As a fellow 5'4" person with a similar build, I agree with you 100%. I've only had mine a week but still have not found the perfect position. I've narrowed mine down to the headrest. I can deal with the rest. I have a co-worker with a 2021 F-150 and I had him take out his adjustable headrest and compare to mine. The actual headrest of the F-150 is slightly larger but the posts fit in the Bronco. Spent the morning looking at ordering stock F-150 headrest to replace. Costly but I think it's an option. I understand that you are dealing with the clutch, but like others have mentioned , mess with the telescoping steering wheel, the lumbar support (the knob) and the height of the seat. Good Luck!
Just go rent a F150 for a day and swap them out - problem solved

Only 950 mi into my WT, but I love the seats so far.

its very body dependent. My wife is extremely uncomfortable. Its ok for me but I have had much more comfortable seats. I am also 50 yrs old and have back problems from yrs of fire service. So I am sure these seats can be comfortable for some people. Especially the younger you are. But they couldve made a few more adjustment points. After a long ride I am very uncomfortable for sure. 20 mins I am fine.My f350 had a million different ways to adjust the seat. Super comfortable. Is what it is.

DesertDoesIt sells seat spacers for the front of the seat. Highly recommend them.

To be fair, there are many vehicles with far worse seats. The 750i BMW of my in laws is one example. Even though you can adjust the seats in all possible ways, it is for me impossible to find the right position. The seats are super uncomfortable and much more worse than the Bronco seats. I guess with my own cars I was just lucky. I owened many cars and except of the toyota Camry, all of them had very comfortable seats. The most comfortable of all seats was the one of the Infiniti Q50.
Anyway, I haven't given up my hope on the Bronco seats yet....

I had to add these same type of seat risers to my Wranglers over the years. They make a huge difference and can change the tilt also with a little more spacer in the front or less in the back.

They made my TJ’s usable and the JK’s and JL’s just about perfect.

Best seats in the Jeep were the 2013-2018 JK seats plus these risers only in the front. For me, that was perfection.

So far the Bronco’s have been good for me. I’m 5’ 10, 190 so probably fit in more seats since I’m pretty average size for Americans these days.

As much as I adore my Bronco...I think Ford whiffed on the seats. Replaced with Katzkin leather and they look much better and (at least in my mind) they are more comfortable.

Those look nice but I like many have never found leather seats or furniture comfortable. I do find the seats in my base Bronco comfortable.
