The seat backs of the captain chairs do fold down, but then the entire seat does not flip up towards the front seats like in a Sequoia or Tahoe/Yukon.

Does anyone know if the conversion would be straight forward as to swapping the seats over (along with the middle seat belt) or is the carpet cut differently?

Default Can captain chairs be swapped for a bench seat?

Does anyone know if the captain chairs can be easily swapped for a bench seat? Just purchased a gx460 with captain seats and regret it! Never thought it through with a family of 5, there’s no cargo room with all of us having to have one of the 3rd row seats down always.

Absolutely, and I’m sure tons of people would be very willing. What color is the interior and where are you located? You may want to ask on one of the various GX Facebook groups - especially if there is a GXOR (GX off-road) “chapter” FB group for your area.

You just swap seats and rails, mounting locations are the same I believe. Probably 30 minutes with some wrenches.

Red is a rare interior color. It’ll be harder finding that.

Highly likely ...but frankly haven't heard of anyone actually doing it the last 3 years.

Would love to trade. I actually prefer to have captain seats so backseats are more accessible. Too bad i don't have red interior.

I have a black heated bench and would be happy to trade assuming it’s an easy swap for both of us.
