My seat is caving in a bit onthe left hand side. I think it was Watermelon man who mentioned how to repair these seats.

No offense to anyone here, but with all the "uncomfortable" comments, it sounds like a bunch of old men... "my back"
I love these seats, maybe not a cushy as Chevy... but still top notch.
On second thought, maybe it isbecause I am youngand still ok with a500 mile tripon a motorcycle.[8D]

When i was looking for a truck I thought dodge and ford had the most comfortable seats. I prefer the seats in my moms 02 ford over my dodge due to the fact it really feels like your sitting up in a truck. But i'm sure that's part of the dash and everything else. Other wise i don't have any complaints except the back of mine is too high for me to wear my Cowboy hat comfortably. But ehhh.. I personally found the chevy seats the most uncomfortable. I feel like the seat is trying to suck me into the back and eat me! messed around with the one duramax's seat i testdrove for about 5 minutes and could not just get in that right position. I guess it's all personal prefrence.

LOL ... it's not really so much bitchin as it is a known fact.

It's a known fact that SOME of the seats in the Dodges DID come from the factory as being defective. We had one guy here ( can't remember who ... sorry ) who bought a brand new Ram, TRIED to like his seats, but just couldn't do it. He was all set to bail on the entire truck until he came here and found out that it was a common problem. He went back to his dealer, sat in a couple of other Rams, and the seats were night and day from his. His seat was covered under warranty and they replaced it for him and he is now good as gold.

The seats in my year ( 2nd gens ) are KNOWN to crush after time. Again, these are known problems, nit so much bitchin.

Now if it was commin from sharky, then Yeah, I'd say it was just the old guy bitchin.

I remember that also mayfair, also my 07 seats seem alot better than my 06 Hemi's were. I didnt really hate the seats in the 06 per say, the 07 seems IMO to be alot morecomfy though.
