Default Do an E350 cargo van have bolt holes for rear seats?

I just got a 2011 E350 to pull my camper trailer. It has no rear seats but does have a vinyl floor in the back so I can't see if there are threaded bolt holes for seat mounts without pulling all the trim. I found a 2nd row seat with mounts, but don't know if I can install them.

I don't know. I can tell you that my 94 E 150 does not have bolt holes for seats. The 85 I owned had bolt holes but not threaded ones.

If you are contemplating installing rear seats, keep in mind the bolts through the floor need to have plating underneath to dissipate the force and the same requirement goes for seat belts.

Looks like the original seat mounts through the floor support beams to dissipate the force. I haven't figured out the seat belts yet. I assume they too pass through the support rails.

On some years, the seat belts fasten to the seats, not the floor.

hi, I’m getting ready to install a four seater, can you share where you bolted, I saw so much under the van I was like, whoa😱

Your help would be greatly appreciated.
