9 Passenger EX

Has anyone replaced the center console with a seat making the EX a 9 passenger. Seems I saw somewhere a company that makes a replacement seat that fits and I need more seating space.:

The 3-spot Super Duty bench seat with the fold-down center console is a direct replacement.

Will the center seat/console fit between the standard seats. I want to keep the arm rests.

i doubt it, the arm rests would be in the way of the console/seat going up and down, it completely fills the space between the seats...

Yes you can use the front center seat from an F250/f350 instead of the center console. Peter (aka Duck Fan) did it to his X. He spends most of his time over on the 7.3 forum so I am not sure he will chime in.

He did say he had to remove the arm rests in order for them to work. Most people have to cut the bolt off for the arm rest but he did say if you remove the seat covers you can then remove the bolts without having to cut it out.

Yep, did it.
You will need to remove the arm rests, and posts. Make sure you tape off the area well as you don't want to catch ant thing on fire when you grind away the posts.

Apperantly the ,11-12 model centre bench fit also. The added benefit of a high back and shoulder belt. I would Change mine in a heart beat if I could find one for a decent price.
