Does anyone know when they went with adjustable front seats on the XL Super Duty? I had a 99 F350 and the seat was a basic bench with a fixed back. I know that they have gone to a split bench, even a 40/20/40, but I am having a hard time figuring out what year that started so I can begin my used rig search. FWIW.. the new to me truck will be a gasser... I just want another basic/relatively comfortable truck. Thanks!Jeremiah

You may get an answer here but a Ford forum will most likely get it quicker.

My 2004 F-250 Super Cab has bucket seats with a center console. The seats recline and fold forward.

I don't know if cab configuration plays a role in which seat. My 99 crew XL is bench. My 07 crew XL is 40 20 40. Just bought a single cab 05 XL and it has a bench as well.If you find a clean truck you can always change the seat out. Usually when you get to a certain age XLT or Lariet aren't that much price difference.

with the Oil Fracking business......lots of Used late model F 250 and F 350 on the market... 2 and 4 wheel drive..XL and XLT.... my 2012 XL has the 40-20-40 seat... remember the newer Fords have road HOURS and Idle Hours in the information center of truckmy 2012 ... 138,000 miles has 4,100 hours of driving, so a Freeway truckand 600 hours of idling...

I know the 40/20/40 split bench was available from at least 2003 as an option in the extended and crew cabs. I don't know about the standard cabs.

Had a '95 crew with the 40-20-40 and they were adjustable.
Looked at buying a '97 regular cab that was a 40-20-40, but there isn't much room to recline.

Oh wait, we're talking about the SD, so they started in what, '98? They had them since '98.

SD started in 99, in 98 Ford had a heavy duty 1/2 ton they called a 250.

Thanks all, I am looking for a crew cab again. My 99 cc Duperduty had a fixed front bench. Very uncomfortable

I know the split bench (40/20/40) was available from 2003 on. I ordered my 2009 XL with bucket seats and added a center console from the higher trim levels.
