    Wondering if I can swap 3rd gen seats to a 2nd gen? Looking to upgrade my seats to power anyway and thought 3rd gen seat would be even better. I don't think the overall layout of the cab has changed to much between the 2nd and 3rd gen. I have a double cab with the folding front middle seat.

    So I came here meaning to respond to the thread linked above...but might as well add on to this discussion as well.

    What I've been able to find out after scouring the internet is, unfortunately, not too much. I *think* the seats should bolt in, as I've read in at least a couple places where the floor plan is the same (most of the red of the cab is, so why change that, right?). I think the issue could be the wiring for the airbags and any power setup.

    If someone is able to take measurements and send a pic of the connectors for a 3rd gen seat and the airbag, that would help. The air bag part number is different for the 2007-13 than 2014+, so that makes me a little leery, and suggests you'd need to modify the wiring for the airbag.

    Wait so you got a 3rd gen door panel in a 2nd gen. I have a 2011 double sr5. You think it would work on mine?
