I owned a 1995 Nissan Pickup for 11 years and put 320K miles on it.  And quite a bit of that 320 was fairly rough at times.  I did have to replace the tranny on it, and naturally went through two timing chains.  But that was it !  Dang thing still runs good, although its falling apart here and there.  I just sold it to a friend and we might watch hit 400k or beyond.

So I decided to take the plunge on a new truck, and what vehicle to you think that I bought.  Duh, I would be rat if I decided to change brands after all of the service the old Pickup gave me.  I got a 2007 NISMO 4x4.

Anyway, sorry to now finally get to my issue.  I have a bad back and the seats on the old truck fit my back perfectly.  I have only driven the new one for a day, and I have to say the seats hurt my back.  This was something that I could not tell in the test drive since that lasted only 10 minutes.  I am hoping that it may have just been an extra stressfull day that did it and that it was not the seats.  But I think it really mite be the seats.  I could be doomed.  Seats are maybe the single most important thing to me, cuz of my disc problems.  I might have just paid 23k for a truck I can't use.  Any suggestions or words of wisdom on this?

Welcome to the group!

... Due to a back problem I reshaped the seatback in my '99 Frontier. I pulled the seat cover up 3/4 ths of the way from the bottom, while still mounted in the truck then with a very large very sharp bowie knife removed some of the foam. Now it is comfy and the wife even likes it.

Hmm.  At least that would be an option if I can't find something else to do.  Yesterday was fine but I only drove for and hour.  I might be OK, plus I just found some extra adjustments to make which I will try if needed. thanks for your reply.  I will have a couple other questions relating to truck over the next few days.
