Did you test drive a LongHorn? If not IMHO the seat/driving comfort is awesome.
It wasn't so much the actual "Seat" that was uncomfortable it was the way the truck drove. Couple things that stood out: The powerband is different so take off/acceleration felt a bit softer, ride felt stiffer, EB seemed louder and didn't seem to slow the unladen vehicle as quickly or stay active as long (mind you i'm comparing a 4.3 to 4.1). Last year when I drove the 15 Ram it seemed a lot louder, i was surprised how much quieter it seemed the other day so that has moved down on my issues list. Interestingly the truck felt lower and had more visibility over the hood. Again these were my observations/opinions. It may differ from others experiences/opinions. Almost forgot the mirrors, Ford does make some good mirrors.
I agree the cummins feels anemic loaded and unloaded when compared to the Power Stroke that really pulls strong like no other.
Also I believe Ford didn't mess with the Super Duty platform is because it simply was and still is the best platform out there. The other big 2 have finally caught up and one has literally copied the Ford front suspension because of inherent problems.
BTW... This is coming from a long time GM fan.
