I'm in south east PA. I might be interested in taking a ride or meeting half way. My bench is in a 2000 X LTD. Tan leather.

Been waiting for somebody to make this comment, but no go so far. So I will say it..... If I were going for

second row bucket seats, I would rather have the high back bucket seats like the driver's and passenger seats.

I think they would look better too, but I don't think they would fold correctly to increase the cargo area size since you can't remove the headrests.

They aren't in my Excursion. I have the bench seat, which I actually like better.

And they aren't two tone. The ones in the picture are a solid color tan.

I think he was referring to "my" seats, that is, the ones in the Excursion I may buy.

If there's someone who wants to trade their great-condition 2-tone tan bench for equivalent buckets in the SF Bay Area, let me know. I probably won't buy this Excursion unless I already have a trade worked out.

Yes I was. Too bad you are in the SF Bay Area. If you were closer and they were just tan or parchment (official name) I'd be all over it like a cheap suit.

I've found what appears to be a good candidate, but it has the 2nd-row bucket seats, and I really want a 2nd-row bench. Is this a cheap and easy swap, or do I need to keep looking?
If the seats are the grey leather and you're in the southern Caliifornia area, I have a 2nd row bench, for which I would prefer it was 2 buckets.

I passed on a couple of nice X`s just because they had the rear buckets! seems like a waste of a good towing/people hauler.

Agreed. And one thing a lot of people overlook...... by the time you let the combo armrest/cupholders down in the center of the bench seat, you have basically made 2 bucket seats out of the bench seat. But you still have the bench seat if you need more seating capacity.

That center armrest/cupholder thing is pretty wide!

agreed that you can seat more people, but if it comes to having more than 7 in the car we really should be taking 2 cars anyway.

i figure 1man\1 woman 3 kids and 2 inlaws is more than enough in any vehicle,
xcept a greyhound..
