Question type: Car Customization
I have an 05 Denali XL and want to swap the 2nd row captains chairs with a bench. I have found several bench seats from the standard Denali, but the XL is more difficult to find. Are they compatible or will it require drilling new holes?

No drilling required as it is a direct bolt on. However you need to obtain a bench from a Yukon XL or suburban. Seats from a shorter wheel base truck won’t line up. Have you found a bench yet and if not what color is your interior (shale tan or pewter gray) and where in the US are you located?
I have found one and mounted it. However, it did not line up as you said. The rear holes were about 3in off the ground and offset. So I took some 3in channel iron, stood it on its side, marked my floor mounts top and bottom, and drilled the channel iron to mount. It turned out to be perfectly level, and more solid than any seat in the entire truck. Lol
Hi, I have a 2004 Yukon Denali and I would like to switch my second row of seats out to bench style so I could carry 8 passengers, any suggestions?
