- The mechanism lifts the back half of the seat bottom 3.5 inches to make a flat surface to support the lower back.
- The upper seatback can also be moved forward for neck support.
- Ford’s all-new seats have been awarded five patents tied to the novel design and assembly process.
As mentioned by Mr Kulhawik in the Press release, In Ford F-150 Front seats, “There are no additional motors in these seats – just a simple mechanism that relies on the customer moving the seatback using the power recline function,”. “It’s simple, it’s effective, and we believe our customers will love how much more productive they can be just by getting a little more rest during downtime.”
