    I have a 2015 DC. May be a silly question but can anyone tell me if the drivers seat Bottom is suppose to be different than the passenger seat bottom? The drivers seat bottom has two sewn panels and the passenger seat has three. Toward the back of the passenger seat is a narrow raised section that lines up with the back pretty much. I didn't notice till my wife pointed out that the drivers seat has a bit of sag in the Upholstery fabric. I am a little over weight, 6' 218 lbs but should not be heavy enough to stretch the fabric already on a one month old truck. Its going back to the dealer for that but anyway, as I was pushing the rippled up fabric toward the back of the seat when I got out my wife noticed the difference in the two seat bottoms. If you feel the back of the drivers seat bottom, it almost feels as though its missing this extra 3rd panel and the foam under it? That could explain the sag? Curious about others? Thanks

    Answered my own question Thanks

    Now I just have to get the Dealer to tighten up that bottom seat upholstery, or lose some weight Lol

    See the differences in seat cushion. Also the back side of the passenger seat is different than drivers as well. It has a hard plastic plate on it? Sorry about crappy drivers picture. Cheap Cell phone camera. I can take another better one but I think you can easily see what I'm referring to!

    That additional section on the passenger seat is there so that the seat can be folded flat. When folded the plastic back can be used as a little table or shelf.

    Thanks. That's understandable but I'm still at a loss on the seat cushion? Why different bottoms?

    I have never noticed a difference. I have a fold flat passenger seat also, but a 2012. I'll have to look at it when I next go out.
