1996 Explorer - Seat Compatibility

[Akeis1991]

I just inherited a 1996 Ford Explorer. Trying to see if the driver seat is compatible with a 2000 Explorer driver seat or not. Has anyone tried this or know what other years are compatible? Any suggestions or places that I could get a new seat? The spring and latch on it are broken where it can't be fixed.

Yes, it will fit, you might need to use the 96 seat belt clip though, and, yes, it can be fixed

First and second Gen seats are compatible, as well and Ranger and B2. The seatbelts did change in 98 though.

Example I have 99 seats in my 97 but I had to swap the belt off the seats.
