Can you swap the passenger seat into the drivers seat?

I am going to say No, you cannot.

I’m going to make a wild guess . . .

Your driver’s seat is “sat through” and you don’t want to pay to get it reupholstered

Mechanically you can.

But if it has power seats, the controls will be on the right side of the seat instead of the left. If it has manual seats, the adjustment for the seat back will be on the opposite side.
