XLT Power seats: will they raise and how much?

[Patterson]

Just ordered a 2017 XLT Wagon SWB and am wondering if the driver and passenger seats will raise with the power seats. I know they will go back and forth and change the lumbar support. I prefer to sit up higher and so does my passenger and I'm concerned about how low people appear when you see them driving one of these.

I ordered the same one last Saturday and was told only the driver's seat is power. forward/back/up/down/seat bottom:tilt up or down.  A side lever controls the recline.

I'm looking into a decent fitting seat cushion to sit on to raise me and the passenger up. Plus it would be more comfortable as well. Anyone know of one that works well (fit, comfort, etc.)?

On our 14 SWB XLT, only the drivers seat is power.  It does raise and lower a good bit . . . . 2" maybe I would guess.  It's plenty enough IMO.  The lumbar support is in both seats, but it's not power  -  Just a lever on the inboard side of the seatback.  I think you'll probably like the power seat  -  Between it and the infinitely adjustable steering wheel, you can always find a comfortable driving position and you can change it all a bit on a long drive to find a new position when you've been sitting on one place too long
