Love all the comments! You guys know that if Ford is going to sell electric seats then people are going to expect typical memory functions, especially at the price point. Are they needed on a Bronco? Absolutely not.

I really don’t think these were in the spirit of the original bronco function, maybe an Expedition would be a better vehicle choice?
What a low effort tired response. "Why would you be upset they didn't include a feature invented in the last 60 years". I'm sure you never turn your AC on either, after all, the original Bronco didn't have that either.

It could have easily been put on the center console on the drivers side of the window switches. There is nothing worse than having finally perfectly dialed in the seat and then my wife drives it and I spend the next day or two tweaking it until just right.

The other absurd omission is auto hold. The truck actually has it programed as an option but it is turned off in the computer. I mean it's a toggle, one they toggle on for the sport...

Love everything about my new Raptor. BUT, why do the electric seats have no option to save positions!! Such an oversight. I’m sure it has something to do with the cost of position sensors on the motors/worm drives. This is definitely an aftermarket opportunity.
I feel your pain!! I have a 2026 Badland with Lux and Leather and I find it odd that they didn't include at least two seat memory locations. Both me and my wife drive the Bronco but we are different sizes so every time we have to re-find the desired seat setup via trial and error. It's not the end of the world but how hard would it of been to add seat position telemetry that could be stored. The seats probably already have this embedded, but for some reason Ford chose to not utilize it. Dumb.

I could see your point if there was more than one driver. I got mine manual for a reason, less stuff to break and I do not move my seat often. They are nice in my wife Navigator.
My wife and I both drive manuals and drive our Bronco which is manual. She is short and I am less short. Having memory would be nice. It exists in many, many vehicles, this is not rocket science.

Who in their right mind would let anyone drive your rig, including the significant other. Oh yeah, just us guys that are whipped. Me included. It really isn’t a big deal. A few minutes out of our lives to keep a happy wife. Besides it is just another thing to break. But when I got her to OK the buy of the Tremor it had to have the 402a package for seat memory. It cost another 10 grand and by the way she is the CFO. The things we do to keep the wife happy.

My wife’s 2000’s Tahoe had two memory seat buttons on the side of the seat. No need to program this feature into the BCM or the infotainment system. This is a low budget stand alone feature that is missed on a power seat in a $60k+ vehicle.
