it installs under the rear seat in place of the storage box. the seat still functions perfect as the design is identical to the previous generation. its extremely useful for cargo or gear or dogs or just about anything that you want to keep out of the elements, but off your nice seats.
i put my dogs kennel on it and strap in down so it cant move. very safe for travel. also use it for backpacks, suitcases, gun cases, or anything else i might be traveling with that i dont want in the bed for whatever reason (weather, security, delicate items)

you can "kind of" do that with these trucks. but its not the same as a heavy gauge steel floor that folds out perfectly flat. plus is a 60/40 configuration so you can mix it up between storage and seating. its like having more bed space but on the inside of the truck. damn i love my flat load floor.

well i suppose if the dc plug in the back of the console is inop, and the ac plug is out too, then i would be a perfect place. now im really gonna put some thought into making a mount on the flat load floor. i think you need the spare sitting in my room right now.

I might...I want to see a picture. My jumper cables, tow strap, hitch, gloves and tools fit awful neat under the seats now. Plus, I may end up putting some subs under the back seats. You see, I have a slight addiction to loud music. I'm 41 going on 18.

I don't do tool boxes. Need room for bigger stuff...like emergency visits to the ATV mechanic, hauling Boy Scout camping gear, mulch, and had them on 6 previous trucks and better not ever need one again...ever.

they are funny looking. big ole honkin front end, big ole cab, then a bed that looks like it fell off an f150. just sayin... its all about proportion. besides, thats why ford put 25 gal tanks in em, to deter people who need real trucks from buyin em.
