Hi I have a 1999 Explorer XLS, I have cloth seats and they are not power. Recently I have been having lower back pain, I have tried lumbar support and massage pads but no use. I was wondering if I can replace the driver side seat with lets say a Lincoln Navigator Power seat or Expedition Power seat. Does anyone has any experience with that. Thanks, Johnny
Personally, I'd look for the optional sports seats out of
1996 Explorer. I had one, and they were the best OEM seats I have ever owned. The seats in my 1997 Expedition XLT were horrid. In fact, they were so bad, I replaced the driver's seat with a Recaro Orthoped seat. You might consider this option if your back is really bad. The Recaro seat was very firm, but that is what you need for a bad back. I had mine done in material that matched the OEM cloth. I now have a 2003 Expedition and the seats are much better than the 1997 Expedition, but not as good as the 1996 Explorer sport seats.Regards,
Ed White
