Need help with front seat comfort

[Andrewh2020]

solution: a lot of folks suffer from the headrest pushing the head too far forward ... there are many reasons why they are designed that way, but if it causes severe ergonomic issues,

Do people actually drive with there head against the headrest?? Is it weird that my head doesn't hit the headrest?

Toe bunion and hammertoe surgery .

I find the seat back and headrest comfortable but I’m a bit disappointed in the seat bottom. Just seems a bit unforgiving. I have a ‘20 Expedition for work car and that thing is super comfortable…seat seems to wrap around you like a glove. Very comfy so maybe I’m just used to that seat.

Never have my head touch it. They are 100% a safety feature but I guess with certain cars and adjustability you could rest your head against it.

^^^^^ agreed.

You're supposed to be able to touch the top of the steering wheel with your wrists without having to move your body forward. Make sure you can reach the buttons and touch screen without stretching. Sit upright with only a slight backwards lean.

This video is focused more on racing seat position, but those guys have it figured out for optimal control and comfort:

If the headrest pushes too far forward just pull it out and turn it around. Pretty simple, easy solution. We did it on ours before we left the dealer's lot. We even do it to rental cars if we have to.

Has anyone noticed that the driver seat cushion (the thing your butt touches) isn't quite level and slants towards the center of the vehicle? I have lower lumbar degenerative disc issues and I find it slightly uncomfortable. Has anyone found this to be an issue and resolved it? Is there any mechanical adjustment I could make to fix this? Spacers, etc? Don't want to tear apart the seat if it's all pre-fab spacing.

Thx

6'1' , we love our vehicle, so will look for something

I've been a Toyota man for many decades. All of my cars and 4Runners have had adjustable head rests to take care of that very problem. I never thought to check on the Tellurides that I have sat in and driven, but so far no problem for me.
