looking for a 7 seat excursion

Can anyone tell me what year they started offering the 7 seat version with the 4 captains chairs? Earliest I have seen is 04 but I would like to find one with a 7.3. Would it be easy to replace the 2nd bench with captains chairs? Are they the same as the front seats or different? Thanks for the info.

Earliest for the quad captain's was 2002, if Im not mistaken.

They are definitely different than the front seats. But a member here recently added the front style buckets to the 2nd row... do a search

I did a writeup on the differences between mounting the standard 2nd row buckets and bench here: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/8...l-it-work.html

So, yes it is easy to swap, although pre-2002 EX's will need holes drilled for mounting nuts. 2002-up have all the mounting holes already in the body.

hope that helps...

Dude, I was doing my occasional obsessing about what Xs were for sale lately with 7.3s and this one looks interesting. It also seats 7 (quad) like you want. Additionally, it has a lot of life left in her with only 100K and as a bonus, it's a Eddie Bower (the dealer didn't label it right). It's fairly priced, may be even a little low... I'd run a carfax or autochek. Anyone else in the King of the SUVs interesting in this one, but can't get to Ocala FL this weekend (1/9 and 1/10)... I'm offering to go look at it for you (I happen to be in FL this COLD weekend... maybe she has seat warmers)
