Tradesman seats?

I just purchased a 2020 Tradesman CC and was wondering about the seats as well. Happily they have been super comfortable for me. I am a wide body, 6'6" / 300 lbs. So I like my room! Lol
 
Just hit 18,000 miles and am very happy with the seats. Nice and comfy. Zero complaints!

There are Tradesman seats with lumbar support, but I can’t see them on the build options. Check out this pic from a Carmax vehicle. I’ve been thinking about trying to find the plastic outer panel and disassemble the seat to add lumbar. Might need toget A new back frame and some wiring though. Not sure that a add-on lumbar pad wouldn’t be a better use of money.
 
I’ve had my truck for a year now, I have the cloth seats in the tradesman, comfy as anything I’ve ever had , certainly better than my 3rd gen seats.

I am coming up on one year and surprised how comfortable the Trademan seats are. I had to get the bottom drivers seat replaced because a spring went bad but the dealer gave me no problems. All is good since.
 
My 2013 2500 Tradesman had cloth seats. At 125k they were still remarkable and showed little signs of sagging from my 300 pounds. Several 500-600 days sitting in them. And one 1000 mile day (tight schedule!).

My 2020 3500 Tradesman has cloth seats, with aftermarket covers. Mostly to protect the stock seats. But also to add some red color to the interior. I expect the same durability asthe 2500. I hope I am correct.
 
Cloth seats were one of our 'must haves' since the wife spends a lot of time in her riding breeches ..the lvl2 seats are extremely comfortable, even after a 600ish mile road trip.
 
Here's my 2 cents after owning one for several weeks. I just traded my Big Horn for a Tradesman. I have chronic lower back pain/issues and when I got my BIg Horn I wanted the power seat feature for that reason. For some reason I faught to get my power seat set in the correct position. Once it was set I never touched it...unless my wife drove. Even then it was just a matter of setting it back the vertical adjustment. Anyway, I was concerned with this when looking at a Tradesman. Took it for a test drive and no issues. Felt better right off the bat than my BIg Horn did. Maybe cuz there are only minimal adjustments. Drove it 1,000 miles towing and the seat felt great! No issues! Very pleased. I do however have the vinyl seats which may seem like a downgrade, but these seats are just right for me. Use the truck as my daily and still no issues.

I'm trying to decide between a Tradesman or Big Horn and had a question about the seats in a 2019 Tradesman. I've sat in both and know the Tradesman doesn't have the power seat(Or lumbar?) so I was wondering from people that have owned their trucks and driven on long trips how comfortable are the Tradesman Level 2 package seats are?

The Tradesman has everything I want except maybe the better drivers seat so I hate to spend more for a Big Horn if I do not need to.

Thanks in advance.

The "premium" cloth seats in my 2020. 3500 are the worst I have ever sat in, even with power seats no adjustment seems to help, wish I had the ones out of the 2013 I traded in.

I purchased the Tradesman, this is my 3rd one and by far the most comfortable! Even the wife comments on how much more comfortable this truck is compared to my other two. I am 5'6" and 175 and it seems to fit me just perfect. The last one I had I had to put a lift kit on the front seat to make it comfortable LOL.

Like you, I'm 5'6" and 175 with no issues with the seats. Was a concern that I would need the lift capability in the seat, like my old 1500, but didn't need it in this truck. Would like a telescoping wheel though.
 
I am 6'7" and over 300 pounds. My 2013 Tradesman had 125 miles on it and the Tradesman clothe seats were fine. Commuted 130 miles a day then.

Just completed a trip to/from Florida in the 2020 RAM 3500 Tradesman. Rode the 450 miles down in one day. Wife and I were comfortable. no seat issues.

I prefer a Tradesman trim.
 
10k miles with my tradesman level 2 and I love the seats. My prior two trucks were a king ranch and a z71 and these are more comfortable than both in my opinion. Sure, the king ranch were heated and cooled but they weren’t as comfortable to me.
 
I really enjoy my seats wish i had heated but nothing i cant fix, im 6’2” 250lbs and the seat feels like the perfect size not to big not to small and really comfortable i can go 7 hrs without needing to stop and stretch
