That’s a surprisingly large storage area for things you don’t want rolling around and in the way 95% of the time. But don’t want to be without the other 5%. Extra old clothes is a super smart addition. For rags or a dry set of clothes to change into if temp drops or you get wet.

@F16_viper_pilot 5 месяцев назад

I got this a number of years back. It’s cheap, easy to install, and works great. You can also get some panels with pouches and straps that attach to the back of the seat to hold items in an organized manner.

@michaelsmith-yg4re 6 месяцев назад

Thanks Michael never knew that was there, but that part is $35 now. For 35 Ill drill a hole and put 12ga wire.

In my 2013' F-150 FX4., the subwoofer is under the smaller left seat. The whole back was open and I bought two of the latches a few years ago. . Great idea.

@tedhart7708 10 месяцев назад

My 2014 rear passenger side pulls down as well. I have one of those do-dads on both sides.

@colonel9990 10 месяцев назад

Some previous owner put a bungee cord on mine, 2014 F150 XLT XTR & it's accessed that way. Be a good idea to oil that latch on the back of the seat too. Ours hung open in the lock position and getting the seat to latch back in place was a pain.

@MSmith-jf5wo 10 месяцев назад

Just checked mine, and it was "stuck", too! A little oil fixed it Right UP!

@jdwht2455 10 месяцев назад

Just be aware that all after market latch releases will NOT work on some years F150s. I tried two different brands on my '19 and neither worked as the pull angle need to be "just right'. My release that works is a 2 foot piece of 1/8" para cord that I had for other uses and looped through one of the headrest pins Also. again depending on the model, that space may be partially/fully filled by a sub woofer and/or a 120VAC inverter. My past truck, an F350 CC had enough space plus a woofer that all kinds of things went there If you have the open space, lots of 'treasures' can be stored behind those seats.

On the newer chevy/gmc 1500 2012-16 you can trim the bracket on the back of the upper rear seats and you can easily fold them down I put 4 amplifiers back there in my 14 gmc sierra with room to spare

@stevenmoomey2115 День назад

He Perfectly demonstrated the one fault with this seat release. The Strap is too short, not thick or Rigid enough, so it falls behind the Seat.

If you can’t get your big hands behind the seat to release the latch remove the bolt in bottom corner of the seat back push it back then it makes it easier to get your hands in there and this works for supper duty trucks as well

Nice tool. Unless you have a Lariat with the B&O amp located there, then not required.

@vicc6744 7 месяцев назад

OK I found the 10 dollar one- wonder why the price difference- Thanks for the info

@colonel9990 10 месяцев назад

Not positive of the reason for the shortage area behind the seat, but I think it was for a sub woofer and amp from factory on the higher end FORD trucks. I think it was a King Ranch I saw a video on that had those behind the 60% part of the seat.

@scottlathrop866 8 месяцев назад

Yep, that's where the subwoofer is located on my 2015 Lariat Supercrew.

@damon20r 6 месяцев назад

Yeah, I have a 19 Platinum and the amp and subwoofer are behind the seat. So this would only be somewhat useful on lower trim models.

@pwmorris1963 5 месяцев назад

What is the trick to getting the seatback to latch back when you are putting everything back? It took me forever to get mine to latch and I am still not sure what I did. It seems like I had to line up (by hand) the pin that the latch locks onto.

@wfo711 6 месяцев назад

@EyeBallChief Год назад

I did not have to buy the gadget. i just drilled a hole on the end of the catch and installed a small key ring which is then attached to a string. I just pull the string to unlock.

a loop of paracord is cheaper & faster. You loop the lock & wrap around the headrest post. I can drop my back rest in a second (literally) while standing at the door.

$35 now. Also may not work on the 2019 Lariat as their is a subwoofer and amplifier back there.

@arthurleal2674 7 месяцев назад

I hear you! from 10 to 35. I think I will make some jig for that. There is space back there but not too much. Either way it would be good to be able to put stuff there. Struggled today to open. Ended up putting my arm under the seat and finally pushing or popping it. I was trying to see if I had a amp or sub behind there. Just reading to replace the front door speakers and tweeters. System sound good to me 17 xlt but one speaker going bad - been cranking it up recently. Hopefully I will really like the aftermarket oem - I think they will be better.

The Sub Woofer is under the passenger side seat so it seems this is a wasted space. As of today 2023/08/29 that $10.00 release is $35.00 on that Amazon site. But worth it as the extra storage is great for us 'Be Prepared' junkies.

Not really hidden - it's always been there but the latch is difficult to reach. Several sources on Amazon for aftermarket latches plus quite a few DIY options on youtube and Pinterest. Within a week of buying our truck, I had a latch and now use it to carry a few odds and ends whenever we go camping that I might need but don't want to clutter the seats or floorboards with.
