We picked up our '19 Expedition Platinum with middle row captains seats, and my wife would like to add in a center seat. I've looked at the forums and see the process is fairly simple, but what I'm not clear on is if a Expedition Max seat will fit into a regular Expedition, or are the seats different. Does anyone know if the seats are the same?

Also, I live in the Salt Lake City area if anyone is interested in trading their black middle row bench for my middle row captains chairs.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the info. I did try to find the part number for the seats, but I couldn't find a reliable source, are there any sources that you recommend? I'm used to looking up drivetrain parts, but this seemed alien to me.

Thx

I don't believe Ford sells the seat as a complete assembly, and if they did (judging from just the frames cost, the cost would be prohibitive. I would suggest you start looking into large recycling companies (Junk Yards) in your area to see if you can find the seat you need.

I appreciate that info. I did find a full matching middle seat, but it's out of a Max, so that's why I was trying to figure out if it's the same seat as the standard length.

I see. I looked up Standard Limited and Max Limited center seat frame and the part numbers are the same. It states it is for the 40-20-40 configuration, but that does not mean that there are not some differences in the outer 2 seats in the bucket seat configuration of your truck, but you can check that as well.

Wow, I really appreciate you doing that, thank you so much. The Ford parts department wasn't even able to answer this question, so that was very helpful.

Thanks again!

I am following you as I too like the 3rd seat in the middle but mine only has buckets. I would like to see your process of adding it!
