If I gave a rat's ass about the back seat passengers they wouldn't be in the back seat.

If you fast forward to 47:15 on this video, you can see it. Driver side only.
I remember now someone mentioning that Ford doesn't count lumbar as one of the "ways"

Before Ralph Nader and Federal crash standards...I don't know, but Ford if you are listening, please consider a better option for allowing more 2-door rear seat access. There are various ways of design, here is from an old Blazer:
With no presets, I don't miss the power seats nearly as much. I will be surprised if the memory feature doesn't get added in a future model year, though.

The problem is some dumbass will not latch the seat correctly, get in an accident, and kill a passenger. Then Ford will have the Pinto flamb'e all over again. You can't bulletproof against dumbass...

Yes, people confuse what is possible from an engineering standpoint with what is possible when complying with FMVSS.

Bs. That’s the same as just getting into a car and a passenger doesn’t put a seatbelt on and dies. Manufacturer isn’t responsible.
No actually, I was saying I presume it's more the seats ability to lift up at all. Foreward collision, seat latch fails, seat throws your face into the dashboard and you have the air bag coming out somewhere between 100 to 220 mph with nowhere to go except into your face.... Probably wouldn't be pretty and a good lawyer could blame it on poor engineering from the manufacturer! LolYes obviously it’s the latch. But a pull type spring actuated latch would not break similar to this:

Operator error. If you indeed latch a seat? It won’t fail. One family may get paid IF this unicorn collision/catastrophe existed? But probably only 1. Not 5 families.
I am in this camp. It will be my vehicle and the wife may drive it once just to see but then she will be back to her Q5. The Q5 has memory seats and that's good because when we travel long distances I drive.
Best this forum has been able to ascertain, no memory on the Bronco power seats. Maybe if they build a King Ranch it will have power seats.

A lot of the people in this thread have never worked to keep idiots from killing themselves and others... and it shows.

There are only 2 levers and a knob. The knob controls the lumbar. The lever to right I believe ratchets the seat up and down. The lever near the backrest controls the tilt. There's also a bar under the seat that controls forward and back functions.
Power seats screw with my OCD. I find a myself spending way you much time trying to tweak then for that perfect spot. Also with my seat position is a set it and forget it thing. Once it's where I want it, that's where it stays. I'm perfectly fine with manual seats. And one less thing to fail.
This is the same reason I like memory seats. The seat moves all the way back and the steering wheel lifts up for easy exit and entry. When starting the vehicle, the settings return without any assistance.
