    Just traded a 2016 Ram 2500 in for a '21 4dr Taco with 33K, I don't go off road pulling a 25R Arctic Fox in the snow much anymore. Butttt, I do need advice, the driver seat is horrible, my back is full of titanium rods n screws, there has to be a better seat out there (maybe power?).
    I heard there's an airbag sensor...is there an any easy fix? I still go off road to volunteer as part of a emergency communications team...thanks in advance!

    Other models started coming with power seats in 2020. I'm assuming you don't like the seating position. I've heard seat jackers can help this. They go under the factory mounting points and lift the seat up for you.

    From someone who also suffers from major back issues, the power seats aren't much of an improvement but they do help a little.
    Adding the front seat jackers helped relieve some tailbone pressure due to the angle change but the lumbar and thoracic support is truly lacking in curvature and density. Getting a lumbar pillow would alleviate this a bit but I know it's not ideal. I've considered something along the lines of Recaro comfort seats which are a full replacement but have not done any research.
