I ordered a 21 King Ranch on August 26th. I picked it up from the dealer on January 21st. It was an early build, just got caught up at the factory before delivery.
I immediately noticed an issue with the size of the drivers seat - the base, not the back. It’s extremely small and uncomfortable. The left bolster hits me mid hamstring and the leg is totally off the seat closest to the knee. My billfold hangs off the seat when in my left back pocket. The seat also feels as though it’s turned slightly to the right.
My dealership agrees with my opinion. Every employee, including the owner, thinks there’s an issue. They’ve taken the seat out and reinstalled it. No change. The dealership has been great about the whole ordeal. In fact, I’m currently driving a 21 XLT from their lot until the issue is resolved.
I've been in every other 21 trim level except the Limited. None of the other trims share the same seat issue. Although the seats feel and measure smaller than previous years, they still “fit”. I’ve not been in another 21 King Ranch to compare. I’m not huge, but not tiny. 6’2”, 250 lbs.
My dealer has contacted Ford with no resolution.
Needless to say, I’m mad and disappointed. I specifically ordered this truck with every option I wanted. I really like everything about the truck, but absolutely despise the drivers seat. I can honestly say it’s the most uncomfortable truck I’ve ever driven. I can’t tolerate it. I’m done with it.
I’d like some feedback from other 21 King Ranch owners regarding their driver’s seat. Is it a King Ranch specific issue? Maybe an early build King Ranch issue? My seat is a disaster straight from the factory.
