4 door Badlands seat options...

[ktechll]

So just got back from the Texas off-rodeo and drove a 2 door badlands and a 4 door badlands. The 4 door had the electric seat adjustments and the 2 door was manual. I guess I didn't look close enough on the 2 door with the manual seats but I didn't figure out if they could be lowered. I am 6 feet tall and I was too tall for that cab. With the top off, my head was about an inch from the top of the roll bar. I had to slouch to stay low enough to be comfortable.

My order is a 4 door Badlands with marine vinyl and a MIC top. I'm worried now about the seat adjustments and thinking I need to spend the extra $2000 on the seat upgrades. I'll loose the wash out floors which is a bummer.

Does anyone have specs on the differences in how low the seats sit between the two? Did I miss an adjustment lever that lowers the seat bottom? I'm hoping that I just missed the adjustment lever and that I must have hopped in the passenger side after a kid had it jacked all the way up. If there is no up/down adjustment that is going to be a deal breaker on the standard option seats for me.

Thanks,

Ktechll

You missed the adjustment lever. There is a lever on the side that you pump to manually raise and lower the seats.

4 door is manual with cloth or vinyl, and has a manual lever for height adjustment.

4 door gets powered seats with leather.

All 2 doors have manual seats IIRC.

And just for fun, my Ranger has powered leather seats with lumbar, but I still have to use a lever to raise or lower the back.. in a $50k truck.

Ford is all over the place when it comes to seating.. but damn are they comfortable.

I thought 2dr manual in BL is only if you get the washout/MGV interior. I would assume getting the leather interior gets you auto seats (im too lazy to see lol)

I know, right? Seems like a safe assumption. But from my research and having not seen a 2 door in person, power is not an option at all.

Even with the manual seat cranked all the way down for me I still feel way too tall in the bronco. Like it needs to go even further down but doesn’t. I’m 6’2 and feel like I’m sitting on the bronco rather than in the bronco. If that makes sense. I have a badlands with MGV. Still trying to figure out what I can do to fix this issue as well.

I think that’s by design. Helps with visibility offroad.
