I want to upgrade/change my seats. I have a XL that has a bench seat that dont recline or anything and is very uncomfertable. I was wondering what seats i could get to fit in the truck? I know i will probably have to drill some holes for the sliders. I saw some nice F150 seats from a 04 that i liked. Would those fit? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a 2009 F350 XLT SuperDuty, came with the 2 seats and center console / seat. I could not stand it. All of my pickups had bench seats. I swapped out my 350 seat with a F550 vinyl seat , it even had a small console built into the seat for beverages. Got the seat in a recycler yard for $200. It was only a couple months old, excelant condition. I did my research on here, most seats fit, especially within the SuperDuty family. Lift up your carpet and you will see different holes with welded nuts inside or under the truck

My recomendation to you , is to check your local auto recycling centers, and see what they have in stock. You can also try www.car-part.com , which is a national database for auto recyclers ///// www.EbayMotors.com Type in SuperDuty seats. Sometimes members on here will want to swap with you.

Measure out your bolt pattern / patterns. The superduty trucks are very easy seats to change out. On my 2009 there is only the electrical hookup on my drivers side for the electric fabric seat that that came with the truck.

No airbag wiring , at least on my xlt. Therefore no air bag classification weight sensors or airbags in the front seats. It has the airbag key switch on the dash. Only the driver's side seat belt has the wiring for verification, that your seat belt is on. " 2 wires - Black / white" . Whatever drivers seat you get, this will have to be wired into the trucks Black / white wires. "Very easy"

I sold my entire seat setup to the recycling yard. Actualy did the seat swap right there.

Do a search on here. Type in SuperDuty Seats. Myself and many FTE Members on here did rightups on here regarding this subject. As I mentioned it can be done, but do your research. Some members told me on here that certain cab configurations could have a slightly different bolt pattern, Crew cab vs Reg cab. You would have to drill a few holes in the floor of your truck.



The SuperDuty seats are heavy, especially the bench seat.

If you stick to the SuperDuty Family, you will have better luck with the bolt patterns. F150 seats do not fit unless you weld up your own brackets.

If you get power seats, you will have to use one of the blunt wires from under the drivers side pannel , run a direct wire "fused" to the battery. Some SuperDuty Trucks come pre-wired, pull your carpet up and double check.

If you have any questions write back.

P.S.- If you are buying seats where you can not see them in person, make sure that person gives you the cross measurements from his seats, to confirm they will fit.

Any superduty front seat set will fit, regardless of cab configuration, they're all the same. I just did the same swap on my 03 XL, couldn't stand the vinyl bench with no armrest. After several months of keeping an eye on craigslist, I scored a set of cloth XLT crew cab seats. The holes are all there, but the front in-board 2 holes were not tapped and were covered by the rubber floor covering. A quick hole with a utility knife, and a tap in and out and the 2 holes and the seats bolted right in. Only thing to watch is the seat belts. Extended cab seats will have the seatbelts in the seat, whereas the regular and crew cab seats have the belts mounted to the B-pillar.

FWIW, I measured the holes for a rear crew cab seat, and it's identical to a front bench. Only problem is a rear seat wouldn't slide like a front seat.

 

Another decent source for Super Duty seats is eBay.
