I'm not, and it's there's no mention to a backyard modification in that entire thread. This is what I wanted to point out to you because clearly there is no LATCH seat available...
from post#3:
My 2007 LATCH manual says the following.
02-05 Exursion
2nd Row Center : Tether anchor on back of seat on rear leg
2nd Row Outboard : Tether anchor on back of seat on reat leg
3rd Row Center : NONE
3rd Row Outboard : Right hand seat (1) TA near end of seat cushion back frame.
Notes : For manufacturing ease, some 2nd row seating positions are fitted with (2) tether anchors. Either can be used.
Attach 3rd row trther hook opening facing downward.
As you can see according to this you should have Tether Anchors. You do not have Lower Anchors and they cannot be retrofitted. Sorry it was not better news, but maybe this helps.
It says to tether the top anchor on the leg because clearly the gorilla hooks that hold the seats to the body aren't letting go.
I'm simply trying to enlighten you to the option the LATCH manual states for the Excursion. And as even LATCH states...it's not safer than using the seatbelt. That was my point in that statement.

Tinman. I read that article, didn't notice any help on how to add Latch. I really appreciate you taking the time to do a search and look for something to help a complete stranger. But unless its made by Ford I'm not that interested.
I don't want to put the lives of my children behind some backyard modification just to make it easier on putting a chair in and out fast. I'll take my time to install the seat properly, if I'm late to something then oh well. Heck, the whole reason I buy big American trucks is for my kids.
Enough of my rant, appreciate the kind welcomes and advice

Good plan, You only install the seats once. Take your time do it right and everything will be perfectly safe. Latch only makes it easier to get a good install it doesn't improve the safety of the seat.
