I am looking to swap my 2021 Yukon Denali bench seats for captain seats. They are black original leather in excellent condition and are heated and power folding.

I am looking to swap for captain seats, also black leather. Located in Lexington, KY.

Hi, is it possible to do the opposite? Switch captain to bench? We are currently looking for a gmc Yukon xl but they mostly have captain seats and I’ve been told mixed opinions about switching..

Hey, I’ve got a 21 suburban with captains that we are trying to swap to a bench. Black leather, heater, power folding in awesome shape. They have car seats on them, but always covered with a seat protector. I’m up in PA, let me know what you think.

Would you care to share what the leather looks like on your suburban?

Sorry, things got busy yesterday. Leather is in awesome condition. I use chemical guys leather cleaner and conditioner on them. They usually only have kid seats in them with seat protectors. I can get you some pictures of them today if you wanted. We just had our twins so I haven’t had a chance to detail lately, but they still look great.

First set of pictures is driver side captain. I pulled the car seat for pictures so you can see where it was attached close to the latch system. Also don’t mind the rain, it’s been raining all weekend lol

Second set here is of passenger side captain. Same thing, you can see where I pulled the car seat near the latch system for pictures. There is a tiny scuff along the arm rest, looks like right along the pivot bolt. It’s hardly noticeable and I only ever feel it when I detail the seat. At least wanted you to be aware that it’s there.

In full disclosure, seats look amazing! Like I said previously, seats are cleaned with leather cleaner and conditioner. But realistically, we have 5 kids under 4 and crumbs happen. Lol I keep up with them really well, but our kids make a mess and have to shop vac pretty regularly. The seats themselves are super clean, around the base is hard to get every single crumb, so they may have dirt. If you’re serious about swap I’ll pull seats awhile and try and clean the bases pretty good. Just let me know if you’re still interested!

If you guys ended up doing the swap, can you share if it was easy or difficult and any issues you might have run into?

Are you still looking for bench seat?

If going from a 60/40 bench seat to (2) captains chairs, it doesn't appear the floor bolt patterns would match entirely. It would seem only the outer floor board bolt patterns may align but the inner on the 60 (side) would be spread too far apart.

The bolt pattern for the Captains chairs is 13 inches apart, so placing a Captains chair in place of the bench seat on drivers side (being a 60/40 spilt bench) you would have to measure 13 inches over from outer holes and cut threw the carpet to expose the holes for mounting seat. (Provided that all of these GM SUV's made on the assembly line are all made the same underneath that carpet). The mounting distance for the Torx bolts for the 60/40 bench from drivers side, from the door side towards the middle distance is 31 to 31 1/2 inches.
