I’ve had my factory ordered 2021 Longhorn for about 3 weeks. It has 600 miles on it now. The attached pic is my driver seat. The leather on the seat where my *** sits seems loose already and isn’t taught l

Some stretching is normal, but that seems excessive. That said, sometimes the vehicle will be returned in far worse condition, so use caution.
 
For sure, better just trade me your seats. Black Laramie seats don’t do that. Haha
 
First go to the dealer and get it noted. See what their fix will be, if a simple replacement then you should be ok. However, if their fix is replacing the cover, that could be more issues with their attempt than what it's worth.

I would then go to an auto upholstery shop, they can usually shrink that with some moist heat, may take a few minutes to do and a few bucks. Maybe even your best first option?
 
My power wagon is doing that on the seat back. I wonder what the dealer will tell me

Odd. To me, that looks more like your wife's ***.

;)

(C'mon...can't we all just have a laugh?)
 
Damn...someone is just puckering up a little too much while driving.

Seriously, is the leather just loose all together there? How is the other seat? Sometimes it just be because of usage that is causing it. On my ram, since I’m short, I tend to slide out of the driver seat, so now my side is wrinkling up a little. I got step bars to help me. Once the weather warms up, I will apply some conditioner on the seat to see if I can ease those wrinkles.

How much do you weigh? May need to stay away from the drive-thru windows;)
 
Here's a pic of my driver's seat with 750 miles on the truck. I'm 6'4", 250lbs. Not sure if it matters, temps here have been anywhere from 5f to 60f. Took the picture it was 40f. When the seat is cold, it takes a bit longer to lose the imprints after I get out.20210207_120700.jpg
 
My last two Rams with leather seats did that. One was a Laramie and the other a Long Horn. I now have cloth which are holding up much better...and I swore I’d never purchase FCA leather again.
