WOW! About to hit 5 years and 1.3 million views. I'm so glad I have been able to help so many people. Thank you to everyone who has subscribed, liked and commented!! It means a lot to me. Please keep it up. I have been away for a while but am back creating new content. I will have new FORD F series videos out soon. Stay safe in these crazy times.

Wow!!! The dealership doesn't even tell you about this! You are the man!!

Awesome mod. Just did it my 2013. You deserve a medal and a place of honor in the history books

dude, this was great. I've had my '13 for 4 years and have always thought the space behind the back seats was wasted... no more. thanks man!

I thank you friend My husband passed suddenly at only 49 yrs old and I now drive his truck. I was afraid to drive it before because it seemed so big . But now I refuse to drive anything else . I see him everytime I look at the truck and trying my very best to maintain it . I just bought new seat covers and your video was very helpful . Bless

I've been looking for a crew cab and researching for months. I finally fought a 2010 f150 supercrew and this is by far the best tip I've seen yet. Thank you!

Holy crap great little hack. Just picked up a 2017 yesterday and it is the same. Took me 5 minutes. That gives you so much more room. Even though this is an old video it is still relevant for the 2017s Thanks

I just got a 2013. The jack and it’s hard storage case were mounted under the seat as well taking up even more room. This is fantastic and I’d never heard of it before. Thank you for sharing!!

I was told it was a big deal to remove seat back, I am thrilled to see how easy it can be. Thanks for sharing this!

Thank you! Had my truck for five years and didn't know about this compartment.

Dealer told me it was impossible for that seat to come down on my 2014 F150, Thanks so much for the info. You are a God sent.

Thank you so much for making this video! I bought a 2013 F150 in 2018 from a Ford Dealer. No owners manual or instructions of any kind came with the truck. I saw a video on KZfaq where the guy said the back seat would fold down. He didn't say how, just that it was very difficult. I went to the Ford Dealer and the Service Manager looked at my trucks back seat and said that my truck seat wouldn't do that. I have been surfing KZfaq ever since, until I found your video. I cannot thank you enough!

Hell, this is worth knowing just to be able to clean the back window without trying to remove those giant head restraints. Thanks for posting this.

Thanks a bunch! Man, thats just perfect for cables, rifle, and a First Aid Kit, just like you said.

Thank you so much. Can’t wait to “fix” something that should have been done when they designed the seat!

This is simply awesome! I've been frustrated with the lack of storage for the utility items (tow rope and jumpers) and had no idea the backs were able to fold down! This solves it all - GREAT TIP!

This video was awesome! Thank you so much. I was just trying to figure out where to put my jumper cables and tow rope without taking up the valuable space under that seat. You're the man!

Sir, you are a genius. Thank you!

Great tip! as mentioned below, I can finally clean the bottom of the back windows. I used a box end wrench to pull the pin initially. I couldn't get enough leverage to pull with my finger, but located the pin and slid the end of the wrench over it and pulled. Worked perfectly.

This is one of the best guy knowledge advise I’ve gotten in a long while! I thought I knew everything about my 2013 crew cab. Thank you!

thanks for the video man! I did the same setup on my truck. I was tired of my tools sliding out from under the seat. this worked out perfect.

Congratulations, you just gave all Ford truck owners a new toy...😝

Thanks for posting this. I have a 2011 platinum that looks just like yours. I will be doing this mod now, thanks to you!

How cool is that! Almost bought the after market fix for over $30!!!! Thanks!!!!!

Thank you for sharing this. I will be doing this tomorrow. Happy Valentine's Day 2018. You have definitely paid it back and helped this disabled veteran be able to finally carry my jumper cables and a few other tools.

Nice!! Plus it makes it easier to clean the rear windows👍 Thanks for the hack-brilliant!

