Replacing back seat w/captains chairs - Possible?
Hello all! I am new to these forums. I am going this Friday to look at an Excursion and I was wondering if the back seat (not the third seat) can be replaced with two captains chairs? My wife prefers those and so now I am doing my diligent research!
Thanks

I rode in my buddies Ex in the rear captain's chairs and I found them to be extremely narrow and uncomfortable.
I like the rear bench much better. If you are worried about access to the 3rd seat, it's not hard with the rear bench since a small part of it folds and slides forward.
My Ex has the rear bench.

The larger portion slides as well, ya know.

Hey,
I have a 2004 limited with captains chairs and i would like a bench seat. If you bought the excursion and we are lucky enough to have the same color interior I would be willing to swap.
