Default 2012 Tahoe change out of captains for split bench

I have a 2012 chev Tahoe ltz with 2nd row captains chairs. I am looking to swap them out for the 60/40 bench. Is the captains chair on the pas side the same as the chair on the 60/ 40 split. What are the captains chairs worth afterwards. I know it's a semi popular switch. What would be the cost from scratch? Are the rear seats perforated leather for show or do they have cooling too?

Default seats

Only the front 2 seats are cooled.

2nd row is heated if you got that option (I think it's standard on LTZ).

Are you swapping the front row, second, or third, I'm not sure I understand?

Are you looking to swap with someone here or do you just want information to swap them out and you will buy the bench somewhere and sell the buckets.

If you are looking to swap with someone, what color are the seats? where are you located?

And the perforated second and third row is just so they match.

They have prices for the individual pieces but it appears the seats are sold as a unit. Anyone buy a whole seat for the installs?
There are no prices for the complete seats.

You may want to also try ebay.com. There are a few people that post the complete unit on ebay. I am not sure what color you are looking for, but this is the ebony color.

07 13 Suburban Yukon XL or Escalade ESV 2nd Row Black Bench Seat | eBay

Good luck with the conversion.
