Rear Captain's Seats Excursion

[EODContender]

Was this ever an option for the Ford Excursion? I have been searching high and low for rear captains seats for my wife's Excursion but cant find them anywhere. Is this something that is a custom install or were they sold as a production option. Thanks in advance for any info.

as far as i know it was an option.....a rare one at that

I dont think its too rare. My dad for some unknown reason always wants an excursion, he is a truck guy and needs a truck for work.

But whenever I see him he is always wasting countless hours on the internet looking at em. I would say %25 of them have 4 captains chairs.

And they can be installed pretty easy. Might just need to drill a few extra holes.

Yes. My parents had an 02 with captains seats 2nd row. I was going to swap my 2nd row bench seat for their captains chairs before he traded it in the other day. But it was too much work. Would have had to replace the carpet. The bench mounts completely different than the captains chairs.

Was a Option, I have them in my 02 limited, i like the look of them. Like BIGKID says looks like some work would be involved going from bench to captains chairs.

Lots of them came that with dual captains rows. If they dont bolt right up its an easy fix. Had a little single cab dodge pick-up in the 90's and got rid of the bench for two leather buckets out of a little sports car , new bolts , nuts , and some washers as shims to level them out and 200,000 miles of comfy , troubleless driving in them before i got rid of it.

From what I can tell the holes are there from 01 and up. I have an 02 Limited that came with captains chairs. I recently bought a 60/40 bench from a local yard and am going to install it this weekend. From the looks of it pretty straight forward. I will post my results after the install. Not going to sell the captains chairs either....

I have an 02 Limited and from what my dealer told me that the 2nd row captains in the limited model were more common than the 60/40. I found a 60/40 from a local yard and swapped it in over the weekend. Took about an hour. In 2002 models and up the bolt mounts and holes are already welded in on the frame. You can crawl underneath and see. It was very straightforward and easier than I thought.

Good deal, did you have to recarpet it? Sometimes I would like to have the captain's chairs, sometimes the bench seat is nice(extra seating).

Hey you wanna sell your captains chairs?

With what small pieces that I had to cut I used to fill the holes. If you are not looking for the holes you would not even notice. Going to keep the captains chairs to have to switch back and forth..
