2004-2005 Ford Ranger Seats
I am looking for a bench seat for a 2004 on up Ranger Edge? What would you guys suggest? The seating has been far improved over the 2003 and prior editions. I thought about finding a hungry New Car Ford Salesman....you know the hungry type.....throw him 400.00 bucks and let me take a nice test drive.....you know a lengthy nice test drive. :D

That's highly illegal, but I've thought about that myself
The best way is to rent a Ranger from Budget, then take it home for the swap. They rent them for people to use as cargo haulers, so they seats don't stay clean for very long. If you clean your seats up before the swap, no one would notice.
Of course I never said that, as I was never here

Of course I never said that, since I'm still not here.

Got a kick out of the guy over on ORR that traded his seats out of his truck before trading it in just to get rid of the '04+ seats! What a PITA! Ford sure seems to know how to put a monkey in the works, don't they?! ... But then, don't we all?
I have to say that my seats (the buckets in my '03 FX4 LII) are great. The seats were actually a large selling point for the truck, something I'd never thought I'd worry about. I was shopping for a truck w/ a bench, but bought my truck after just one ride 'round the block..

I actually like the new seats. Less initial comfort, but better support and comfort on long trips. The higher head rest is a good thing. While it blocks visibility a bit, it's better protection for your neck if you get rear-ended. I still need more side bolstering because I probably take my corners faster than I should. Ford also ditched the torx seat bolts and just went with hex bolts in 04.

The '04 seats I have ever sat in have been rather hard, and the angle of the headrest has hit my head many times. It's kinda like I have to lean forward while sitting in them, and that isn't comfy for someone of my height. My Level II seats in my '03 were perfect. Supportive, Cushy and nice. I like them better.

kewl...I will trade you....mine have been covered since new...... :D

I've had both style of pre '04 seats and test driven several '04's. IMHO '03 a older sport buckets are byfar the best more comfy supportive. Even the '03 and older split bench which I hated are softer better than '04's. I think the fabric for 04 is better than previous years but the support of the seats suck.

well if they suck that bad it should be an easy trade? No?

My seats are very comfortable but they are also unique. :D
Pictures of the leather buckets and full console sold me on that upgrade.
I was very glad to have gotten them, plus the cranking stereo.
At first the head rest was too close but I found raking it back more made it %100 more comfortable.
I have grown acustomed to the block of rear view and find that the very dark tint hinders me more at night than the seats.
Also it is harder to see back over my left shoulder due to the wide B pillar of the 4 door - that has nothing to do with the seats though.
All in all I have almost all highway miles on LIL BLUE (excepting off road) and the seats have broken in nicely and are quite comofortable.
I fitted some spongey ties to hold terry cloth towels over them in the summer.
