Maybe a stupid question, but do the headrests in the Raptor adjust? I can’t figure it out and find it hard to believe that they don’t!

Just checked mine and I'm pretty sure they only go up & down.
I haven't seen the need to adjust them forward or back since they seem pretty comfortable in the default position.

Just did a google search and apparently it's now a safety regulation to prevent whiplash.

They do raise up and down. They are just a little stiff. Use some force and pull up on them. There is a release button to lower them back down

Head restraints have been mandated since 1969.
No requirement to be adjustable, but there are height minimum and maximums.

I had a 67 Stang GT 2+2 Fastback with the 390. It looked like the one Steve McQueen drove in the movie Bullitt but mine was black. Loved that car and in its time is was truly badass.

Recently had a Rapid Red 2022 Mustang GT California Special and it would run circles around the old 67 and was way safer and although I loved that car it didn't quite have the cool factor the old 67 had for the era it was produced in.

If you attend the Raptor Assault School and have to wear a helmet, you will wish for ability to adjust.

I read the reviews on the assault school and decided it wasn't even worth it.
