I had surgery on a herniated disc last year. Still have some issues, mostly when I drive. It is guaranteed that my back will hurt anytime I drive my truck, 2005 Ram 2500. It is my daily driver. 191k miles. I replaced the seat cushion last year, helped some, but didn't solve it. Wife drove the truck last week and she complained about the seat too.

I've seen on the interwebs it is an easy swap to put 4th gen seats in a 3rd gen. I haven't sat in a 4th gen. Are the 4th gen seats that much more comfortable? Is it worth the time and money to swap?
 
It's easier to just buy a new truck.

( I have no knowledge of the swap, just trying to help you justify a new truck ;) )
 
Could just swap in a Corbeau or MasterCraft. Neither gen seats really strike me as comfy.

X2 or a Chevy seat. They seem to be the most plush.
 
I have had a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gen all of which I have put over 250k on the clock or more and I honestly have to say (for me) the 2nd gen were the most comfortable. I know this doesn't help but just my .02 I will say that my 3rd and 4th gen were only SLT and not Laramie so maybe I have missed out...
