Hey everyone,

I'm in the process of purchasing a 2018 tahoe rst premier. GM doesn't offer the seating arrangements that i require so im looking into swapping out the front center console for a jump seat and adding a jump seat between the second row captains chairs. Any info or links on completing this would be greatly appreciated!

Look in the classified for a Silverado jump seat and try and find someone to swap captain chairs for their 60/40 split bench. Worth a shot.

This is exactly what I would do...  So I take it the Tahoe RST can't be ordered with a 60/40 split bench seat for the 2nd row?  That's weird if that's the case...

 

There are a few 2nd row 60/40 split bench seats available on eBay for a decent price:

Just keep a look out and you should be able to find something that works for what you need.

Yes this would be the way to go! There is no way you could put a truck jump seat between the captains chairs that wouldn't completely ridicules! imo. If you need that much room it almost sounds like you should have gotten a Suburban or an XL.

Here is an 18 silverado jump seat in my 18 suburban. Ebony leather and stiching in upper match perfectly - the lower cloth part matches carpet behind seats so it all does tie in pretty well. Best part - usable cup holders! I may get leather cover for seat portion, but I only have 2 kids, and there is still the 3rd row. You do have to remove armrests for it to fit. Kids love it... 5861322e1423f603ed64242851c1f6e3.jpg7a700a051adc3c3fef51e91457a4e3c3.jpg3d689dd5bb9cf79ef1ada80c19e5edde.jpg

So is there a way to secure this or is it just sitting there?

Working on it. Got floor brackets in yesterday, and will do a custom bottom attachment to raise it up a bit off the plastic. The front hump is wider so I plan to shape it a little...e50a989d5bb1f5273751850f1770028e.jpgda250ddf11f9f8f5f1a991b8791fce12.jpg

So great to see something other than replacing the captain seats with a bench!

Update on the jump seat installation? I have been looking into adding another seat and would like to do something similar in our 2017 suburban.

Nice! I am liking this upgrade.  I am moving from my old 1990 Suburban to a 2016 or so Yukon XL Denali soon, and I was thinking I would miss the 2nd row bench sometimes.  This is a great way to have it all.  Looking forward to any updates on the install.  I thank you in advance for saving me the trouble of debugging the details.

Done. I used some granite counter brackets and some tab bolts from a nerf bar install kit. Very sturdy now and storage in both upper console, behind cupholders, and under seat. Has a lap belt too. Going to be an arm rest with 3 cup holders 95٪ of the time, but you never know when you need an 8th spot...92e26a6c7567ec0be4b230dfe1849a0f.jpg1183d14e9a3cbce8efcfaf83d903989d.jpg40ee00769edc097172595ce987950a09.jpg

Awesome Job Texas Daddy. Do you have a video or details of how it's been done? I am trying to do it by myself. Is it a jump seat of Sierra? Do i need to drill the floor to attach the granite counter brackets?

Question about the install.  I have ordered a jump seat/console for my 2nd row to sit between the 2 bucket seats.  Did you drill holes in the bucket seat mounting bracket (painted black) on the floor?  Mine has one hole in the vicinity of your mounting bracket, and I am wondering if you used it, or did you drill new ones?  Also, it appears you did not go through the floor of the vehicle, is that correct?  Other than the 4 mounting brackets, did you secure it any other way to the vehicle body?

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
