    The enclosed photo shows a wear spot on my seat that I just noticed:

    Are the seat backs on the driver's and passenger's seat identical and interchangeable?

    If not, what might be a good solution to prevent further wear (short of just not driving the truck anymore.... )? The truck has 90,000 miles on it and is in excellent shape.

    I am not sure if the backs are interchangeable because of the mechanism to fold them forward.

    I would just take it to an upholstery shop and have it repaired.

    EDIT: According to another member, The backs and bases are swap-able, however you cannot swap the base of the seats. You must swap the cushion frame/cushion for the bottom, and the entire back.
