Have you reversed the headrest yet?

I stacked three 3/8" washers under the front seat mounts.

Guess you should have ordered the electric front seats, seeing that you have LUX. My wife has major back issues and said the seats are almost a comfortable as our F-150 King Ranch. Order a set of electric seats. There must be some 3rd party plug and play out there.

Hey Y'all!

I have a 2022 4dr Badlands Lux w/ MGV(Took delivery June 2022 and put 27k miles on it already). It has manual seat adjustments and I can get it to "comfortable enough" but on drives of 1hr+ I get pretty bad back pain. I did a 9hr straight drive and my back hurt for like 2 weeks afterwards

For comparison sake, I had a 2019 Mustang Bullitt before this and I could take it on 4hr+ drives with no pain.

I'm not an ergonomics expert, so I'm not quite sure what the source of this discomfort is. Has anyone else had a similar experience and a fix?

I'm open to the idea of replacing the whole seat, if that's what it takes I love my Bronco and would like to keep it for a very long time... But if I can't solve this, I might have to trade it for something else

Wish l could suggest something but for me, these were the first seats in quite a few cars I've owned that l found immediately comfortable.-a highlight for the Bronco imo. Sorry to hear you can't find the right adjustment.

Used to work for a guy who worked for a chiropractor. Said the #1 issue he had with men was them wearing their wallet in their back pocket. I was having back pain on the regular, put my (overstuffed) wallet in my back pocket. Moved it to my front pocket and voila! Most of my back pain dissipated in a few days.

Moral of the story: See a doctor and think about root causes; you may have some underlying issue that needs treatment or at least diagnosis.

Subtext: Don't put your wallet in your back pocket.

This made the biggest change for me. I feel like I need my seat reclined a ridiculous amount and my headrest back for comfort. Doing this changed my limit from a hour to multiple plus.
Mind you I’ve never had this problem with any other vehicle, including the multiple work trucks I’ve had.

Is this serious or a joke? I’ve only had my Bronco for about 2 weeks now and find the headrest the worst part about the seat. Feel like it pushes my head forward and wished there was a way to adjust it back, but it only goes up or down. Hadn’t even thought about just pulling it out and reversing. Genius! Going to try that when I leave work.

flip the headrest and save $60 by going to a fastener store. there are wedges used for bolting though i-beam flanges to keep the bolt vertical, if the headrest don't work. i make good money but can't justify $80 for a couple of blots and wedges.

Is this a difference between trims or something? My headrest moves forward/backward.

Try no lumbar support at all (vs. max which you said you have it set to).
My Base seats are good for 12 hours, so I don't have a problem, but minimum lumbar support is the best setting for me.

I think adjustable headrests are only High or Lux package.
