Tradesmen seat upgrade

[RockyAEV]

So forgive me if there is another post on this topic that is specific to this question. I know that if I buy new seats I can swap them out and have power (of course add a new harness to make it work).

But my question specifically is can I buy the power base (found online for just a couple hundred instead of 1500) will that power base mount to my seat back, will it match the tradesman cushion? My only true complaint is that the driver seat can not be placed in a comfortable position. I like the seat otherwise, easy to clean, tuff again tools, etc.

Basically I want to stay cheap, but add a power driver seat.

Do you have any pictures? I’m not 100% sure what those look like....driver seat is truly the only one I’m worried about being power. Is the steering wheel leather? Shoot hit me up with what all you have and a price list, I might be interested in a large chunk of what ya got.

What all would I need if I wanted to swap my manual driver seat to power without buying a higher trim seat? Seat base, motor, switch, panel, and motor? Anyone done this before?

This was answered in other threads. The seat frames themselves are different. Once you sourced all the parts including the upper and lower seat frames, power adjust motors, switches, switch bezel and seat harness the parts would be well over what you would pay for a standard non heated power adjust seat out of a SLT or Bighorn. The SLT/Bighorn seat covers are the same design and style as the Tradesman/Express seats so you could easily install your seat covers to match the rest of your seats and be done with it.
