Anyone changed out the their drivers seat?

If I am not mistaken, you are the first to complain about the seats this way. Was the seat damaged upon delivery? Not trying to be rude, but are you above average ht & wt? Why do you think you are having this problem. I have a 21 Mazda CX-5, and I always use a seat cushion. Last year I did a 7500 mi trip; and a good cushion really helped on those 10 hour driving days, good luck!

You are not being rude and nope, he's not the first to complain. There is a definitive problem with the engineering of the front seats; the seat base does not "tilt." It was a deliberate shortcut in the seat design mechanics. See string "Drivers seat height - any solutions?"

I purchased a set of these for my Ridgeline, and they work just fine to elevate the seat base. Takes about 35 minutes to install.

Anyone changed out the their drivers seat yet? I’ve owned mine for over a year now and I’ve got the seat adjusted the best I can thanks to suggestions from other users on here, but aside from the front of the seat height being non-adjustable the bottom seat cushion really starts to feel uncomfortable for more than 30 minute trips. I’m debating on getting one of those taxi driver bead sets, though that would increase the distance from the lower seat cushion surface to the floor - really don’t want to do that. Wondering if the Lincoln’s seat cushion would bolt to the Maverick’s manual seat frame? Don’t have the electric seat here.

I just got my Maverick XLT and these are the most uncomfortable seats ever! I’m only 5’1” and 130 lbs; can’t imagine how anyone finds these seats to be fine. They’re way too short and I’m really short! So bad I’m thinking about returning the Maverick

Love the truck, HATE the seats. What can I do?

Just an FYI, The driver power seat track is the same in the Bronco Sport/Escape/Maverick. The manual 6 way only lists for the Escape/Maverick.

Hey there Eric, this is an old thread, but you seem to be one of the few with actual information instead of speculation. I would like to change out my (terrible to me) base '21 XL manual front seats with a pair from a '17 Titanium Escape. Airbags seem to be same locations, the wiring diagrams for both look similar for power, and the seat size is identical. I realize that the seat heater won't work without changing out the dash HVAC control or installing an alternate switch, but I'm OK with that in SoCal. Do you have any other info that I should consider? thanks Kevin
