Seat replacement
I was wondering if anyone has ever swapped all three rows of seats from a GM (Tahoe, Suburban/Yukon) into an Excursion? I love the Ex, but the seats in my Avalanche were much more comfortable and had a lot more adjustment to them than the Ex does. I realize that it's likely not a simple bolt-in, but was just curious as to how much work it would be.

I've looked for them on Craigslist
People seem to want a small fortune for the Ford seats when they can be found. The GM seats seem to be cheaper and more plentiful around me. Is the seat structure any different in the Limited and Eddie Bauer than the cloth power seats that I currently have? If the structure is the same, then comparing the two, I found the GM seats to be more comfortable overall, especially for long drives.

F250 and Excursion Seat frame and cushions are the same other then heated vs no heated.
The only thing that changes between trim models is the cover.

That's what I thought
But, not being an expert, I wasn't sure if they may have put more padding in the upscale models than what was in the XLT. Thanks for the info.

Thanks
I'm kind of looking to spend a few hundred with my labor vice a few thousand. I'll probably end up with what I have. I was just trying to see if anyone had ever swapped in the GM seats since I seem to be able to find them for a lot less than the Ford seats and I know that they are comfortable from personal experience.
