Memory Seats

[texasgreazer]

Man I am old. I can't imagine caring about that. Brave new world I guess.

Then again I whine when my Amazon package is a day late, so who am I to judge!

Never really considered it a "want" until we had it in the wife's Edge Titanium. Now that we have "upgraded" to an Explorer XLT it's one of the options we miss the most. It's her daily and the family car, but if I'm going-I'm driving, so it gets moved a lot. Also very convenient on road trips/vacations where you might switch several times in a day.

I think part of the hassle of adjusting without memory is the fact that the seats are so adjustable, 6 ways/8ways/lumbar/etc. Wouldn't be so bad if all you change was fwd/back, but now I have to change 6-8 different settings, and every single one is different for us!
seat back vertical vs reclined; base high and flat vs low and inclined; eating the steering wheel vs stretched out; lumbar in vs out; and don't forget tilt/tele on the steering wheel, and all the needed mirror adjustments too!

Fair point. Wife's Lexus has memory seats, but I hate driving it, so I never set them to me. I rather dislike electric seats, so I am bias. Wife loves them.

I am going simple on the Bronco, mostly because, I don't think Ford does fancy that great. Now Lexus, they got nice interior and as I joke, about 5 years ahead of Ford on amenities.

I should probably add, my current truck does not have it, and the Bronco would rarely be used. She's never been behind the wheel of the truck in 2 years, and the same will likely happen with the Bronco....esp if I go manual!

It didn't take long for someone to make my point about the same questions getting asked over and over here.

The OP was already posting in a “No memory seats” thread and acknowledged the situation... and then started this thread.

I know, someone in the BN video thread was ragging because the same questions got asked many times. I pointed out the same happens here and often several times in the same thread. Then, I came to this thread and my point was proved.

Please don't tell me I am about to drop $65k on an FE Bronci with no memory seats??? I am 6' and the wife is 5'. Will we really need to adjust EVERYTHING each time we swap drivers?????

I saw that and in that same thread the guy below you posted something about the Sasquatch package and daily driving...

Give me a few hours with an Arduino, I'll figure something out. Hope you ordered the auxiliary switches

You could buy two Base Broncos.

What no cup holders? Where will I put me beer?

I feel your pain. I am 5' and my hubby is 6'2". I don't have memory seats on my F150, but I DO have power seats. Non-negotiable. I also have a knee injury from a car wreck (not my fault, fyi) back in the day - before power pedals - where my knee plowed into the dash in a head on collision. I need those power seats. I'm worried about the no power pedals.
