Am I the only one? Rear Seat Storage

Am I the only one or does anyone else wish that the rear seats folded down for storage against the back cab? Just a thought

It would be nice if they could do both. Bottom fold up and the top fold down.

I would rather the seat backs folded down instead of the bottoms folding up. They both have their advantages though.

I wish they folded down too! What a waste of space.

Being a dog owner, I love the fold up feature. Would be nice to have the seat backs fold down, but I wouldn't trade the current capability for it.

What is up the the black straps that kind of hang out above the seats... are those supposed to be teather bolts for car seats?

I was bummed when they went to the new rear seat set-up. My previous truck (97) had the fold down, they were great. I , too have a dog. The current set up doesn't provide enough flat space like the previous one did. So I built a deck that replaces the bench of the seat. After modifing the horizontal bar that holds the seat back and removing the child restraint brackets and the middle lap belt, I reinstalled it before the rear bench (or the deck) goes in (from the factory the restraint bar is on top of the seat brackets). Now it's just 4 bolts to swap the bench with the deck or vice versa. Theres also a fair amount of storage under the deck for fishing rods and shotguns.

When I removed my rear seat back I zip-tied those ***** to their brackets so they don't show anymore. I thought about cutting them off but figured I'd probably have a car seat back there one of these days.

i dont know, but do the superCrew's have a similar system like the SuperDuty superCrew where the back seats fold up, but then there is the steel cargo tray which you can deploy to load crap on evenly? i would be interested in seing that feature in the 150's-
