So I have a question for you NNBS Tahoe owners. Am I the only one that thinks the seats are extremely uncomfortable?
I have an 03 Tahoe and an 05 Silverado both with leather and I think the seats are very comfortable. My dad has complained about the seats in my moms 07 Tahoe since the day he bought it. I have only driven my moms Tahoe short distances and rode in the back (back seats are uncomfortable but I think most back seats are). This Saturday I borrowed my moms Tahoe and drove 6 hours (The Power steering went out in my 03 which I fixed on Sunday), and I was in so much pain. I tried adjusting everything but nothing worked.

The Tahoe has the Z71 package with the 2 tone seats. Do you think that has anything to do with it?

I am a member of the GM inside news forum, and I have read post from quite a few people saying that they hope GM puts better seats in next generation Tahoes, Suburbans, and trucks.

So does anyone else think there Tahoe seats are uncomfortable?

Right now I don’t want to get a NNBS Tahoe just because of my experiences with my Moms 07.

Yeah the tahoe seats are pretty firm ... which is actually okay for me cause it helps my bad back, but on long drives I do get sore.

The esky/denali seats have more ass plush.

No problems here, either. With all of the adjustability, I can't see not getting them comfortable.

Was the lumbar pushed way out or something?

No issues here for either me or my wife. We take a few long trips (+10 hour drives) a year. Although I agree the NBS has more lazy boy type chairs - plush.

I think mine are pretty comfortable. I've thought the opposite actually and raved about them to some people.

Well I may have to bump up to a Denali ore Escalade then. Im sure my wife would not mind lol

I adjusted it a bunch of times trying to get it right. Mainly my legs and butt were sore

I wonder if the cloth seats are any better?

I absolutely love mine. Totally comfortable on long hauls. I do know the feeling though, one of my previous vehicles was torture to me, but most seemed to like it. Some seats just work better for different shapes I guess.

I've had the NBS and NNBS Tahoe and I agree the NBS Tahoe seats are wayyy more comfortable. The NNBS Tahoe seats are really firm and aren't as wide. My escalade leather seats are a world of difference though... They kill the standard leather seats that comes on the 07+ Tahoe's. It uses nuance leather and are a lot softer.

I have to go look at this again. I have ridden in and driven my neighbors Esky and his Denali. They felt just like my hoe. They are all comfy to me.

Maybe your butt is more sensitive than mine?
