Auto Parts: front seat 99 Ford ranger xlt 2wd ext cab, tan, ford ranger xlt, pep boys


Question
I need to replace the front seat on my ranger and have been unable to determine interchange years.  I know 99 was a new design but unable to determine what years will fit.  Ford dealer was no help. Can you help?
Thanks
DJ

Answer
Hi DJ,

Dealership has interchangeability notes but never released them to public. They won't help you because you are not buying a new vehicle from them and unless your vehicle is still under warranty, '99 is too old for them, they'd like to see you in an '09 so you can keep paying them for the next six years.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
