4th gen third row in 3rd gen

[04explorer4.6]

Hello,

I'm looking to change out my seats, particularly the third row because of the 4th Gen being split. Has anyone done this & is there any mounting differences between the 3rd & 4th gen?

Your best bet would be to go to a wrecking yard and scope it out.
I know when I put the 4th gen 2nd row seats with center console in my 04, I had to add a hole to the 4th gen seats mounting plate. Other than that they fit.

I had the option to put 4th gen third row in my 04 (it was motorized) however, after speaking with some 4th gen owners, they all said they preferred the non motorized 3rd gens.
Don't know if you are looking at the motorized version or not.

I would prefer the manual. I'm wanting to change because of the split seats.

Good point. I'll plan to upgrade to the split version as well.