Good video, great tip. I had no idea that space was back there. And your paracord tip is outstanding! UPDATE 1: I did the mod today, easier than I expected. Works exactly as advertised in this vid. Only tricky part was getting fingers down behind the seat--tight fit!--and finding the right place to pull up on the latch. Just took some touchy-feel exploration to figure it out. Looking forward to utilizing that extra, fairly discreet space. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO! UPDATE 2 (Aug 21, 2017): This mod works great if you're only occasionally accessing the space behind the rear seat. I positioned some HAM radio gear back there, along with some other tools that benefited from the discreet storage. However, I found that I was accessing the space multiple times a week, and I couldn't find a solid enough key ring of the right size to fit through the pin. Result: the undersized key rings inevitably bent and distorted from the pressure exerted, and I went through a couple fairly fast. I needed something more durable, and in another KZfaq video came across the F150 Rear Seat Latch Mod from BuiltRight Industries. Ordered two of them, got them quickly, installed the pair in about 7-8 minutes. These are GREAT!!! Not cheap, but they're built well and are classy--what Ford should put into these trucks in the first place. If you're accessing that behind-seat storage only occasionally, then go with the mod in this video from heyjacks. If you're getting into that space repeatedly, you'd probably benefit from the BuiltRight F150 Seat Latch Mod. Just search for them on KZfaq, and you'll find their Installation Guide video, and you'll see what I mean. I don't mean to detract from heyjacks' great video on the FREE mod he demonstrated; it's a GREAT option at zero cost. I'm just trying to let other users know that there's another (albeit more expensive) option for those that need more durability. For the record: I have absolutely ZERO relationship with BuiltRight Industries in any way, except as a satisfied purchaser, installer and user of their product. No fees, no considerations, etc.

man, thanks a ton for this video! i traded in my regular cab for a crewcab and thought i had actually lost space to store stuff behind the seats! great video, thanks again!

Saved me from a under seat truck box, this is actually gonna serve me way better. Thanks a ton for sharing!

Great video. I did this to my 2012 F150 this weekend and it works great. Thanks for a very informative and detailed video, very well done.

This is great. Always helpful to find extra space.

Thank you. Just got a 2020 XT F-150 and it’s been a struggle to figure this out. Very helpful.

Thank you heyjacks! I show to my Daddy that complain of exactly what you show us. No storage inside his 2014 King Ranch. He didn't know it was there, and is HIS TRUCK! I show him your KZfaq video and he is SO HAPPY now! So, thank you!

Brilliant, simply put, thank you os much for this knowledge.

The rear seat back in my 2008 was extremely difficult to remove. Glad to see they redesigned it - I'll be trying this in my 2012 tomorrow!

Recently bought a 2013 Platinum Crew. Did this little hack tonight. Thanks for the info! Nice little storage space.

Awesome hack! I kept seeing all that space that I couldn't even get to. Once I saw this video I immediately implemented it. Works great and now I have a place to keep my hitch etc.

I found that they also made kits for this after seeing your video. I just bought a 2011, so after seeing this you inspired me to do this with mine too. I did some modifications to your set up to dress it up. After cutting the paracord I sealed the ends with heat shrink tape. I then looped the cord in side by side fashion at the ends and sewed them together creating loops on each end for the rings. Then where I had sewn the ends to the main length, covered with another layer of shrink tape. They are functional and they look like they were factory installed. Thanks for the video!

This is awesome! I always wondered why the rear sests didn't fold forward. I just moved all my emergency supplies back there and have a ton of room under the seat. Thanks for posting this, man!

I have a 2017 F150 Lariat. This hack works! I did it and I can now get whatever I need from behind my back seat. My passengers side back seat already has a nice lever to pull and it unlatches, but the drivers side does not. I did EXACTLY what you did and it works! Thanks for posting!!

My lol boy and i just did this. Great find!!!! Any more things to help a family out is appreciated! Thank you!!

that's a great ideal on the paracord to latch, i'll be doing the same on my Ecobeast. thanks

Great to know! Haven't tried it yet on my 2014 supercab but will as soon as it's closer to empty. Thanks.

2009 F-150. I'm 850 miles shy of a quarter million. This is great. Thanks for the video!

Just did this exact thing to my 2015 F150. Works perfectly. Thanks you very much.

Hey brother Very helpful video Thanks

Works Great on the 2015 too...!!! Only change is on the passenger side it already has a loop to pull as that is where the jack is stored The 2015 looks and work the same way. Thanks for the great video.

Thanks for this video. When I bought my 2011 2 yrs ago, I saw your video. Very helpful.

Thanks for this video! I asked my nephew 2-3 years ago, who was a Ford mechanic, if this was possible, and he told me it wasn't. I had a feeling it was. And thanks to you and this video, I did this to mine earlier today.

very smart. thank you

this is awesome I have to say

this is awesome. As soon as I get my truck back from the dealer I plan on doing this modification to mine. goldmine of a video.

You are A'M'A'Z'I'N'G!!!!! thank you!! I just did it this morning!! *Put my cables *My door opener kit to help folks who forgot their key inside their car. * my ratchet and sockets sets.. Awesome!!!!!

Excellent vid, with extraordinarily good use of your little camera. We can actually see what you're talking about! Keep doing these, please!

Glad you found it helpful. Thank you for the positive comment.

This is one of the best tricks I have found about my Truck! Thank you for posting it.

