So, I bought a new 2018 2500 Tradesman Cummins 6.7L with only 25 miles on it, couldn't turn down the 14K they took off MSRP. The one thing I miss is the electric seats that my 2006 2500 had and a few other things, but lets talk about seats.
I figure it's possible to purchase either used, or a new set of electric seats, or at least a drivers seat, but thought I would check here to see if anyone has experience doing this type of job. A few questions:
1. Is the wiring perhaps in place, or at least enough that I am not rewiring the whole thing.
2. Can you do only the drivers seat, or maybe driver and passenger seat, or do you have to replace the whole 40/20/40 bench seat?

Any experience out there that you would car to share?

Thanks!

I also have a new 2018 Tradesman, have done some upgrades, thinking of this for driver seat to be able to raise it up.

I have the 2018 1500 Tradesman QC with the chrome sport package upgrade. Two things I miss from my 03 1500 QC. Electric seats and leather steering wheel. After looking at what my seat options were. All expensive. I realized that once I set the seat in the position I wanted, I never adjusted it again. Looking at the manual seat, I realized that the only thing I needed to do was raise the seat. So I did. Leathers steering wheel is another expensive need. Have a temp leather cover from AutoZone until I figure out what I am going to do. Fitz

You can find leather steering wheels in nice condition pretty easily on ebay or Car-Part.com for around $150 to $200 dollars. It's a plug and play upgrade and you will then have the audio controls on the back of the steering wheel to control your radio.
