Default Seat Adjustment help?

I have referenced the advice on this site several times and decided to join! I have recently purchased a new truck and the seat seems to sit kind of low...my wife is very short and has a tough time seeing over the stear wheel. Im 6'2 and i think it seems a little low too. Unfortunately there does not seem to be an adjustment for seat height. Does anyone know of any aftermarket products that we can checkout. The truck is a 2011 3.7 l v6 super cab 4x4 stx.
Thanks for the help!

Field, I don't know of an aftermarket product. My best thought is check with the dealer, the last thing you want is to weaken the structure of the seat mounts. It is strange, my wife is also vertically challenged. She doesn't have any problems with the passenger seat. Mine has a power drivers seat. Wait, now that I've said power drivers seat. This may be an option. Maybe. Good luck, and welcome to the forum.

Get a power seat, they sit higher even on their lowest setting.

My 85 year old mother who is maybe 5' these days can adjust the seat to her liking and drive my Lariat.

Oddly, enough many of us want our seats lower so that the armrests can take more of our weight off of our backs.

That said, you could install spacers under the seat frame thereby jacking the seat up relative to steering wheel, dash and everything else.

I would not expect a dealer to be willing to do this.
