thats why i wanted to know if they would fit. im hoping that since they are more common they will be easier to find and hopefully less expensive. im not concerned about styling i just want easy access to the 3rd row.The Flex seats match the styling better than the Explorer seats will. If you don't care about that than its my opinion that the Explorer ones are more comfortable and much easier to find since they made about 100x more of them.
thank you again for all your help.
