I was at the dealership looking at the Wildtrak Demo which comes with the mid-package w/the cloth seats. I found that the seat back adjustment is through a pumping lever with minimal angle adjustment? Anyone know if this is a limitation with the cloth seat, or there is any lever somewhere for me to make that adjustment? My 2018 JLU can lay down the front seat like this picture below.

You really shouldn't drive like that.

It's actually very nice to have the top down with the seats in that position to enjoy the stars or even the blue sky during the day. While the Jeep is not in motion ;)

Thanks, we only had 15min to look at that Bronco with a test drive.

Height adjustment slides the seat forward/backward a bit, but there is a different lever for the back angle and a lift bar under the seat as usual for forward/backward.

No lumbar IIRC.

Not the best angle, but this is what I captured back in April when the pre prod ones were on tour.
MGV Badlands, this was full recline.

The Bronco i test drove had lumbar support. It is a round knob. similar to one in a german car that adjusts seat angle. But its for lumbar.

Darn! I was hoping the front seats recline more....
Once of the current gripes about my current car is with the seat reclined, it hits the back seats and doesn't allow full recline...
My first negative takeaway from the bronco besides the stupid interior accent colors...

Was it leather or vinyl?


I ordered leather and swapped to vinyl last minute, right before getting a VIN. Because of that, I’m real familiar with the leather but not vinyl.

The one I drove had cloth seats, Black Onyx and Sandstone. It was a Wildtrack.
