Seats

[mtunender]

So I am really the only person in my truck ever so the seats are wearing uneven. The drivers seat is getting a little worn and packed. Is it possible to swap the seat back and bottom from left to right and right to left?

Yes really. Why is that a stupid question?

mtunender,
I would think that it should be an easy swap....however the seat frames are different so it will be switching the foam from one side to another. It might be cheaper to take it to an upholstering shop and have them put in fresh foam in just the driver's seat.
Let me know how you make out; I just turned 100,000 miles and the driver's seat bottom needs replacement too...

I just turned 50K but living in LA I spend a ton of time in traffic. I also use it for sales calls I am in and out a lot.

I thought if i could "rotate" the seats I could keep them even wear and more comfort for me.

I think I should be able to just swap the backs and bottoms. I understand the frame will need to stay.

Bet that driver side door handle will need swapped out also. Haha.. just jokin.. I totally get what your saying, I’m only one night my truck also and my passenger seat never has anybody hardly sitting in it. So in a year or two I will be in same boat as you as I look at my seats.

You could try stripping oils and contaminants out of them with some rubbing alcohol. Then steaming them to shrink the leather back to original, and conditioning them.

I have never owned a vehicle this long! Have to do something to make it feel new again.

I believe the manual says to rotate seats every 10K!

I agree with you. No need for that response.
