2003 jump seats

I just picked up a 2003 Ranger super cab for my son. I didn't notice that it didn't have the jump seats, apparantly (according to the salesman I bought it from) they are optional starting this year.Had I noticed that, I would have gotten a different truck. So does anyone know if I can retrofit the jump seats into a truck that came without them? I was told at the dealership it would cost prohibitive to have them put in.

I honestly dont know, but if i were you, i would go back to the dealer. Let them know if they ever want your buisiness again they will get them in there for you. It's amazing what dealers will do sometimes to keep a customer

Good call Roadrage. Dealers will do almost anything to keep your business. One dissatified customer=10 potential customers that will think twice before buying a vehicle from an un-cooperative dealer.

Well, if it was an option Iw ould think the bracket mounting points exist. If that is the case it is simply a matter of throwing money at it.

With that said:

If the Ford dealer considered adding the option cost prohibitive I can easily imagine THOUSANDS of dollars to do the conversion. Seriously!

Remember; this is the same company that thinks $700 to change out a set of PLASTIC front hubs (for another PLASTIC set)is "reasonable" !!

I bet the mountings are all there, try a junkyard to reduce the cost, they never get used so it should be easy to find some in great condition.
