Kind of surprised -- seems to be no power adjustable seat?
How comfortable/adjustable is the standard seat?

No power seats. It's a vehicle designed with the idea that water can, and will, enter the cabin. It is the same reason there aren't cooled seats.

I find the seats comfortable, easy to adjust, and more than adequate for the application. I've never gotten in and felt a loss at not having power.

Seats are very comfy. Armrest in rear middle seat only available on Overland and Rubicon trims with leather surface. No power seats.

I don't see it as a problem. How ofter do you use the power seats in the vehicle you currently have?

I just put 3100 miles on mine in the last 7 days with some off roading in Ouray Co and Moab Ut and was comfortable the whole time. I could drive mine all day everyday. I have a 2017 Ram 3500 Limited and find the Gladiator seats far more comfortable that it has. Not as roomy by far. But way more comfy.

Thanks. For my current vehicle, I use the power seats all the time -- my wife and I drive it, and we have drastically different settings.
For the Jeep, probably MOSTLY me driving so I guess not an issue. Makes sense about expecting it to be wet, so no electronics -- never thought of it that way! Thanks for your help folks!

Actually more comfortable than the power seats I had in my chevy. I like these seats. My wife loves the way you pull the strap to set the "recline" of the back. I could drive this truck for hours.
Yeah, for my Chevy we did use 1 and 2 for the seat and mirror settings. But I love how these work and how they sit. We'll get by. I'll likely be the majority driver anyway, she can always use my '04 WJ if she wants to let her '18 Grand Cherokee sit and gather cob webs. No seat memory with my WJ either but hey, we share stuff. It's a minor inconvenience. I grew up and learned to drive - and for my first years of driving. had no power anything save for engine power. Standard steering, standard non-power drum brakes, no AC, no power seats........... you get the scene.
I can't get over how comfortable these seats are.............

Yeah I was surprised when I first went to test drive (and ultimately pick up) my Rubicon...I thought the dealer tricked me into coming down to check it out to attempt to sell me on a rig without all features I expected (like power seats). It’s one small loss of convenience but you get used to it, especially if you’re the only driver. It’s like the only analog/retro feature about the Jeep though! I traded up from a Jeep GC SRT and these seats are just as comfortable.

I think the manual up/down driver seat is pretty cool vs power. Manual 6 way adjustable seats it's just unique. I wish the passenger seat was adjustable for height too. The seats themselves are great I have the cloth Rubicon ones.

Multiple way adjustable power seats in other vehicles: so many settings, so confused.

Jeep JT seat, all the way down, set lead length, change the recline angle a little while on the move for comfort, so happy.
