Good day everyone. I have a 2000 F250 Crew Cab lariat and was wondering if there is a bracket or a kit that will allow the rear seat to fold flat ( like a table) or up (vertical)? I have found that the 2004 will do this but didn't know if there was something I could do to make mine operate this way. Mine currently only leans forward to almost a 45 deg angle and it is driving me crazy. If no kits are available then will the 04 rear seat fit as far as mounting? Thanks the the time and any answers.

 

Yes, the 04 seat will fit as far as mounting.

No, the 2000 crew cab rear seat will not fold flat or fold up.

If you don't have rear passengers or kids, another option is to simply remove the rear seat and not replace it, which makes for a very expansive interior with a flat floor that is lower than a folded flat seat.

 

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!!

I had the rear seat from an '05 in the back of my '99; my dog hated it, and since he's the one that was back there 99% of the time, I got rid of it. I think the '04/'05 seat has an extra mount point on the front edge, but I didn't use it and had no problems. If you want it, get some hardware and grab your drill, problem solved.

 

At one time there was a kit that allowed the rear to be a sleeper area.

Google might still be your friend on this one.

I have the same year and model as yours, which is why I remember that adaptation, but never had really considered it.

Pop... I remember what you are talking about from some discussions on TDS several years ago. There were a couple of different versions / companies that offered kits.

The idea is to widen the crewcab without modifying the sheet metal in order to stretch the interior width from 72" to a D.O.T. compliant 75" to serve as a "sleeper" for hot shotters and RV transporters. In the end, those with the kit still decided to simply log 10 hours off duty rather than log sleep time in there modified cab "sleepers", because they were subjected to too much scrutiny.

Here's the one that BudMan used, made by Crew Cab Sleeper:



This kit "widens" the cab by installing rear window inserts that stick out a little bit, and elevating the sleeping surface to align with the new "bay" windows.

An alternative design, produced by a different company, may better address the DOT requirement of having a minimum height above the sleeping surface, by removing the rear interior door panels and retrimming them with new plastic panels that utilize the "hollow" inside the dual wall doors.



This kit is sold by Woodhouse Auto Family, and is obviously rather expensive. However, that can pay for itself within 30 to 60 days on the road when comparing the cost of staying in hotels.

If you don't have DOT requirements or rear passenger hauling duties, then removing the rear seat without replacement is one way to get expansive without being expensive. And the deletion sure makes it easier to access any storage trays behind the seat...

 

Thanks guys I appreciate the info and quick response. My problem is I still need the rear seat so I will have to find a way to accommodate. Thanks again

 

I do have to question as to where you would get this holder? I wouldn't mind getting one like this.

 

Hey, Y2KW57 Where is that rear storage wall kit from? I just installed 40-20-40 seats in my 2000 and that storage kit would work perfect. Thanks.

Slow fingers!!

 

That would be the Genuine Ford Motor Company behind the seat Storage Tray and Tool Kit Organization system. Discontinued long ago I think. It was one of the first genuine Ford accessories available back in 1999. The top two trays easily remove and become handy totes via the handle. The bottom large trays are two tiers, and the middle tray removes and slides left and right to lock into two different locations. While I don't have a rear seat installed, it is designed to fit behind the rear seat and fully clears.
