Recaro seat nightmare - wish I had my money back!

[jroub]

I made sure not to ‘slip’ out of the truck but step on the runners to not wear down the seats. I CRINGE watching people ‘slide’ out of my passenger side, especially the older, or bigger folks. It’s horrible wear and tear on higher vehicles.

Jayzuss. Eat some fruit.

Your truck will thank you.

My ‘fun size’ wife used to love to turn and slide out of the truck. I knew the talk would be a difficult one so, I broached it one Saturday, just before motorcycle racing was on. I got the look, silent treatment for 6 hours and got to watch the races in total peace and harmony, only paying the price at dinner.

Now if she does the slide, she will make a big production out of getting back in the truck and getting out the correct way. :-/

You're brave. I let my wife get in or out any way she wants. But she's not fun sized, maybe 120 dripping wet.

Agree, I had the bottom cushion of my seat (non recaro) replaced on my '18 at 5K miles, it was already out of spec per Ford. I am the second owner but whoever owned it before me only put on 5K miles in 3 years of owning the truck. After replacing it and putting on my own 6K miles since I use the lift out method, sux but I don't want to have to replace again. Oh and they glue the headed seat part to the foam so they both have to be replaced at the same time.

75,000 on my truck. No seat problem. Yes, 6', 200+. Just don't do the alligator off the bank thing.

You’ll need to post a pic of this truck or some may think you’re driving a Prius with broken seats.

I'm really big b-o-n-e-d at 6' and 310 lbs. Yes I could stand to lose about 80 lbs, I'm trying.

I have easy entry/exit set and lift and scoot by butt forward a little then put my left foot out the door onto the step whilst using mostly the handle and very little steering wheel to get out while pushing up my weight with my left leg.

Works well because climbing in/out through the sunroof was a little tough.
