Well you did not say if you have a reg cab or an ext, but just for the info side of it i bolted a set 2002 exploder seats into my dads truck(2006 ext cab), all it needed was 2 holes in each mounting bracket had to be opened up, and then just power ran.

I have a pair of 99 leather explorer seats in my 96. It was a straight bolt in installation. Only thing extra was the power source for the seats.

If you have any '91-'01 Explorer seats in a '93+ Ranger extended cab, they will bolt in. I have done 4 or 5 swaps in 4 or 5 different Rangers without problems.

If you have any '02+ Explorer seats, you have to remove them from the Explorer seat tracks and bolt them to your Ranger seat tracks.
