2nd Row Captains Chair?

I have captains chairs in the second row. Does anyone know if I could install a bench seat there and if it would be plug and play or would I need some modifications done? Thanks, Dana.

I have swapped from backets to a bench. here is a thread I made about the differences: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/8...l-it-work.html

It should be easy for you on the '05 it will have all the bolt holes in place. You just need to find a matching bench seat and the center seatbelt

Thank you for getting back to me. I make one long trip a year that I would need the bench in the second row for more cargo room in the back. Other than that, I love the captains in the second. I will try to find a bench. Thanks for all of your help.

Exactly what I was thinking. The reason it took me 3 months to buy my Excursion, and why I drove 240 miles to get it.

I have an '05 with Bench... that I'd love to swap for Captains.

However, I have the two-tone black/tan leather interior... unless I find matching captains chairs, it's not worth the work or what it'd take (another $1500) for new leather (matching) interior

IMHO....
Before you decide if you think you NEED to swap, be sure and try it out....

I THOUGHT I needed buckets and had them in my 1st 2 ex's, but the bench seems to function better and is much more comfortable (to me and mine )

Only benefit I saw in the buckets was the ability for the kids to pass through instead of climb over.... and kids LOVE to climb

YRMV !

Trade

I have a bench from a 2000 excursion with only 51,000 miles that is beige in color. I would love to trade for two bucket seats of the same color for the second row. Email Arniesexcavating@yahoo.com
