I just couldn’t get on board with the blue so got the black leather seats.

I had a 2017 Raptor. There were no Recaros then. I was very spoiled by thigh support, adjustable, extendable thigh support found in many sports cars, M cars, AMG, etc.

Having traded a Porsche Macan Turbo with amazingly comfortable 18-way adjustable seats, including adjustable thigh support for the Raptor, I immediately missed that feature and found the seat cushion too short. It made the seat uncomfortable. I traded that Raptor for a Porsche Panamera within 10 months. I then bounced from a 911 to another 911 and added a 2018 Platinum which had massaging seats. Why that’s not available in the Raptor is dumb.

When the Recaros were announced, I immediately called a dealer about 100 miles away in NJ who had one of the few on lot with them. I got a salesman on the phone, really nice guy named Lenny. I said Lenny, you got a tape measure? He said I’ll get one. I said good. Go measure the seat cushion on a Raptor with and without Recaros. If the Recaro seat cushion is longer, I’ll be there today to buy it. He called me back within a few minutes and said The Recaro seat cushion is 3/4 to 1 inch longer. I bought my 19 Raptor that day and drove it home. They are much more comfortable. As for the blue Alcantara, it’s ok, not my favorite, wish it came in all leather, but comfort trumps looks all day in my book.

Appreciate your comments. I've got a 2016 Macan Turbo and I agree that the seats are fantastic. Trying to close a deal on a 2020 with Recaros as we speak.
