Q: Switch Captain to Bench

asked by on June 24, 2016

I own a 2008 Cadillac Escalade ESV V8. Do you know if I can switch my 2 captain seats that are powered and heated into a bench? It would be one captain on the right and a double in the middle and left. I am not sure if I can do the switch from a captain to bench. Thank you.
