    Any seat can fit with the right fabrication skills. is the seat height going to be a problem would be my concern. Don't know, but interested in finding out.

    Is there a bucket seat set up from another vehicle that works well in a Maverick? I guess what I am asking is what would you use if you were changing your Maverick from a bench seat to a set of buckets? I have owned my first Maverick for two weeks now, so I do have a lot of questions.

    I had put 2000 Stang seat in my car to try them. The seat cushion sit a little bit high for my taste using the regular bucket "OEM" seat brackets/tracks. Had I gone w/ the LDO tracks they probably wud have worked out fine.
    I wound up removing them and recovering the stock buckets. Had I kept the Stang seats I wud have had them recovered cuz they were grey, plus buy a set of LDO tracks to hopefully make them work the way I wud be satisfied.
    Im happy w/ my choice of keeping the original hi-backs.
    You might want to consider going w/ some OEM buckets frm someone on the forum unless u've decided to go w/ something custom.

    1990s jeep Cherokee seats are very narrow. they should work well.
