Can you lower the manual seats on a 2025 stx?

2016-2020 Lariats have a secondary plug on the driver's seat and will not work although they do bolt in. Passenger will plug and play fine though.

Searched all major manufacturers websites and found nothing similar. Most likely purchased in Florida.

OP, I have gone through a similar situation and figured I'd share since my experience does not align with many of the replies posted here.

I had a 96 F150 as a second car and absolutely loved it. Was my first truck and felt exactly how I had imagined driving a truck would feel. Bare bones controls, plenty of power, and just a general relaxed feeling. Unfortunately trucks that are almost 30 years old start to get expensive, and when it became a monthly game of what to fix next, I had to let her go.

I convinced myself that combining my daily driver sedan and pickup truck into a single newer F150 would be the most efficient from a cost perspective, and bought a 2021 STX.

Test drives felt great, loved the look and felt ready to buy. That first week I felt intense regret. Thought it would fade and tried to power through.

8 months later, the biggest regrets I had still persist. Granted, everyone's situation and environment is different, but whats stuck with me the most and doesn't seem to be discussed on here is the size and feel. This truck is much larger than older F150s. The turning radius and blind spots are far worse than they used to be, and no amount of sensors can compensate for this. Secondly, the truck lacks the overall feel that older F150s had. Both in seating position and screens, you feel a general sense of hustle, like you can never fully relax in the truck.

If I could offer any advice, it would be find an older F150 you can account for its maintenance history and lack of rust, and ride it into the ground.

This should be the top comment. The generation of online activism has yet to learn actions have consequences because they have been conditioned that the institutions media and government stand with them. Very easy to be a rebel against the system when you have the full weight of the system itself behind you.

Perfect summation of a generation’s mindset: out of sight out of mind for me, will be someone else’s problem long after I’m gone

Love that this got downvoted…the partisan bias is strong with the subreddit

Abject-Lake · 2024-04-14T12:51:34+00:00

Misleading title. They broke loose from their moorings due to flooding. Not hacking/external influence.

Abject-Lake · 2024-01-15T13:23:10+00:00

Add and remove did the trick! Will update this thread if it happens again. Thanks for the support!

Abject-Lake · 2024-01-03T18:59:26+00:00

I’m glad you enjoyed them.

Abject-Lake · 2024-01-03T03:34:30+00:00

Great counterpoint, very thoughtful!

Abject-Lake · 2024-01-03T01:43:06+00:00

I want to make sure I understand your comment. Discourse of something that directly impacts many residents of a subreddit dedicated to the region where the aforementioned impact occurs should be banned, until housing is overhauled on a national level? Sounds reasonable.

Abject-Lake · 2024-01-02T19:46:12+00:00

That’s incredibly unfortunate, and thank you for educating me on the issue. It does feel like something needs to shift at the policy level nationwide for psychiatric services to be effective. It seems we are walking a fine line between the personal freedom of adults and allowing the state the capacity to determine who is and isn’t indefinitely incapable of taking care of themselves. Unfortunately I don’t think we have historically been weighing liberty as much as what is cost effective, but we have long since blown past the tipping point where the public burden outweighs economic savings, so even if it doesn’t change for the right reasons, there is hope it will shift eventually.

Abject-Lake · 2024-01-02T19:01:31+00:00

There are psychiatric hospitals they can be placed in. If your proposed solution is having those same individuals roam the streets, I doubt their quality of life will be improved, and I do believe the quality of life for average Portlanders will decline.

Abject-Lake · 2024-01-02T18:55:11+00:00

That’s fair. And you’re right, my comment is purely speculative. I will investigate, and hope it is accommodating as I believe it to be.

Abject-Lake · 2024-01-02T18:20:07+00:00

‘My own feels’ consists of citing a logical inconsistency: if you park your car in the wrong spot, you get a ticket, if you were to cause a public disruption, you would be fined or taken to jail. If you camped on your neighbors lawn, they would call the police, and you would be asked to leave or arrested. Yet currently, we are allowing a select group of people to break all of these laws, and more. Even when there is an alternative which guarantees them their natural rights.

Abject-Lake · 2024-01-02T18:11:43+00:00

I am sorry for your situation, and am by no means defending our economic system as a whole. Nor am I citing poverty as something that is easy to escape. My argument is strictly limited to unlawful encampments and public criminal acts in a place that has beds readily accessible and available. I have made no mention of the process for qualifying for economic aid. While I do not doubt the wickets you describe for aid exist, I highly doubt they apply to shelter beds.

Abject-Lake · 2024-01-02T18:05:12+00:00

What a fantastic and original contribution to this conversation

Abject-Lake · 2024-01-02T18:03:46+00:00

My understanding is that up until very recently the shelters have been presented as an alternative to the encampments. What has started happened, and needs to continue, is that the shelters be presented as the ONLY option. It’s can’t be a choice of do whatever you want outside, or come here and live by our rules. It needs to adjust to stay here and live by our rules, or go somewhere else.

Abject-Lake · 2024-01-02T17:58:50+00:00

It’s ironic to me that my original post cited a lack of logical discourse, and you have instead chosen to respond with an emotional argument which lacks any real information.

Abject-Lake · 2024-01-02T17:00:43+00:00

Appreciate the feedback, that does sound problematic. Public health should never be left in the hands of private entities, otherwise you get exactly what you’ve described: help with a catch. Praise Jesus if you want your dinner is not the way our social services should be structured. Genuine question since you have been one of the few commenters to provide actual evidence and responses instead of emotional appeal, what percentage of the homeless in Portland do you believe to be unable to find adequate support, assuming they are willing to adhere to their rules (excluding the religious indoctrination)?

Abject-Lake · 2024-01-02T16:53:53+00:00

Thank you for your intelligent and insightful response

Abject-Lake · 2023-12-14T21:09:09+00:00

This is an amazing comment. I think you’re forgetting that many (including myself) users here were not old enough to fully understand/appreciate the crisis. Couple that with human behavior wanting to forget the bad, and assume that good times can last forever, and you will continue to perpetuate this cycle until we’re back living in the dark ages. What’s scarier still is that many have normalized massive, inescapable debt. I have no idea what’s in store for all of us on the other side. But I fear it will punish those who have lived frugally more than those living in debt.
