I'm wondering if they'll have adjustable seat height, if they don't then we could figure out what seats swap in that have height adjustment and maybe some heat, I'm a bit spoiled by heated seats as I get older, not just when it's cold but for when I'm sore.

That is if the seats don't have airbags built in, that's always a sticking point on modern seat swaps. If they have airbags then can still add some heat pads.

I am kind of glad it seems like they're skewing taller, especially in a small truck. I'm 6' and my 94 Ranger single cab I barely fit in my younger slimmer form. My older girthy form fits ok in my 2000 Ranger single cab, as they made the cab a little bigger in 97, but not 'comfy'. Like when I get in my suv, it's comfy, roomy. In my Ranger I feel like the 6'5" guy looks, yeah you fit but...is it comfy?

That will be one of the real selling points for me, they already sold me on platform, but if I don't fit well it's tough to fix that. I'm a little tight in the Maverick too but they're squeezing a crew cab into an already small fit. Ford also says their new $30k ev truck that's coming will have more interior space than a Rav4, but I'm a tight fit in a Rav4 too.
