2007 Captains seats

Are all Premium Captains seats power or is that a separite option?
There is a power drivers seat option, but it seems to be for the standard bench seat. The accessories info is pretty vaigue about this.

Also I'm wondering why 18" wheels drop the tow capacity 500 lbs.

All I can tell you is both my bucket seats are power. The 500 pound capacity reduction is for 18’s and 20’s I’m sure it’s because the wheel is bigger, just don’t know the exact thinking behind it.

I've been wondering the same thing about the seats. I had an '04 with the 60/40 front seat that had the center section that the backrest folded down for an armrest console type storage compartment. My '07 has what is called a Captain seats with a real console in the middle. The seat to me look like just plain bucket seats to me.

I always thought Captain Seats were suppose to have armrest built into the seat.

The Captain seats in my '07 XLT Screw only has power on the driver-side. I think maybe the Lariat, King Ranch, HD F150 might have power seats on both sides.

The seats are exactly the same. The only difference is the center console.

I know Ford calls them "Captains Chairs", but both are the same.

The wheels are a larger diameter so they change the gear ratio to a less favorable one for towing.
