Explorer Seats?

Ive noticed a good bit of people switch the ranger cloth seats for nice leather explorer seats, would this work for a 2011 Sport RWD? If so thats deeeeefinitely gonna be my next upgrade.

Yes, you can do that but a couple of heads ups, 4-door explorer seat backs don't fold forward, on 2-door explorer sport only passenger seat folds forward

If you have a 4-door Ranger that may not be an issue, it can be on a 2-door Ranger

If you have a regular cab you have to watch seat back height(and thickness), as the angle of the seat back can get quite steep if you need to slide the seat back for legroom

You will need to cut your mounting tracks off the Ranger seats and bolt them to the explorer seats, around 2002 Ford started welding the tracks to the seats to save the cost of 4 bolts, lol

Another problem you're going to have, Your 2011 has airbags in the seats.
