In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum.

Does anyone know if the headrests can be adjusted for the front to rear tilt ?? I took a test drive today and the driver side appeared to be tilted more forward than the passenger side and was uncomfortable. I lightly played with it but did not see an actual adjustment.Thanks for any help !!!
 
Thanks.Haven't bought one yet and it was the only thing I saw I didn't like.

I have noted the same issue. I solved this by putting it all the way down so that the headrest is more on the back of my neck, than my head. I did note that in the quick start manual, it implied that the headrest can be tilted forward and back, but in looking at it, I couldn't figure it out. Fortunately, the material support is very soft and should conform to one's head (like memory foam).

Thanks Rick.On the one I drove the passenger side appeared much more strait up so maybe their quality control varies.
 
I have an SX Telluride 2021. Headrest does not have fore/aft adjustment. I am 5 ft tall. Headrest is so uncomfortable that it is causing me headaches and pain in my back. I also find the seat edge very uncomfortable as it is very firm. It digs into the bag of my legs. I never noticed during test drives. One would need to be in the car for at least 20-30 minutes.
Suggestions I've seen recommend switching front headrests for the ones on the rear seat. I love the headrest in my friends Audi. It has a little button on the side of the headrest itself that allows it to move fore and aft. I is so so so comfortable! Even if I have a ponytail or wearing a banana clip on the back of my head.
I am hunting for a compatible replacement.

A woman on the FB group posted about this recently...she had the same complaint...she found an upholstery shop to remove some material from inside the headrest to essentially make it 2-3 inches thinner. They stitched it all back together and you couldn't tell work had been done. The before & after pic looked really good and it made a big difference for her.
