Has anyone come up with a solution to the extremely uncomfortable seats in the new Chevys?

 

I took my '07 F150 in for an alignment and couldn't believe how much more comfortable the Ford is compared to my TB.

 

Anyone traded out the seats yet for more comfy ones?

Do you have cloth or leather.  I came from a 17 Yukon with all the vibration stuff in them so my 19 LT TB seats (leather) feel pretty darn good compared to my Yukon.  I see a few do take exception with them and if you have cloth, maybe a Katzkin installer could do a comfort mod and then cover in leather?  Or, could remove upholstery and do foam enhancement?  Don't even know if its possible just tossing out ideas? Good luck and keep ia posted on what you end up with.

I guess it's different for different butts/backs.  For me, my '15 Ford Lariat leather seats were terrible, and I find my TB LT leather seats the finest I've sit in in any truck recently.  Sorry for your troubles!

Are they electric? Lumbar support for lower back?

 

I'm considering doing the leather at local aftermarket shop, wonder if they can put in lumbar support?

The “butt” portion is the same shape on all trims. The adjustable lumbar might help a little bit but if you’re not happy with the general shape, nothing really to do.

 

Keep in mind that the 2007 F150 is probably akin to sinking into grandma’s worn out couch. Now, these seats do soften up a bit after some miles, but even the previous generation was softer overall. Some like it, some hate it. I’m pretty much indifferent personally.

That's what I was thinking he could try. I'd certainly ask them.  They can put heat in seems a lumbar should be doable.

they are a bit firm......at first I had butt portion moved way up and finally found a comfy setting in my truck ( took cpl months seriously).....now have flattened out butt portion and its noticeably better, still tho seats are very firm...I have cloth seats in RST trim.....wish I would have got power in passenger side tho as seats are extremely low stock.......am so so glad I have at least power seat in drivers side. I think I would have returned truck had I not.......its not the easiest truck to get comfortable in but have found a setting that I like now......I tell car wash peeps not to touch it!.....took me forever to find it

I used to think me seats in my '21 rst were not bad. I've put nearly 30k miles on it and seats seem to be more firm now then ever., which tends to create discomfort after about 20 minutes of driving.  I also had a '21 Titan pro4x and it had the most comfortable seats I ever sat in. I'm seriously considering trading in for an f150 if I can not find a solution. If anyone knows of better replacement seats or cushion replacement I would be into most ideas at this point

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.

      AFM Disabler Question

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.