You just made my day I just bought a 2013 crew cab and was thinking it would be nice to get back here and store stuff definitely doing this trick thanks

Thank you! I can't wait to get to my truck to see if I can make this work. I have a 2012 F150 Crew Cab 4X4; I was told that there was no access behind the seat. I look forward to going back to the dealer, once I do your modification..... I wonder what the salesman will say when I show him this!? ☺

I just want to thank everyone for the comments. I was just messing around when I made this video. I can't believe that it has almost 70K views. I guess a lot of people have this same problem / question. I will be making an update video soon that incorporates some suggestions and alternative ways of attaching the cord that others have come up with. It will also cover the 2015 and newer F150's

FANTASTIC video! Thanks! I have a 2013 F150 and I knew there had to be a way for that back to lay down!

I'm glad this video popped up again. I've always thought there has to be a way to get the seats down to clean the rear window. Now I know!! Thanks a lot!!

****FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T, OR WON'T DRILL!!**** All you need is a couple of 1/4" self-locking washers. Put the paracord around the little cylinder, slip on the washer all the way against the knot, pull tight and your done. I personally tied a bowline hitch knot once the paracord was over the backseat, that way you have a 2 finger size handle to pull up on. Then connected to the rear headrest to keep the handle accessible. Overall, this route is much faster and easier. Credit to the poster though because I wouldn't have thought of this otherwise

Thank you for this. I've had my truck for seven years and never knew about this capability.

Thank you for this knowledge and the time you spent refining this so others may utilize this hidden area. You are a creative gentleman and I applaud you.

Glad to pay a little back to the youtube community.

Just bought a 2014 FX4 and was pretty bummed when I couldn't get the seats to fold down. Thanks for posting..I'll fix this issue tomorrow!

been thinking about this exact problem,thanks for saving me from the same struggle.THANKS!

COOL !! Can’t wait to make the modification ! Thank you for sharing!

lol didn't even know my truck did that

only took me 6 years to find this

WOW, pretty awesome. I just bought a 2013 and the when looking at it with my dealer I asked about flipping the back seat forward and he stated they did away with this....LOL. Thank You very much for sharing

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I stumbled upon this while trying to install my new seat covers on my 2013 SuperCrew. Saved me a lot of hassle. You just earned a new subscriber. Thanks again.

People that dislike this video must have a Chevy 🤣🤣🤣

Very nice, I've been wondering if I could get behind them. Thanks.

NICE! I just did this to my 2015! It took all of 5 minutes! Fantastic find!

I had no idea that my truck did this and now it's done. Thanks a ton!

-"Hidden Storage" - 1.2 million F150 owners 👀

I was wondering why the seat didn't fold down

Thanks for this video. Just bought a used 2013 and knew the seat backs go down but couldnt find the latch. Much appreciated. Happy new year

Simple ideas are the best! Thank you

That looks like place for my gun haha

What types of knots did you end up tying on there

Awesome! THANK YOU!! Glad I stumbled on it this morning...

Had no idea this space was available, thank you very much for this information!

I sense ex-military hmmmm........ paracord,' hide in plain sight'! "adapt, improvise, overcome, survive"

WHY does Ford not include this “fix” as a stock feature?!!!

That was extremely helpful and now I have a good place to hide my SBR and have quick access to it. Thank you

Just got a 2014 F-150. I will have to check this out. Thanks for the info.

Great attitude to give back, thanks man!

Thanks for the help. The key ring was a great idea too! This was a big help. Well done!

Thanks bud excellent video! The extra storage always counts!

Great hack man! Just bought a 2010 yesterday and was just trying to figure out how to lower the seats backs, hence my search. And VOILA! Piece a cake!

Amazing. I knew there was a lot of storage room back there, just had no idea how to get to it. You sir are a genius.

Cool thanks for the heads up . I just purchased a13 f150 and I will definitely be doing this

Thank you for the video. I had no idea the rear seats could fold down. Great vid

Man, thank you so much for this video, worked great on my 2009! Instead of trying to pull it with your finger initially you can take a heavy string, make a loop, and put that on the pin to pull it. In fact, heavy string around the pin rather than drilling the hole works too.

Gave me an excuse to go buy a new dewalt drill today! Thanks for the video. Nice to get some of that junk out from under my seat to behind my seat with easy access! This was super simple... Took a half hour tops!

Fantastic idea. I did this in just a few minutes after watching this. Many thanks.

wow, I had no idea of all the extra storage my 2011 black f 150 had. Thanks for showing me.

Wow, thank you so much for the video. I have been wondering for years how to access this area. What a great idea....
