Am i the only one that hates the 2nd row capt chairs?

[ThwopKing]

I really hate the 2nd row capt chairs along with third row seats. I know some guys have swapped out the 2nd row bench for the capt chairs but had q anyone done the opposite? Is it a bolt in affair? How about the seat belts? I'm looking past a few 'Hoes cuz of those seats!

I wouldn't have anything but captains chairs.

I'd love to trade my captains for a bench. I carry 5 more often than 6 or 7. The bench just works better for that.

The rear bench would even be better fit when i toss the dog in back. Plus the bench, more so than capt chairs, would keep him from chewing on stereo wires i would have in the cargo area.

I found a 2010 Z71 with 48k miles. . Leather. . Nav. . Sunroof for just under 30k but it's got the seats i don't want and sadly black ext, which i hate black vehicles cuz of up keep.

Nope. I'd love to have a set of captains chairs instead of the bench seat I'm stuck with for now.

Is your truck a NNBS? If so, I'd love to work out a trade! I'm also close to you. I'm in the Baltimore area. PM me if you think we could work something out.

I guess it will vary on the daily amount of passengers, but I agree with most. Love them capt chairs! lol

There is no doubt that the captains chairs look better, but a bench works better for my dog. He told me that BTW.

It took me three hours to clean the dog hair out of my truck from the previous owner when I purchased it.

Lol!
You won't find that in mine. Whenever he is going to go in one of our cars, we lay down a big comforter over the back seat and floor. Then it gets a vacuum when we return. I guarantee that my vehicles are cleaner than the vast majority of owners on this forum.

I have a 07 which came with captain seats at the time it was great but then 2 years later my son came along and notice that I lost alot of space with the captain seats when we went away on vacation, so found a bench seat on ebay for a pretty good price and purchased it. Installation was fairly simple i believe it was six bolts that held it down nothing more nothing less seat belts were not an issue. The only problem I have now is getting rid of my captain seats they have been cleaned and shrink wrapped and sitting in the garage all winter and need a new home they are light gray with no rips or tears. Oh I almost forgot 2 things .
1- when you do find the seats u want make sure that the seller has the carpeted cover that goes over the bolts.
2-try propertyroom.com they were selling second row bench seats for 100.00 they came out of police vehicles and they wanted to get rid of them.

Thanks for all the info guys. Found another Z71 this morning I'm going to look at this afternoon and again it's got the capt chairs. White with 60k miles but has the light tan leather. .... not super excited about that but we will see. They want 31k for it.

Oh, my! There are two things I wouldn't let set foot in my Tahoe:

1. Any dog.

2. Any kid.

 

[SWSS]

Captains chairs were a must have for us. We have four very active kids 8 yrs old and under and I can't stand when kids are jumping over the bench up front to get into the rear bench. Captains chairs was nice in our Excursion but even nicer in our Yukon XL with the power button to assist the kids in tilting the captains chair to get in.

That's great. If you ever sell your truck, the next owner will greatly appreciate that. Trust me!

We have 5 kids and opted for the buckets in our Denali. I think it makes it easier for them to get in/out. Although, sometimes I wish we had the bench. Maybe I'll get an extra set to swap out if situation warrants it. Easy enough to do.

 

[tdrumm]

When we were shopping for the Yukon, I was open to either bench or buckets, but the buckets were a must have for my wife. After having them for two years, I'm glad we went with the buckets. As others have said, it is much easier access to the third row, especially if there are car seats in the second row.

We added the GM accessory 2nd row center console which gives the kids room to store their stuff and cup holders that they can actually reach instead of the ones in the bottom rear of the front center console. Plus if you need the access row to the third row the console is easily removed and reinstalled without tools.

Just get a hybrid, they come standard with 2nd row bench.

I would like to have seat sliders on the 2nd row captains!
