Driver's Seat

I've noticed in the past year of ownership, that my seat with respect to bolsters on the bench portion, the left side which my leg rests on is wrinkled and worn out. Yet the right side where my leg is usally on the accelrator pedal is not worn out at all and just like new. Whats the deal? Is this normal?

It's from getting in & out of the car.
The left side takes a lot of abuse....
you can modify your entry technique to minimize this

Clean and condition the leather with Zaino Z9 and Z10 regularly and you'll minimize that damage.

I'm 5'10, 158 and I my drivers seat has wrinkles in it. I think that's something you have to deal with.

That happens to everyone, on any car.
Before the G, I had an Explorer (bought new). After 2 years of owning it, the seat got pretty bad, I took it in to the dealer and had them replace the seat for me UNDER WARRANTY. I thought it was pretty nice of them. I argued that the wear was excessive. They probably just agreed to do it so they could make the money from Ford, since the dealerships still get paid to do warranty repairs.
