Order date coming up and need a front seat passenger review stat! Can anyone owning not lux package please sit in passenger seat and tell me if it sits high enough in regards to dashboard or is it fishbowl feeling. Wife is 5'6" and hates sitting low to dash. If it's fine then Xl is fine order for me. If it sits low to dash then Xlt lux is needed. Save me the money and/ or grief please

Sorry I do not have non lux but in our Honda CR-V my wife uses a 1 1/2-2" gel cushion.

I’m not sure why a Lux or non-Lux matters?

We have Lux model Lariats and my wife is 5’-6” also. The seats do not sit low at all.

She has her own Mav and loves driving it. She refused to drive any of full size trucks we’ve owned in the past.

My 2cents worth. Don’t spend it all in one place. 😊

Standard is 4 way for passenger. Need Lux to get 6 way. So height adjustment is not standard for the passenger.

Guess I need to read the manual, because we haven’t seen the height adjuster on the passenger seat.

I’ll check that.

"I’m not sure why a Lux or non-Lux matters?" Because Lux has passenger height adjustment Non lux do not. I am interested in the standard non adjustable seat height.

5'6" is not short. That's taller than average for a woman in the US of 5'4". My mother in law is 4'7" That's short. My wife is 5'2" Never had trouble in any vehicle I've bought. My mother in law usually sits with the seat back more straight up though.

BTW, the highest dash I ever saw was a 64-66 Thunderbird. Hated that I couldn't see over it when I was 10.

Rental cars often we find (ford fusion, New civic, corolla,) passenger seat sits low and no way to raise it. Dealer has ZERO Mavs so can't even sit in one pre order let alone test drive its. Hence the question

My wife, 5' 5", complains about the low passenger seat in our 2020 Sonata Hybrid, but she loved riding in our niece's XLT.

I'm 5'6" and have zero issues in terms of sitting too low. Great line of sight all around in the Maverick. Left a review of my experience test driving my friend's Tacoma 2.7L. Felt like I was sitting on the floor with my knees up to my chin.

Jenny, if you have only driven your Mac and not ride in front seat could you check that position for me?
