Ranger seats on Explorer power seat tracks?
Is it possible to put Ranger seats on Explorer power seat tracks and make them work? *See picture below for seats I am talking about
The reason I am asking is because I want the FX4 blac/red seats, but I want to keep the full power.
Also, would the black/red seats look good on a grey interior

the reason i want to go to a stock seat on the power tracks is cause the way the Explorer seats raise up on the side....with my truck being tall and me having to fall out of it and climb in it, it wears/tears the sides of the seats.....since the stock seats are not raised on the side, it would be easier on the side of the seats (that and my truck is burgandy
)

^^^07 seats are a little different than those, to the eye its just the head rests, but they may have added more padding and lower back support. All I know is that my 04 seats (IMO) suck on a 5 hour trip up north...
yea...my seats look good but...going from my nice hugging buckets in my civic to those in my 05 ranger...not so pleasant...but i got a truck not a luxury vehicle so i deal...im not a fan of red...but those seats look really good!

As you know, the Ex seats themselves actally sit flat on the top of their tracks and the bolt holes are all at 90 degree angles to each other. So if you could confirm the same thing with the FX4 seats, then you should be good to go. Even if the bolt holes don't line up, if the bottom of the FX4 seats are flat (like the Ex seats), then it would be fairly easy to fabricate an "adapter plate", I'd have to think.
