A Planted Technology seat bracket for the Ford Expedition, third generation, 2007 to 2017. Part number SB279.
Be realistic about what this vehicle is
An Expedition is enormous. It seats eight, tows several tonnes, and nobody has ever taken one to a circuit. The seat swap on one is not a performance decision.
What it usually is: a driver spending very long days in a vehicle where the standard seat is wide, soft and offers nothing to hold you, or a working vehicle where the original has collapsed.
Which means buy for hours, not laps
A hard competition shell is the wrong tool here and you will regret it within a week. Ask us about the more heavily padded options or a reclining seat rather than a fixed bucket. If the vehicle tows or covers distance, that is the honest recommendation.
The electronics are substantial
Powered adjustment in several planes, memory, heating, side airbags and occupancy sensing. It is a wiring job as much as a mechanical one. Tell us the specification before you order.
Handed, so order twice for a pair.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Lexus Planted Technology Frames Updated For 2026, and Customer Car: Subaru Impreza With Corbeau RRS Seats and Planted Technology Brackets. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is made for the Ford Expedition [3rd Generation] (2007-2017). Chassis code and years matter more than the badge, as floor pans change between generations, so if your car sits near a changeover year, send us the registration and we will confirm before you order.
Which seats does it take?
Check the bolt pattern in the specification against your seat. The Compatible seats tab above lists what bolts straight on. If your seat is not listed, tell us what you run and we will confirm the fit.
Do I keep fore-and-aft adjustment?
Only with a sliding runner between the frame and the seat, which is a separate part on Planted frames. If more than one person drives the car, budget for the runner. Our guide to sliding runners explains the options and widths.
Is this for the driver or passenger side?
Both sides are available on this listing, pick driver or passenger side at the point of order (sides listed are for right-hand-drive cars). Left-hand-drive car? Ask us, as the sides swap over and availability varies by model.
