I have captains chairs in the second row. Does anyone know if I could install a bench seat there and if it would be plug and play or would I need some modifications done? Thanks, Dana.

 

I have swapped from backets to a bench. here is a thread I made about the differences: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/8...l-it-work.html

It should be easy for you on the '05 it will have all the bolt holes in place. You just need to find a matching bench seat and the center seatbelt

 

Watch out! Your going to be pounded with requests for your captain chairs.......

 

ill trade you my capstans chairs for my bench seat ... its tan/parchment...leather

 

Thank you for getting back to me. I make one long trip a year that I would need the bench in the second row for more cargo room in the back. Other than that, I love the captains in the second. I will try to find a bench. Thanks for all of your help.

 

Exactly what I was thinking. The reason it took me 3 months to buy my Excursion, and why I drove 240 miles to get it.

 

Laconia,

Where are you located? I have EXACTLY what your looking for. Let me know!

 

I have an '05 with Bench... that I'd love to swap for Captains.

However, I have the two-tone black/tan leather interior... unless I find matching captains chairs, it's not worth the work or what it'd take (another $1500) for new leather (matching) interior

 

IMHO....
Before you decide if you think you NEED to swap, be sure and try it out....

I THOUGHT I needed buckets and had them in my 1st 2 ex's, but the bench seems to function better and is much more comfortable (to me and mine )

Only benefit I saw in the buckets was the ability for the kids to pass through instead of climb over.... and kids LOVE to climb

YRMV !

 

I have ordered my captains chairs!!

Anyone need a 2nd row bench PLEASE let me know. Mine will be removed soon. No rips or tears or stains. Parchment in color.

Please let me know!!

 

I have a bench from a 2000 excursion with only 51,000 miles that is beige in color. I would love to trade for two bucket seats of the same color for the second row. Email Arniesexcavating@yahoo.com

 

I have 2 captains chairs from my 2002 Ford Excursion Limited, in tan leather, that I would like to trade for a 2nd row bench seat in the same tan leather. Any takers?
