Swap front row bucket for a bench

[blowin oil]

This may seem like a strange wish, but I would much prefer to have a bench seat in the first row of my 2005 Yukon XL 2500 SLT. Has this ever been done before and if so what parts do I need to make it work? Can I use a leather bench seat out of a Silverado/Sierra with heated seats and bolt it up? I know there are alot of folks swaping the second row but I can't find any info on a first row swap. Thanks

It should be a direct swap. I think the base models have the 40/20/40 front in them.

Bench seats are amazing. Wish more trucks had them. I have it in my truck and i love the room it gives.

I don't believe there is a Leather bench seat available, much less with heat.

You would probably have to get a bench seat setup in cloth then purchase an aftermarket leather seat cover replacement for the front only and get seat heaters to install under the covers on the new seat.

What seat color and configuration do you have now? If you have a charcoal bucket/console setup, we might be able to make a deal on a swap. Your floor console for my folding seat/console. Let me know

Z71AST, my seats are gray Would love to do a swap. Maybe you can paint the console to match?

So why do you need a bench in the front on a Yukon? If you have that many kids you probably need an XL or a Suburban or maybe a school bus! ;-)

The truck in question IS a Yukon XL. I have 2 kids with one on the way. I just like my lady to be able to sit next to me the added seating capacity is just a bonus.
