My E99 has the fold flat rear seat. What year did they start putting in the seats that flip up? Your input will be much appreciated.

 

Had to be Late 99 or 2000. Mine fold up

 

Thanks Scott. That narrows it down quite a bit.

Maybe this is one of those "Early 99 Differences".

Anyone out there with a late 99 that has flip up seats?

 

I just texted Ray,and his is L99. his also flips down so 2000 would be the first that flip up.

 

I have to be honest, I prefer the early 99 style better!
I would love to have that flat cargo for hauling my dog or groceries!!!

 

I agree, I like it better also

 

i also found out there is a difference in the rear section of the floor boards in the e99

 

Thanks again Scott.

It's great for dogs and groceries but in the passenger position not as comfortable for people.

The reason I asked about the years is a friend wants to put my style seat in his later model truck, for his dog.

Ditto.

Thanks for the observation. I wonder if this means the two different style rear seats are not interchangeable?

 

Not sure, but when I can , I will meet up with Ray and see if he will let me swap them out to check

 

Thanks, but don't go through the trouble. I can check that out with a friend. But you are curious aren't you?

Edit : Don't let your dogs see the pic I posted.

 

I would love to have the flip down style... The only thing that is ever in my back seat is my dog...

My friends ride back there on rare occasion but they dont like to because its covered in dog hair... LOL

 

I miss that about my E99... It was so much better for cargo, and dogs, and sleeping on if you are in the dog house...

 

Couldn't agree more with you Joe, makes it easier to load up tools and what not. My 01 had the fold ups and I hated that. I really like the 03+ crew cabs that had the seats that folded over I wish my crew cab did it would be nice to have more storage room.

 

i have my subs on my flattened back seat with a ratchet strap holding them in place
1 phillips screw 2 torx and 2 rcas and its out

 

I have the flip up's- '03 and like them, until you compare it w/ having more inside cargo space as this one, folding down is cool!, Good for the dog and the damn cat that cant handle long car rides....BLAH!
