What year would I take the seats out of an explorer to fit in my 2000 ext. cab ranger?

 

I believe you can use at least those from a '98-'01 and maybe even some other years.

That was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thanks! I think i'll be checking out the local salvage yards! I might even do the center consol!

 

Actually, I think 95-01 will work. Would be a worthwhile project. I'd like to swap mine with the leather seats from my girlfriends Explorer. No surprise she won't let me...

 

I just replaced the 60/40 Cloth in my '95 Ranger Ext. Cab with leather buckets out of a '99 Explorer Limited. I used my seat tracks bolted to the Explorer seats to simplify installation(I have manual seats and the Explorer's are power/heated). The Explorer tracks would not have worked in my truck because of the seat belt to floor mounting location. However, I got my out of a 4-door, the Sport models I think will work without problems.

I know you can use 1995-2001 Explorer and Mountaineer Seats, Sport Tracs should work too(my seats are the Sport Trac Type with the separate headrests). Older Explorers, Rangers, and Bronco II's might work as well, as long as you use your tracks.

Finding a console out of a Manual Tranny Explorer locally is proving difficult, though.

 

The rangers have the same center consoles as the manual explorers's did, just harder to find. Mine has one.
