestimated the hybrid demand up there.

Yep, they made 70% AWD models initially, but realized later they needed 70% hybrids!

Which trims have lumbar support? I got the Lariat with lux but don’t think it has lumbar support. Hoping I missed it.
