2023 E450 All Terrain Drivers seat tilted towards the door...

Howdy, just purchased a 2023 E450 All Terrain, I love the car...sold our Rivian for it and have always loved the German wagons.

I did immediately notice the right side of the steering wheel was significantly closer to my seating position/hand vs the left side. After measuring it looks to be about 1.25 inches closer. Im pretty sure its the seat and not the wheel itself, performed some searches and didnt find anything. Can anyone confirm this is normal/abnormal?

Thanks in advance!

Not normal. I would have your dealer check it out. And welcome to the AT club!

I second the “not normal” statement and would get it checked out. Maybe some minor adjustment somewhere, is a wild guess

If your seat is not positioned properly, it could indicate a fault in the mount, that could fail in an accident. So definitely run it down (dealer if necessary) to have it fixed.

MB’s of all kinds.
It’s new and under warranty. Have the dealer look at it. Also, sit in another E450 Wagon as well to show them that it is not normal.
