2015+ Tahoe LTZ Front bottom seats are too narrow and thin

[holsteinson]

I wonder how was the genius at Chevy that narrowed the wide and thickness of the bottom front seat in the Tahoe LTZ 2015+?? After driving more than one hour your butt is punished and you feel every cramped and plastic edges

Wow. I'm getting 16 city, and 22 Highway. With a high of 24 with cruise control and relatively level roads.

Ditto

Go back a few years and look at the Tahoe seats. Much bigger and more comfortable.

The newer ones have been cheapened up.

That is exactly what I get on my 2016 Tahoe with the front and rear A/C on.

Interesting. My mom complained about the seats being smaller. She has a 04 Tahoe Z71 and said they felt smaller. Must have some merit in the comment. I disagreed and said I dont think so. Now driving long distance I do fell as though it is smaller in size than even my 14 Z71 Tahoe.

Seat size

I traded in my 2005 Z71 for a 2015 and the first thing I noticed was that the seats seemed tighter in the seat cushion. Somewhere I read that they are actually narrower in the seat bottom than before.

I waited to buy a 2015 because they made the seats fold flatter and gave more rear cargo room.

Can't think of any reason GM would ruin a good design by making the seats narrower. Dimensions the same and plenty of room to leave the old comfortable seats.
