What to Know When Buying Ford Ranger Seats
Ford Rangers have been on the road in the US since the early '80s. When you want to repair, upgrade, or replace a seat so that you can stay on the road, check out eBay to find a wide variety of replacement parts and new and used Ford Ranger seats.
Placement is important when buying Ford Ranger seats
When buying Ford Ranger seats for your vehicle, it's important to know where the seats will be installed. The installation location should be either the driver side (left), passenger side (right), bench seat, or second-row seat, rather than installing a completely new seat location. Because there was an original seat present at some point in time, there will be pre-existing hardware on the floor of the Ranger to install the Ford Ranger aftermarket seats.
Are all Ford Ranger replacement seats compatible with my Ranger?
Since 1983, Ford Rangers have been compact pick-up trucks sold around the world. Since that time, the Ranger has been redesigned several times, which includes changes to front- and rear-row seating. To ensure your replacement Ranger seats will fit, it's important to check the compatibility between your model and the replacement seats' model. One way to ensure compatibility is to compare the year of the seat. For instance, if the seats were stripped from a 2013 Ranger Thunder, they will likely fit your own 2013 Ranger Thunder as well as Rangers of the same model and series.
When buying used original Ford Ranger seats, it's also important to note where the seats originated. Ford sells the Ranger in four different markets around the world. Each of these markets has unique driver/passenger setups. If you have a Ranger that was built in the North American market, you'll want replacement seats that match the hardware installed in your vehicle. Ford Ranger aftermarket seats from Europe are designed for the driver's seat to be on the opposite side, so you'd need to make sure you purchase replacement seats from the North American market instead.
Are Ford Ranger replacement seats available in different colors?
Yes, it is possible to buy Ranger replacement seats in a variety of different colors and fabrics. Traditional interior fabric colors such as brown, black, and tan are available as well as less-common designs, such as solid red, solid blue, and a variety of patterns.
Can Ford Ranger bucket seats be installed in existing models?
Yes, it is possible to replace standard Ford Ranger seats with comfortable bucket seats. The most important aspect of buying this type of seating is to check compatibility with existing models. In some instances, it may be necessary to install a conversion kit to allow the bucket seats to sit naturally in the truck cab.
