I have been thinking about doing the explorer seat swap. We have probably 10 junk explorers at work. I want one with gray leather and of course they all arent leather. I did find one with pretty mint gray leather, only problem is that its in a Mercury Mountaineer not an Explorer so it says Mounteneer on both of the seats. Now I can probably get the seats for pretty cheap but I think its pretty lame to have seats that say a different car on them. Just wondering what you guys would do. Take the deal or just wait for seats without the wording???

 

and what exactly do you think the Explorer seats say on them?

RANGER?

 

Id take it and put a cover over em with the Ford emblem on it or a maltese cross..

 

no but I didnt think the explorer seats said anything on them. Atleast the cloth ones in my brothers explorer don't

 

ya I thought about that but wouldnt that ruin the whole reason of putting the nice leather seats in there?

 

my explorer leather seats dont say anything on them

 

i would do it

 

Just to let you know ...I have grey EXP seats in my ranger. They say noting on them..But, as far as my 2cents goes. I would take them if the deal was good enough..O-and as far as leather...I do not like the seats with a bunch of small holes in them.

 

True, you could always give the covers a shot and if you dont like it, sell it on ebay.

 

Thats part of the reason I went for cloth buckets from the sport trac. They are so nice.

 

My first set of leather seats (gray) were out of an Eddy Bauer Ex and so the seats have the EB emblem embroidered on them:

I currently have another set of the exact same seats in my Ranger, the only difference being that they are tan in color (to better match the rest of the interior) and they don't have the EB logo:

Standard Leather Seats

Everything else, including the power/lumbar/bolster options, are identical between the two sets.

x182dan, I see you are in CT. If it doesn't work out with the seats at work, I still have the grey EB seats here at home and they are available. I was going to eBay them or list them in the classifieds, but just haven't gotten around to it. They are in great shape and I know they work fine because I had them in my truck for over a year. The only reason I swapped a another set in was because I got a great deal on some tan seats that better match my interior. PM me if you are interested.

 

I'd say go for 'em,I am having a heck of a time finding grey leather or cloth Explorer buckets n console here in nice shape.

 

you could actually take them, and have the top parts re done so they dont say mountaineer, but ranger instead

 

 

id go for it its another Ford product its not like they say Chevy Impala on it or something you could cover it if it really bothers you like others have said or see if a upholsterer could cover it with your own design just the mountaineer logo

 

Buy a Ranger Forum sticker.........job done!
