Default Interchangeable Seats?

Will seats from a 2008 Durango Limited fit in a 2007 Ram 2500 diesel? If not, what other seats are interchangeable?

Regular cab? Quad Cab? What configuration do you have? I would be sticking with seats for a Ram.

It's a quad cab. I have a friend who wants to give me leather seats from his 08 Durango limited. Mine are cloth and I would like to switch if they fit.

Are the seats that are originally in your truck Electric Seats? That's something else I would be concerned about as well. I would think that the seats would be smaller and possibly wired differently from the Durango.

The fronts might but the rears won't.

Find a friend with 4th gen seats, front and back will bolt in (plus they're just better).

Will the power seat controls just plug right in?

Not as is. To do it properly, unpin the connectors from your original seats and the new seats and insert the pins where they need to go to match up with the truck. Hot, ground, seat belt. All the seat motors come off the hot and ground as does the lumbar support.
