Sprinter seat height when folded down

Hi guys,

i currently have a E-350 van i am outfitting for camping and i was going to use some 36" wide 2-person sprinter seats for extra passenger capacity. I can not seem to find this info anywhere but i am pretty sure the backs of the seats fold forward and i wanted to know what the height of the seats with the back folded down where. any help would be greatly appreciated as i cant start building the frame work until i get the correct height.

Thanks in advance!

If you want a folding seat-back, you have to go to Chevy Astro seats. I'm pretty sure nothing with integrated seat belts that does this, aside from F150 front center seats. Of course, there's bus seats which do this too, which end up an a lot of Sprinters. If you've seen this before, they were probably Freedman seats.

Oh Yeah! Forgot about SUV seats. 3rd row Expy/Navigator seats as well. But you'd want pre-IRS. Once IRS came out, they became flat-stowing as well. Which could be cool too with the right layout (of course, in a van, it wouldn't be flat. Just much lower).

Hold the phone here... I don't know much about the seats actually. I helped Jsweezy a little with his seat but I don't have the same depth of knowledge of these as I do of the Sienna and Scheel-mann seats. Physical dimensions you'd have to find online or convince Josh to measure out. Sorry...

No worries. I am curious........like a cat. too much so.



I got a buddy with a tahoe at work. I'll steal his keys and go measure it up.


Those seats look terrific.
