Leather Seats?
 
Are there any leather seats available for the ranger? i'm looking for an aftermarket product that will fit right in without any custom work. do they exist?

You can get the leather ones that came with the FX4's but kind of rare to find. Another option is to put synthetic leather seat covers. That's what I'm planning to do to mine.

Oh yeah, many LIIs come with some black leather seats that are badass! Some even came in tan or grey leather. But finding these will be hard and when/if yiu do, they will be crazy expensive! U can order leather seat covers though or have an upholster do ur seats

If you have an ex cab, the Explorer leather seats bolt right in.

Factory leathers exist... It was optional when your truck was new...optional on all xcabs but XL trucks since '04 or '05(cant remember which).

The factory leather ones even had lumbar support! :D I recently saw some gray leather ones coming from a wrecked '07 FX4 on ebay but they were pretty dirty.

FActory cloths had lumbar support...... my '03 seats do!




Here's some pics of factory optioned leather.....they were also optioned on the 60/40's, not just the buckets.

Or you can just go the seat cover route.... That's ALOT cheaper than Factory take-out's.

lol my seats dont even have lumbar support :rolleyes:

thanks for posting up the pictures. those things look sooooo nice.. about how much do they go for when they do pop up?

$500-1000. I've never seen black leather buckets less than $500 asking price.




EDIT: I seriously think the only ranger seats with both driver AND passenger lumbar are 02-03 Fx4 LII seats....like mine. All others are just driver lumbar. And lumbar never came on 60/40's.

When I went to the dealer one day I asked how much the leather seats would come out to be and they told me about $800-1000. Buying them used you can get them for a little cheaper. The ones I saw on ebay were about $200 but the condition wasn't the best either.

Thanks for the help man. These bad boys sound expensive but i guess thats to be expected. I'm guessing i have 60/40 seats? Do those numbers mean i have a certain material seat or is that the size?

Hm only $800-$1000 from the stealership? i would have expected $2,000+ lol... i might have to stop by ol' ford because i could honestly probably drop 1,000 on leather seats... i kinda like leather :rolleyes:

Well...you know what bucket seats are right? 60/40's are not buckets....60% of the seating surface is the driver's seat, 40% is the passenger seat.

I agree about Alan's seats....those are 1st gen uglyness Expo seats and are dated at almost 20 years old. 2 years shy of the first year of the expo. lol.
