Uncomfortable front seats! What is the solution?

[huck2080]

For me, it isn't my back per se, it's my shoulders. Coming from a BMW 328 with leather bucket seats, the flat seat isn't providing any support for my shoulders as my arms stretch out to the steering wheel, resulting in upper-back/shoulder pain after a few hours.

Certainly not a problem enough to get rid of my Bronco, but my one complaint.

did you pull the steering wheel closer ?

Agree. Maybe something like this to support the legs.

Interesting where did you find this would like to try it !!
Thanks

I have the same issue. Glad to know I’m not alone. It’s 100 percent the bottom seat cushion angle for me. It leans forward just a bit too much. Drives me crazy.

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

my 2021 bd 4dr 2.7l soft tpo sas seats are great ?
try moving the lumber as others mentioned
im 5 10 222 lbs

Flew to DFW on a Friday morning and picked up my new 2023 BD Manual 2-door, drove the 1,200 miles back to Richmond Va (18 hours non-stop), never had an issue with the seats...I'm 58 years old. Maybe you are better in a lower-to-the-ground seating position of a mustang. I doubt you will be able to duplicate that feel in a Bronco.

My favorite comments were the "you're sitting wrong". Freakin clowns lol.

The "clowns" are most likely correct! lol.

I got the Electric Leather seats on a OBX for precisely that reason. They are minutely adjustable. The seating position in a Mustang is more laying back; Bronco sits up. Getting in is different as well. Id check with an orthopedic or Chiropractor to be sure you dont have spine issues that the new car exacerbated. For a start. Typically, I lay back, im tall, but Id be annoyed to have to adjust the seat manually . . . That alone would hurt my back

I’m pretty sure the issue is the headrest. I felt the same, and it improved a lot after pushing the lumber support all the way out. New Bronco should have a 4way headrest, hopefully we can upgrade to it.

Seat jackers to accentuate the lumbar?

Wow, i felt like I was always sliding my rear back in the seat, and apparently I am not the only one.

Dont get a jeep if you trade it...you will be even more uncomfortable.

I have the seat jackers
I like them 3400 miles in 11 days and a blown l4/l5 I need surgery on

I deal with back pain off and on from office chairs. I can say that very small adjustments can make a big difference. My stock Bronco seat has been great so far, but my longest trip has only been an hour.
