Swapping Seats

I'm wanting to swap a manual seat in my 2003 f250 with a electric seat, I guess my question is, is that possible? What does it entail?

The controls and motors are part of the seat mechanism. You just have to make sure the mounts are in the same location.
Then there is the issue of getting power to the plugs. That is going to be only real challenge.

You're a kent state fan? I played for Northern Illinois!

But I thought the XLT model came with the wiring but the electric seat was just an option?

If the wire harness is there its an easy swap.
