Nope...on my 06 4.4...it appears on the MSRP sticker as an option in the premium pkg:

No, I have it in my 4.4. It was an option in 3.0 as well.

Clockwork,
I see you have 2005 MY......as do I......not sure why your premium package would be modified or different..........are your sure?

By that I mean....the switch to adjust the seat backs are not neccesarily in an obvious location........think over shoulder when in rear seat.

You must Mike I have power recline on my 3.0 as well

My 03 3.0 has them. My switches are up by the dome light and by the rear gate.

The rear electric seat switches and rear reading lamps are located in the middle of the headliner PRIOR to the panoramic sunroof.

When the pano sunroof debuted...the rear electric seat switches where moved to the C pillar (and redundant switches are in the same place on each side of the cargo bay when tail gate is lifted) and the rear reading lamps were also moved over to the side of the headliner above the rear windows. All due to the impossibility of mounting switches and lights to a moving glass panel.

I'm 6'2" and 200lbs.. did a road trip to the rockies with 5 passengers and ended up in the back seat. It is really uncomfortable if you have 2 people my size and any person larger than a child. The trip was 6 hours... not in a rush to do it again.

I knew from the moment I sat in the x5 it was not as comfortable as my a4. The x5 rear seats are hard and have no type of cushion and my a4 backseat was so comfortable I use to make my wife drive me while I sat in the back like a chauffeur and cuz we had a newborn. My In laws have a base model mdx and a fx35 and the x5 seats don't even compare. Even my old 92 integra leather seats were more comfortable

Generally the chauffeur is in the front driving. Must be a Texas thing.

I could ask the same question-- how did you know the X5 was not as comfortable when you didn't remember what the A4 backseat was like but I won't.

I understand you don't like the X5 backseat. That doesn't you are right and those that disagree are wrong. Lots of folks like a firm rounded seat in tight black leather.
