So I have a 2015 sierra denali crew cab. The rib has been complaining lately that the seat was uncomfortable and she thought it was the headrest. So today after comparing the passenger seat and driver seat, the passenger seats headrest is either bigger or just angled different on the post. Does anyone else have this or is this normal, or can the angle be adjusted, not just the height? I moved the two and the passenger definitely sits further forward ( hanging over the seat where your back is) than the drivers headrest. Any thoughts or am I just crazy?

If you pull the headrest towards you and let it go it will reset to the "normal" position. I believe this is how you do it. Mine was off and the wife complained about. Didn't know they adjusted that way until I read on here about them.

Ha me too. I feel completely dumb, but that fixed my issue. Glad I tried this site before going to dealership and looking foolish though. I love this site

Just FYI to others that might read this, I believe my LT only does this on the driver's seat...not on passengers. My driver's is the only one with power controls which might have impact on the adjustable headrest option.

Does anyone else find the headrests uncomfortable? I moved mine all of the way back and up and down and can't find a position where it's not sticking into my head at an angle. It seems like the headrest is angled at a weird angle.

I find the headrest on my Base Sierra obscenely hard. The geometry is ok, I just wish it were a little more plush.

All new vehicles are slowing going to this as it is the new safety standard. ”Active Head Restraints”

Weird, I have the same problem but mine isn’t adjustable. My solution was just to remove it. It looks goofy, but it’s more comfortable, and I can see traffic to my 7 to 8 o’clock much better.

How do you get them off?   Mine go to the top with the little button then seem to just stop.

It's not that they are "active head restraints", it's that the angling of the headrest is not comfortable. The bottom sticks out even when I have it sitting as far back as possible.

Hold that button in as you lift the headrest out of the seat. You’ll probably have to lean the seat back or it’ll hit the roof before it comes out. Keep in mind, removing the headrest could result in injury if you get rear-ended.

Does anyone know if any of the BMW headrests will fit? On the newer 5 series they fit flush on those seats. I wonder even if those seats would fit in the Sierra?

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
