Thanks. With regards to the seat sizes, does anyone know if they are different between trims? Would a limited seat possibly be bigger than the Rebel? I feel like so many of the uncomfortable seat posts that I see for Ram are the Rebel trim. Pretty bummed I got rid of my old 2015 express that was so comfy. Haddddd to have a new one and nicer trim

Other than the differences in materials, the bolstering might be different. I haven't driven a Rebel in a couple of years, but my TRX seats feel the same as my 2021 Laramie seats, other than the material. The TRX seats are leather and the Laramie seats are a mix of leather/pleather, but the bolstering feels the same.

Go drive a cloth seat in a newer Silverado - you'll love your RAM seat after that. TERRIBLE

My Silverado's cloth seats in my 2018 were a million times more conferrable then my 22 Limited.

Agreed, my 06 Silvies cloth seats were amazing.
I've never been a fan of all leather seats. They are always harder and not as comfortable. I like the seats in my BTS. Good mix of cloth and faux leather.

Depends how well they break in.
My wife's Traverse has full leather seats. They aren't as comfortable as her old Traverse with cloth seats or my Ram

My 2013 Acadia has awesome full leather seats.
It is an older model though.
We are just comparing current vehicles. It's not like I'm trying to compare to my 66 D100 with vinyl bench.Having spent a lot of my younger years on vinyl bench seats in vehicles made in the 70’s I would say my RAM seats are pretty darn comfortable. You guys are too soft.

Just adding some humor.
We all tend to forget how bad things were and how good we actually have it now.

My 97 Expedition had the best cloth seats I have had so far.Just adding some humor.

The seat didn't even have an adjustable headrest, it was all 1 piece...

My Rebel seats are beautiful, and now comfortable for me by raising the front.
However, I wonder if being too esthetically pleasing maybe making this more complicated in regards to comfort? Not just for RAM seats, but in many new vehicles today.

I'm sure it's got something to do with that. That and cost savings.
How does Ram not come with a factory dead pedal\foot rest?

My only complaint is the lumbar support doesn’t expand as far as it should. With messed up discs in my lower back that’s pretty important for long drives but I can easily add something to improvise if needed. Yes I’m getting soft too in my older age.

I am completely the opposite. After 4 lumbar spine surgeries, I can't tolerate any additional lumbar support. Actually, after I dicked up my L4-L5 disc, I couldn't tolerate any lumbar support.

They need a wider range of adjustability for us invalids
When I drove Silverado’s they adjusted way more.

I’m talking about the 2019+. Worst. Seats. Ever. Just terrible. I almost took a huge loss and sold my Silverado lease just because I hated them so much.

My dad had a Silverado in the early 90s. Milk crates would have been more comfortable. The backs were a straight 90, if not actually leaning forward, and were like sitting on plywood. Do you guys complaining not have power seats? You need the front higher than it goes?
