Default regular cab seat upgrades?

I have the 60/40 bench cloth seats; can they be upgraded to something more comfortable?

ie. is there an XLT model or something with leather seats I can get?

You could get leather lariat or expedition seats but they are all pretty much the same I don't think they will be more comfortable. In fact my dad's expedition had leather but it would make your back hurt really bad after about an hour. Might look at navigator seats but they may be the same.

You could get the 60/40 out of a lightning but that would only be a look upgrade. If you can find 2 buckets and a console out of an expy or an f150 they look good in our reg cabs.

I did f250 lariat leather buckets they are great but the install was a pain!!!
The lightning seats would get my nod if I was doing it again. The side bolsters are well worth it.

Vortex dont know where you are located but I have factory buckets and a console that I would sale. They are grey with fold down armrests in great shape only draw back is I used the floor mounts with my new seats so there are no mounts with them.

I did a swap in the Lightning - I used an expedition seat and swapped over the back foam, and bought drivers side bottom foam. Is it anymore comfortable? No, not really, but it does look better.

The bolsters are nice, but the seat is just uncomfortable overall to me.

Could go with aftermarket seats.
