No, check for a blockage in the seat track. You have one power source for all seat functions. If it works one way but not the others it is either a bad switch, or bad motor, or a blockage.
there should only be 4 bolts holding the seat, make sure to diconnect any wire connectors if you have power seats. click to see how to do it,

Of course they do not have to buy the seat. You can remove the seat and some tracks bolt to the bottom which you can replace with a good used one for less than half the $$$ .
The power seat in the truck has 3 motors, one of them is not working, the most common cause of this is the power seat switch is defective, it is often the forward and reverse seat positioning switch that fails because it is the one that is most used. If the switch checks ok then you will need to replace the the power seat track assembly, Ford does not sell any parts for the track, it is only available as one complete unit, I know this because i retired form a Ford dealer. Please rate my help for Fixya. Thanks
No the adjusters for power seat are made from some steel and a lot of aluminum parts. Replacing the seat tracks are your only option to be safe for they are riveted together
Unplug the seat belt warning plug, under the seat. You'll need to remove the right side seat track cover, it has 2 plastic inserts holding it down, push the little pin thru the insert. On the other side, at the end of the track, remove the black seat stop. Then at the front of the seat, on the bottom, in the center of the seat, there is a small seat track, at the front of the bracket, you will a screw and a 10mm nut. Remove them, lift up the seat lever (like you were going to move the seat up or back) and slide the seat back until the seat is out of the tracks.
Remove the seat assembly turn it upside down cables come off the handle you pull on to slide seat, Follow these cables to 2 pawls that pivot on tracks and see if they are broken,bent,or just stuck and need cleaned and lubed.If you need new track slider assembly I use to be able to get them all the time from GM parts department and just replace tracks themselves.
Go under the seat and check both slide tracks for anything jamming it up...I've removed gloves, socks, candy boxes etc from tracks. Also if its not a power seat, check that when you move the release lever it is connected by a stiff wire to the opposite side. That wire releases the right side track. If broken or stretched, it wont.
