I have never had Recaro seats. Will they be a bad idea if this truck will be used a lot on the highway?

Side note: I hope Ford offers other color choices, the blue is terrible on the 37 package IMO.

I have Recaros in my Mustang, did a number of long drives, the longest being from Toronto, Ontario Canada down to the tail of the dragon, I feel that what I paid for them (custom factory order) was worth it, if you like being hugged, then the Recaros are awesome.

I have them on my 14 Camaro and they were worth every penny as it keeps me where I need to be during an autocross event. Now on a Raptor I'm not going to do this type of turns so (if I can find a dealer to order me one) I will go without and save the money (not going 37 either so....)

I would go without them if you aren't doing any type of Motorsports, although resale value with Recaro's is usually a lot higher.

The Recaros in the Gen 2 Raptor were more uncomfortable than the regular leather. This was especially true if you were a BIG guy. However the 2021 Raptor has different Recaros from the Gen2. I’ve seen a few car reviewers say they were wider and better there is no way for you to tell how good they are until you personally sit in them.

If I were getting a Gen 3 I’d opt for the base leather.
