Front seats interchangeable?

Are the front seats on our cars interchangeable with one another? I was thinking that my driver's seat has 90,000 miles of my backside on it, but the passenger's seat only has about maybe 5,000 miles on it. Are the seats interchangeable? The only thing that I can reason about why they wouldn't be is the adjustable lower seat surface that is on the driver's side. Other than that, can I do it?

You can remove the bottom parts and swap it. There are 4 bolts on the bottom that hold them in.

Yeah I believe to remove the seats its a t45, t47, or t50...pretty large. Haven't removed the slider assembly from the seat.

Trust me. I got the breaker bar. My friggin' tool kit used to do lots of heavy maintenance on Chinook helicopters. If needed, I can step down from a 3/4" drive breaker bar all the way to using the torx bits. Can't imagine it needing that much torque, but I'm prepared for the worst case.
