SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:HEAD RESTRAINT
REAR SEATS HAVE NO HEAD RESTS. THE GLASS FOR THE REAR WINDOW IS ONLY INCHES FROM THE BACK OF A PERSONS HEAD. SINCE CUSTOMERS PURCHASE THESE FOUR DOOR PICKUPS TO CARRY MORE THAN TWO PEOPLE, THE CHANCE OF SOMEONE STRIKING THERE HEAD ON THE GLASS SEEMS BE MORE LIKELY THAN IN EXTENDED CAB PICKUPS. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT FORD IS NOW PUTTING IN REAR SEATS WITH HEAD RESTS. WHAT ABOUT UPDATING THOSE W/OUT THEM?*AK
