Captain Chairs to Bench Conversion

[Jace]

Hey all!

So we're looking at possibly reconfiguring our 2019 Limited Max's 2nd row with captain chairs to a bench setup in order to allow for some more seating. I swear I read about someone doing it or wanting to do it in the past, but I can't find anything definite in the search.

Has anyone done this that can share their experience, or anyone that has dug around that may know if it's possible or not?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

I simply bought the bench 2nd row that converts to captains chairs. Maybe totaled Truck and buy the bench seat?

So you've done this, or did you start out with the bench and remove the center seat? I've seen pics of the center seat removal, and it looks like the floor goes down where the legs mount. I wonder if the floor pan is flat in the captain chair version, or filled with a spacer under the carpet to make the floor appear flat. I dunno if I can see ford using 2 separate floors or not? Thanks!

Jace- I'm in Utah too and looking to do the opposite, maybe we could collaborate (if you have a black interior)

Started out with the bench, center flips down bingo captains chairs. Mounting points should be the same

I’ve got factory captain chairs, and my floor is flat as can be. No hump. Hope that helps

Thanks for confirming that, I hadn't pulled up my mats to double check.

I'm curious to know if Ford uses the same floor pan on both models, one of them having some sort of filler piece

I found these pics in another thread showing the center of the bench removed. These would be easily filled or covered with mats if you are going from bench to captains. I just wonder if these indents and bolt holes are present, but filled in/covered up in the captains chair models.

I may have to take you up on this! I should know which direction I'm heading here in a few weeks for sure. I'm going to try and see if I can figure out if I can bolt them in or not based off the images I posted above.

And to answer your question, I've got a 2019 Limited Max with a black leather interior. What is yours?

Makes sense.. so you did what I just posted pics of (maybe they are even your pics haha, if so thanks!) I'm curious on the mounting points.

So basically the only thing you lack is the arm rests.
