Are 2024 XLT Hybrid Front seats any different from 2023 XLT Hybrid Front seats?

I'm 6'2" and my head had about half inch of clearance to the headliner with moonroof. Could feel my hair touching. Just bothered me. Also, the moonroof size is smaller than previous car Ford Freestyle with moonroof. Ford did not design the seats to go down further like they did for other cars (Ford Focus). There is room for seat be lower if they designed to go lower. I looked at possibly changing the seat frame but decided was not worth it as had another maverick coming with no moonroof/sunroof. I use sunroof and moonroof interchangeably. If you look at sunroof/moonroof maverick to normal roof loose quite a bit of interior space. My wife had a normal roof maverick and I compared the 2. Also, takes head room away in the 2nd row and my son will be taller than me. We were not able to sit in maverick before ordering so we ordered blind and waited for them to come in.

My drivers seat is an electronic adjustment type. I can adjust the height all the way down to the floor. I have the moon/sunroof. I'm 6'1" though. I do tend to wear fedoras and don't have the issue.

Anyone know of any differences in 2024 & 2023 XLT Hybrid Front seats ( with manual adjustments)? I'm looking to buy seat covers but my manufacturer doesn't have the 2024 patterns/templates yet, and just wondering if there are any differences? If not, I can buy the 2023 if it's exact same, and not have to wait 6 more months.
Thanks to anyone who knows the answer for certain.

I don't have info to answer your question but am curious about the seat covers you want to order. Can you share a link or something to point me in the right direction? Thank you!

Hey HappyFuel, just a head's up~~~~ marathonseatcovers.com is going to stop production of new orders after May 2024 ; they've been absorbed by CoverCraft who will be making the Cordura Nylon seat covers BUT you won't be able to customize them with front seat pockets, back of seat customized accessories, etc. So if you're thinking of ordering from Marathon, you need to place your order now. I'm rolling the dice and ordering 2023 covers for my 2024 XLT after doing extensive research on the fact that there were no differences in front row seats on the two model years. Coupon code COVER15 might get you a 15% discount. Good luck.

Agreed. 6’2” and loving it. In fact my salesman was 6’3” and commented on how much space there still is.

Same. I’ve even raised my seat a bit I have so much headroom. I love having the sunroof.
