Default Change a 40/60 for bench seat in '02?

Hey, Im new here, so apologies for any errors in my posting.

Ive got a 2002 XLT standard cab with 40/60 seats that ive been wanting to change out. I was wondering if there are any full bench seats that fit stock in the ranger or any that need little modification. Thanks for the help!

Im not exactly sure about your question but someone else will chime in.

Thanks blkranger! I saw this earlier, but wasnt certain on if the tracks and clearance were the same on all rangers. On the sport, is the 03-05 applying to the ex sport or the ranger?

Thanks! I saw this earlier, but wasnt certain if it applied to all rangers. Do you know if the 03-05 applies to the ranger or ex sport under "expo sport"?

03-05 Expo sport seats will fit into a ranger. You might need to use your current tracks.

03-05 explorer seats will not fit in a ranger unless they come from an explorer sport (2 door) or sport trac. and i think the cut off for that was 04. 95-01 explorers work with minor work. just make a couple holes larger. stuff on the sticky list applies to 93-7 only. however, you can adapt them to work in a 98+ by getting a set of explorer or 93-7 ext cab ranger tracks. this works for 98+ ext cabs. 98+ reg cabs need a set of 93-7 reg cab tracks to use the seats on the list.


now as far as a bench seat, you can use a gen 1-3 ranger reg cab bench seat. you will need a set of 93-7 reg cab ranger bench seat tracks. the front two holes should line up, then you just drill two holes for the rear. the biggest issue you will face is how to mount the seat belts.


98+ seat tracks aren't a simple unbolt like the 97 and olders were. the track assembly and recline mech are built as one unit. so reusing the tracks and swapping them over won't work.

Thanks drppdyllwrngr for clerifying all the info! Hopefully I can pop on over to the junkyard and find one of the years listed sometime soon.

Have you made this swap yet? I'm interested to hear how it went because I'm planning to put in a full bench seat this summer. For now I'm just keeping my eye on car-part.com for a gray or tan vinyl seat reasonably close to Denver.
