Seat Position in '09 BlueTec
Had the truck for the last 2,000 miles love everything about it except I can't seem to find a comfortable seating position. I'm used to sitting low and tight in cars and higher up in trucks (Range Rover and Jeep). However; in this thing I feel like its impossible to find a position that is all around. At one moment I'm up higher and like the view and eventually over time the fact that I'm almost level with the rear view mirror starts to bother me. Then I lower it and tilt it forward because I look down at how I'm sitting and realize I look like I'm leaned back in a bucket seat. This may sound silly, but what have other ML owners done to find that best seating position?

I prefer to sit high, so I appreciate the power seat adjustment. However, I hate my view blocked by the rear view mirror. My '99 ML mirror was on a double swing joint that allowed me to position it high and out of the way. Some times new and improved isn't really the case.

I find if I sit high and straight I get a lot of side to side around bumps. If I drop it and sit more car like the ride is more comfortable, but the view is not quite as good.
It all depends what you like. Don't worry how you look, worry only how you feel.
