Bench seating for front

[KevinRS]

Define "any money". For some, a bench might preclude the SUV set up....

What I'm saying, probably a large majority have no interest in a bench. Of the minority who say they have interest, even at highly scaled up production, it's going to cost probably $500-1000 at a minimum, more likely 1000-2000, assuming the development and testing costs were already paid off.

That’s a lot…unless it is some dope leather seat? (Which would defy logic as a local runabout.)

The seat would have to have the side airbags
Outside of ebay, I am seeing the most basic F150 front seats, cloth, manual, used, from a 50k mile truck, going for $1269 for the pair.
I haven't found where Ford would list complete seats, I am seeing cushion covers for around $500 each, back frames around 500+, Seat track which appears to be the metal components of the seat base, for around $1300. Those appear to be just part of the components of a single seat, figure near double for a front bench, and have to add whatever components are missing.

I am sure you can go to the local junk yard or Amazon and find a seat that will work. I mean there is only a couple of seat manufacturers that provide all the seats. Most would probably use the factory bolt pattern if not nothing else you can drill and tap it youself

Not sure if it'd fit width-wise but $200 will get you an F150 center.

This has been brought up before but the 2025 F150 is offered with a bench and there's no discernable difference other than the seatbelt is built into the middle seat. No airbag changes or anything.

IIRC, my 2021 F150 had a shoulder belt for this middle fold down front seat. I would love to have all 3 seats up front but doesn’t seem likely to fit!

My dog likes the looks of that center seat airbag or no.

I'd be down for a bench. Like my first car, a 1987 Dakota
