Looking for Seat Options for My 99 Ford F150!

Maintenance & Repairs
1

I’ve got a 1999 Ford F-150 that’s been a trusty workhorse for me, but I’m starting to think it’s time to upgrade the seats. They’re not as comfortable as they used to be, and I’m considering some replacements.

What I’m Looking For

I’m trying to find options that are either:

  • Replacement seats that fit directly without too much hassle.
  • Seats from other Ford models that might be interchangeable.
  • New or used options that won’t break the bank.

What I Know So Far

From my research, it seems like:

  • Certain models from the late 90s and early 2000s might have compatible seats.
  • I’ve seen some interesting custom seat covers that could give the interior a nicer feel without a full seat replacement.

Questions for You All

  1. What are the best seats you’ve found that fit the 99 F150?
  2. Any brands that specialize in these kinds of replacements?
  3. Has anyone done a DIY seat swap? If so, what should I watch out for?
  4. I was checking eBay—any tips for avoiding scams or finding the best deals?

I appreciate any advice or pointers you can provide. Looking to get this sorted out soon, so I can enjoy a more comfortable ride!

I recently replaced the seats in my 99 F150 with factory options. The fit was perfect, and they have a great look. Check out OEM parts for reliable replacements!

That’s awesome, David! Has anyone tried aftermarket seats? I’ve heard good things about some brands enhancing comfort significantly.

Aftermarket seats can be a game changer! I went with a pair from Xtreme and they have adjustable lumbar support. Makes long drives much better!

I would also suggest considering seat covers if you want to keep the original look. They’re a lot cheaper than full replacements and can enhance comfort too!

Great point! Seat covers can really freshen up the look without breaking the bank.

Has anyone experienced the Corbeau seats? I hear they’re more aggressive but provide great support for off-road driving.

Corbeau seats are amazing! I’ve had mine for over a year, no complaints. Comfortable for daily driving and sturdy for trips.

Install isn’t too bad, as long as you have basic tools! Most seats come with clear instructions. Maybe watch a couple of YouTube videos for help.

Consider adding memory foam seat cushions—they really do improve comfort significantly!

For extra comfort, heated seats are fantastic, especially in winter! Have you tried aftermarket solutions for that?

When replacing seats in a 99 Ford F150, it’s crucial to have a socket set, ratchet, and some Allen wrenches. Make sure to take off the battery cable before you start to avoid any electric shocks! Good luck with your project!

Great tip! Don’t forget to have some penetrating oil handy; sometimes the bolts can be a bit rusty. It really helps get those stubborn bolts out.

I just swapped mine out last month! The biggest challenge was aligning the new seats with the existing mounts. I had to drill some new holes to get a perfect fit. Be prepared for some trial and error.

That’s interesting! Did you use any specific type of seat for your truck? I’m considering bucket seats for mine.

I used some generic bucket seats, and they fit surprisingly well with just a bit of adjustment. If you go that route, be sure to grab some universal seat brackets. You’ll need them!
