So my ranger bench 60-40 seat is torn to s#it on the drivers side

I tried going the stock replacement route but could only find
Extended cab seats on Craig's list
And from what I understand regularly cab seats and bracket s
Are different from extended cab seats and bracket s

Can anyone with ranger experience confirm this ????



So I think I'm just gonna go with a procar seat aka scat for about
200$ and use their Ford ranger bracket which is supposed to
Bolt right in and seat right in to bracket
I'm 6-2 so seat will always be in the all the way back position
And something that sits lower then stock would be good
I m assumeing seat belts will be retained and not sure about
Airbag or seatbelt wire that plugs into bottom of stock seat .





Am I going the right direction here or is there a better way .

I thought about the whole 're upholstered route but not sure what that cost .




Advice please. ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

You are right. Only standard cab seats fit into standard cab rangers. Extended cabs won't fit in yours. The issue is that the seat rails are riveted to the seats themselves.

Is your model an XL? I went with Edge model seats and they are sooooo much more comfortable. I also heard of guys dropping in mustang seats but heard they lost some room. I am 6'-2" so I need all i can get.

If i were you, i would try to find standard cab Edge model seats, or just get seat covers. Not worth the hassle of the air bag sensors to swap in some shitty aftermarket "race" seat.
