Does anyone else experience stiff legs walking after driving Maverick a couple hours?

[BoricuaBeautyx]

Maybe it is just me getting old but after driving couple hours on trip driving my 23 Mav Lariat my legs are stiff trying to walk for a few minutes. I feel very comfortable while driving. Road trip 10 hours. I don't have the issue driving my other vehicle. I am guessing it is because I cannot adjust the angle of the bottom seat since it is set in one position and can only be adjusted forward/backward up/down (no tilt).

I drive 3 hours each Saturday and I don't really have still legs on my XLT. Maybe if I'm too far away from the accelerator I feel some stiffness in the hips. But I'm also 22 and 5"3 (fun sized) so take my word with a grain of salt lol

There are dozens of variations of things like this on Amazon. Maybe one will help.

The Lariat also has adjustable lumbar support. The seat is comfortable

Although I'm fairly young (42) and in very good shape (PhD exercise physiologist, played D1 football, currently do MMA), I severely broke my back 3yrs ago, have pretty bad piriformis syndrome, and significant disc degeneration...my back is seriously screwed. Sitting in any position for long periods of time, let alone in a car, usually results in me being unable to stand up for a few days.

Last Sunday we drove ~4.5hrs to Idaho and then back on Wednesday. I was definitely stiff, but I could stand up and walk. MUCH better than had we driven our VW jetta.

How many low cost vehicles have that? Everyone bitches "I want that" or "why didn't they include this". One of the reasons you bought it was low cost so don't expect a Cadillac.

Actually my Cadillac ELR Hybrid had just the opposite, Seat sat to low and caused leg cramps and harder to exit because of the lower stance.

I use a wedge shaped seat cushion and I don't seem to have much of a problem.

No. I'm 77 and no issues after driving long distances. Going to order a new Maverick when the time comes and start training for the Iron Man. Is it me or the Maverick?

At 70+ I have not noted that with the Mav which I find to be quite comfortable. However my longest drives are only about 80 minutes. I have noted stiffness after driving my wife's much lower and much less comfortable Subie on the same trip. The driving position in the Subie aggravates an old knee injury. Not a problem in the Mav.

This is good to hear. Is anyone or any organization advertising doing this work?

Any reputable car stereo installation place would be able to follow these instructions. As for the programming, you do that on your own with your laptop and a obd cable.
