Default Front Seats

Okay... so IDK if anyone else noticed this... but I have a tendency to be parked and relaxing in my truck alot...and I've noticedthat when I angle my seat as far back as I can... it doesn't go as far as most front seats should... infact I actually have alot of space left and I feel it should go back further... and Its not just the driver seat either...when my gf sits in the passenger seat ...it doesn't go any further back than mine. Anyway I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to why this is...or whether its just my truck... or how to fix it... really any help would be appreciated...

I think it is because they use the same seats in the crew cabs they do in the QC. In the quad they should have a seat that will go all the way back as there is plenty of room like a car.

I hadn't noticed the reclining thing, didn't try to put them all the way back yet. But does anyone else find those forward-angled headrests annoying?

The seats should go back further. In every vehicle, I owned with reclining front seats they went back at least to meet the back seat. Even my 95 Dak reclined back further as well as my Jeep and Caravan. I don't find it a problem. If catch a lunchtime catnap the seat does go back enough for that. Now I'm sure there are other reason for a full recline..... As far as the forward headrest I found them strange for a while but got use to them and figured their lawyers made them do that or something like that. It would be tough to get whiplash with that angle.

I sure appreciated them when I got rear ended !

What bugs me is that the front seats don't fold forward! It sure would make putting large items in the backseat easier!

Yeah, um, I have a bed for the larger items.
