The Ford Ranger got the same reports of low uncomfortable seats. Took me a while to break-in the hard padding.
I don't know why they have to jack up the truck so much. Most people don't go off roading with them.

That's what makes it a truck compared to a...Rav 4.

D'uh!
Been spending some time in the brother-in-laws F150 and the seats in that are plusher than my Highlander.
Just because it's a truck doesn't mean it has to be uncomfortable.
Now, the old 1980 GMC Sierra Grande converted dump truck I've been operating can be uncomfortable on a rut filled dirt road.

I was referring to your issue with trucks being "jacked up", not the
seats, You actually covered two concerns in your post. I should have
been more specific and, for that, I apologize.

Ford seats are notorious for breaking down on the outboard side,
causing you to end up leaning on the door. I chucked the seats in my
Econoline and bought a set of custom chairs that I took with me when I
swapped Econolines. The bench seat in my wife's F150 was OK after 2
decades but the ones in the Explorer went south in a few years. On
that one the top cushion is easily replaceable but, alas the part is
unobtainable. I swapped it with the passenger seat that goes largely
unused so at least you are leaning in instead of out. When my wife
gripes about it I can say "I just wanted you closer to me".

Maybe your left butt cheek is heavier than the other. I'd have them
checked if I were you.

Most folks say I don't really have an ass. (white man butt)
It is from getting in and out.

You're right. Most girls use them as a grocery getter.

And once again, you demonstrate your ability to retain the title of
Reigning Asshole of Wrecked Boats. The Ranger was a fine little
utilitarian truck, economical, reliable, and a good size for its
intended purposes.

The problem with the Tacoma these days is the size. Was a great sized
truck, until Toyota up sized both the Tundra and the Tacoma. The older
Tacoma was a fantastic around town, home use, small contractor truck.
