Is the LX seat any better? Should at least bolt on
Yea, but then they'd stop working...I wish they were Range Rover seats. That would be a dream.
We are so opposite. GX seats made me have neck and upper back pain..even headaches!! I had an MRI done just because of those damn seats! I am fine with LC seats.My former VP has back problems and put Recaros in on custom mounts. I sat in them and they were great. The seats the the main thing I miss about my GX. Great seats there, not so much in the 200. Too big/wide and not enough bolster support.
they leak oil first then they stop working.Yea, but then they'd stop working...
I have not had complaints so far, but I am not expecting to sit in a "Lazy Boy" recliner either.I had a 2002 Chevy Tahoe for like 13 years. The seats in that truck were really comfortable. They had a much larger lumbar support (poked into your back farther) and they even had "wings" in the seat back that would come out and help hug you to the seat more. Very comfortable.
Going to the LC, I had higher hopes for seat comfort. The lumbar doesn't come out as far, there are no wings. My right knee is resting on the start button panel. I find that to give myself more leg room, I have to move the seat all the way back, and then I have to sit very straight up to reach the wheel or center controls and that's just not comfortable. I'm not sure if there's much that can be done about any of this, especially since I'm 6'3" tall. I did discover that if I raise the thigh/leg support up far it takes a lot of pressure off my feet. I'm just getting used to it and it's going alright.
What year do you have? I hated the seats in my 08 and 14. Actually sold my 14 because my lower back was constantly aching after an hour in the truck. I was hesitant to buy another 200 because of it but my 2019 seats have caused zero issue and I’ve driven from TN to CO(one overnight), TN to MN(non-stop)a couple times now and had zero back issue. I don’t know if they added more padding but I’m pretty happy with them. However my entire back and abs have gotten a lot stronger over the last couple years from bodybuilding and this might have helped me immensely from having lower back pain. Either way, something changed.
I wish they were Range Rover seats. That would be a dream.
I also replaced my Sequoia with a LC200 and comfort is like night and day difference.I had the same experience going from my old Sequoia to my 2018 LC. Back was killing me after an hour in the Sequoia. I've done several (six, I think) 15-hour nonstop drives in the LC this past year and experienced no back problems.
Because with a good aftermarket shop, it can be remedied.Seat comfort comes up occasionally on this 200 forum, as well as other vehicle forums I participate in. I honestly have never understood why someone would buy any vehicle with seats they considered uncomfortable. Seat comfort is a VERY individual thing and to buy a vehicle with seats that don't fit or hurt and then complain about it seems very strange to me. I guess I'm just too practical, but seat comfort is near the top of my list for determining what to buy.
