The Ram 2500 average ($222) runs 23% above its median ($180), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.
The Ram 2500 front seat is interchangeable across 18 model years versus just 14 for the Subaru Outback — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.

Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used front seat
- Verify seat track floor mounting bolt layouts, which frequently differ between regular cab, extended cab, and SUV body platforms.
- Inspect bottom seat frame wiring connectors to ensure power adjustment, heated/ventilated elements, occupancy sensors, and side airbags match your harness.
- Check leather or fabric upholstery for seam tears, heavy bolster wear, and verify bolster cushion foam hasn't collapsed or degraded.
- Test manual seat recline handles and power track motors to ensure smooth travel across the entire fore-aft and tilt range.
