Seats

[Bill Coen]

I'm looking to put new seats in my Ranger. I would really like to add a power driver's seat and of course, a matching manuel passenger seat. Any suggestions?

Loads of info about Rangers

Look in this section, "Interior Electronics & Upholstery", it has a few articles about changing seats

Thanks

What about energy lost between the PowerPlant (Boiler~Turbine~Generator~PowerLines) & ChargingStation, then conversion from AC to DC?
Taking all that into consideration would be a better comparison of ICE to EV.

Yes, now THAT is the difference to consider

If you are basing the efficiency and "carbon footprint" on the over all difference between ICE vs Electric then there isn't much of a difference, except electric sucks for long range and recharging time, lol

But the practical reality is that oil is finite and the Sun is not, well as far as we humans are concerned
As a group, we power hungry humans, need to find solutions

The first ICE engines couldn't compete with a horse, or even a bicycle, lol
Couldn't go very far and they were unreliable, they SUCKED big time
Yet here we are, loving our ICE over anything else, just like the people loved the horse over ICE

We all love new seats too!

Thats weird, the Quote(from you) and my post was from another thread, "electric conversions", wonder how it ended up here?

I looked for it after posting but just thought it didn't go thru


But OP was asking about "electric seats".................so I am for electric seats, low carbon footprint

I hope to never sit in an electric chair.

I hope to never sit in an electric chair.

It would be an electrifying experience, for sure!

Cousin has one those fancy\expensive massage electric chairs;
sat in it once, felt like being clamped into "old sparky" at the state prison!
Not relaxing at all.

Bill,

What year and floorplan is your Ranger, there are some VERY nice options available.
