2005 King Ranch interior

I hate the leather seats in my King Ranch 2005 F250. I am looking at finding someone with a cloth interior to trade out but not sure what years will be an exact swap. Mine has the 2 heated power leather bucket seats in the front and 2 bucket seats in the rear with consoles between them front and rear. I only want the bench seat in the rear and either buckets or bench in the front but just don't know what years will work without a lot of trouble.

Before you just trade straight across, you might want to google the cost of those KR seats. Anyone who wants to trade should offer some cash.

I agree with Bill. Also, if I were you, I would consider looking at just buying some replacement seats and keeping the KR seats stored away. If and / or when you decide to sell or trade the truck, you'll likely take a pretty big hit in trade-in / selling value on a KR truck with cloth seats since it wasn't that way originally.

Smile seats

Thanks for the offer Robby but my interior is tan so grey would not work. And Bpounds, I know the KR seats are expensive but have not found any complete interiors in great condition to buy so figure if I could trade I will. When I do the one I trade for must be excellent and in my color. I looked on ebay and no complete sets for sell but the KR front power heated seats are listed for $2000. Crazy. Now that I know what will fit maybe I can find what I am looking for. Thanks guys.

Yea all this is true just do plenty of research. But if most people are like me and like the King Ranch interior you should have no troubles trading with the color you want. Good luck

Is it that you don't like the leather? Or do you just find those particular seats uncomfortable?

seats

Bdox, both. The leather is so stiff and makes the seats uncomfortable. It is not like the leather in my cadillac, soft and comfortable. I travel a lot in my truck and had a 2003 F250 that had Velour cloth seats, front bench and rear bench and they were very comfortable for long trips. Love the truck but hate the interior.

Jim, what you might consider is trading your '03 interior with someone who has a '08-'10 or an '11-'12 KR interior. The KR interior in the older trucks was very heavy stiff saddle leather. After '07 the KR leather has gotten thinner and more supple, and less like a saddle. In a word, the KR seats have gotten cheaper. I'll bet someone with the new cheap leather would like to have the older stuff, particularly if they had owned older KR trucks. Check out a new KR on the lot somewhere and you'll see what I mean.

I know that might be a long shot, but if you find the right person it could happen.

Help with seats

I have a 2005 King Ranch four door and absolutely hate the saddle leather seats. I want to put in some cloth seats and need some help on what will fit. I can get a complete set, front and rear from a 2009 F150, will they fit?? Would appreciate any advice I can get.

I've merged your most recent post / thread into your original thread about your seats.

On another note, the F-150 seats won't be a direct bolt-in. You may be able to modify the brackets to work but it won't be easy. The seats themselves will fit dimensionally but plan on having some brackets fabbed up or modifying your Super Duty seat brackets modified to accept the F-150 seats.
