I want to remove my driver's seat to modify the padding. The only video online I found showed that both seats and the center console came out as a unit. Several people in comments complained about how they weren't separable.

At some point in time they were separate. Any advice on how to best do this?

If you only need to remove the padding, I know the bottom part can be removed with the seat in the truck. I’ve done it twice, once to replace the foam and again to install a seat heater.

Man, that's good to hear; never would have thought. Yes, I only need to modify the foam to get some pressure off my tailbone. Is it pretty obvious - just start with removing trim and use your head?

I have done the same. Can't remember the details, but I think you have to slide the seat bottom to certain positions to access four bolts (or nuts), but it is an easy task.

I think you remove that side trim piece, but slide the seat back and get the two rear bolts and then forward to get the front two. Getting it back on and lined up can be a little tricky but certainly not difficult.

Thanks. Now I see if I'd searched for "replacing seat cushion...", I'd have found several videos and writeups. Oddly enough, the ones I saw didn't go the route of removing those hex-head screws that hold the seat bottom to the seat frame. Y'all were right. Easy access to those 4 and it comes right off.
