^^I don't believe there is any other option besides black leather.

How old are your seats?

I was forced to get the bench by the wife, but it looks ok and adds a passenger. Trade off.

I wish I had the bench on the second row because I leave the third row down and have the cargo mat to allow transport of cargo easier. I looked at quite a few dealers in South Florida and none had the color combo I wanted with the second row bench in stock. Does anyone know how much that middle section would be to purchase from the dealer?

Are yours Black Leather?

yes

 

[Blue Beast]

Yes

 

[Bigmark1991]

Are yours Black Leather?

yes black leather. Want to swap?

 

[zdubyadubya]

I did, it cost just shy of $500 to do it when ordering.

No way... I didn't think this was possible. Mind detailing for us what was involved?

Side note, maybe we could either use this thread or the buy/sell to set up an exchange. I'm DEFINITELY in the market for swapping my second row captains for a bench with someone.

It’s just when you build the vehicle it’s a $495 option. The captians seats are included. If you go to
Ford.com and build an ST it’s one of the interior options.

oh. i thought you meant you were able to order it from the ford parts catalog and install yourself.

This has to be an easy swap

i would love it if it turns out to be. i can't find anything though. been spending last week trying to figure out if this is possible.

Are yours Black Leather?

called a dealership I trust and said you can’t swap captains chairs for a bench. Won’t work.

 

[GearHead_1]

That doesn’t make sense to me, I don‘t believe your dealer.

Why is that?

Built differently at the factory

Thanks for posting pictures of the pictures of the 2nd row bench seating. Can I ask a favor? Can you post a picture with all of the 2nd & 3rd row seats down. We have (3) Std Poodles and we need to see if it is workable before we order a ST. Thanks so much!

Has anyone swapped the captains chairs for the bench? It’s it even possible? I regret not getting the bench now.

 

[GearHead_1]

I'm certainly in favor of the bench seat as that's what I ordered. At the time it was a $495 option. I believe there is no difference in the option on new models. I have no doubt this can be done. This said, about the only way I can see doing this and it being cost-effective is if you were to find another owner that wanted Captain's Chairs and you could make a straight across trade.

The words "forced" & "wife" shouldn't be used in the same sentence... sorry!

Him and his Wife disagreed about getting the bench. So they compromised and got the bench.

 

[kldymond81]

Anyone opt for the 2nd row bench? Like it/hate it? Odd the middle seat is fixed.

love them
