Sadly, on this pre-production vehicle, no vertical adjustment unless I missed it when looking.
I paid attention to this during the test drive event in DC: No seat height adjustment in the PRO model. Similarly the base F150 ICE does not have height adjustment either.

Quite honestly, this is disappointing - even in a base work truck, seats should be fully adjustable; otherwise the driver's seating position is compromised. This is a safety concern - it's great to have a lot of safety features as standard equipment, but safe driving starts with the driver being positioned correctly.

Ford should make base model seats adjustable!

Safety and streamlining production should be enough to only offer power driver’s seat.

Oh well, the wife will just pile on a bunch of blankets anyways, she don’t like hot seats in the summer. This Pro is for her (that’s my story and I’m sticking with it).?

Im 6'1" and it took about 4 months to get used to the seating position in a base xl.

How does it ride at default (low or high)? I never really considered this, just assumed if it wasn't electric , it would have a manual option to raise and lower.

It rides pretty high. Only adjustment is forward and back. And a lumbar knob.

As long as it is possible for someone who is 5’4” to see over the hood, then it works for me. In our minivan I usually leave the seat at the height that my wife sets it. I’ll just sit a bit higher.

With the 360 camera it may also matter less to see the hood as you can use the camera to park.

Did you notice if the backseat flip up like other F150s exposing a flat surface?

Did not check, also don’t think rear windows will have privacy tint or rear slider back cab window.

What is that below the steering column? One vehicle in the pictures had it, the other did not.

It's a shame they won't sell the Pro with extended Batt. Would have loved to have bought one.

I used to feel that way, but paperwork sent out earlier shows that the upgrade to ER on the Pro for Fleet customer is more than what they might be charging the XLT customers. $10k to upgrade a Pro SR to ER and $7,500-$8,000 for an XLT upgrade.

I'm buying a Pro now, for 2022, and upgrading to a nicer trim 4 years later.
