Excursion vs Super Duty Interior

Excursion vs Super Duty Interior
Hi-
I've never seen an Ex up close, and can't seem to find a few specific pictures of the interior that might answer my question. I did a search tonight on the forum but didn't come across a clear answer. So I thought I'd post to the Ex forum and perhaps the experts here could help. Thanks in advance.
I have a 2000 F-350 XLT SD CC LB DRW. Like my truck, but the interior is kinda crap. Cloth seats, manual everything ('cept windows) and I don't really like the bench front either. So I'd like to upgrade to a better interior. I've been looking for about 6-8 months now for something suitable, to no avail. However I saw a couple of Exs on craigslist that were going for reasonable prices. I was thinking of swapping the interiors, but I noticed that the rear door isn't shaped the same as on a SD. So I'm guessing that the interior door panel isn't either. From my search in the Ex forum tonight I stitched enough information together to come to the rough conclusion that the two are the same from the front seats forward, but after that not so much.
So. Is that correct? Or could you do an interior swap to get the electric seats, etc.?
Thanks!

From what I know, the passenger door on the EX is bigger-wider than the SD. The rear door panels of the SD and EX do not match up, though they can be made to The front seats and front door panels should be a match, if I am correct. Power seat option will need additional wiring for the XLT.

I'm guessing that you don't have power under the front row.

Ok thank y'all, I appreciate the help. There is a loom sticking out under the front seat IIRC but I'd need to look to verify cause I don't remember for certain at the moment. As a hobby electronics guy (not so much after my son was born, but...) I'm not concerned with whatever wiring needs to be done. Just give me a diagram and I'll be ok usually. It's access restrictions that I find frustrating when doing wiring projects in my vehicles (obvious). But I digress.
All that said, it's kinda moot because the interiors are not fully compatible. At least in regard to the first two rows that is. Oh well, it was a thought. Back to the hunt for a 250/350/450 interior. I'm gonna need patience and luck. And lots of it.😆
Thanks again,
Jerry

Power seats
fordboy, not to hijack the thread, but where did you find the pigtail for the passenger side seat? My Ex came with a manual bench seat in the front and I swapped in some buckets. I searched all over the passenger side (without pulling up the carpet) and never could find a pigtail for the passenger seat. The drivers side plugged right in.

Based on my experience on my explorer, the seats with memory (driver's) used a different motor set, with some hall-effect sensors to communicate with the memory module.
Some wiring-harness hacking can be done to make a stand-alone power heated seat that only needs power supplied to it... or find a non-memory power heated seat.

To make a memory seat into a non-memory seat for the explorer, I needed the switch harness out of a passenger seat, then de-pin it and flip the leads for each function within that pair. On the explorer, there's a red and yellow pair for each function, marked with a White, Blue, or green trace, so that R/W and Y/W need to be flipped.
For the excursion, you could probably get by with the wiring harness out of a power/heated/no-memory and switching it over. The key though is that the Exc seat uses the heated seat module on the seat, not controls the heater through the EATC module. Those seats can be converted to a stand-alone unit that simply needs an auxiliary power line run to it, but if it doesn't have the module, it can't be made to a standalone.

F150/Expedition/Navigator seats DO fit?
I always thought the F150/Expedition/Navigator was a much smaller vehicle and had narrower and shorter seats.
This opens me up to new donors. I HATE HATE HATE the center console and narrow arm rests. I'd like a jump seat with flip-down console that I can rest a laptop or something on.
