Getting rid of the back seat center headrest was the first thing I did for my truck.


There is no way you can see to hitch up with it there.

Another thing I noticed over the 06. I always reclined the seat back as far as it would go with the manual lever . Fast Now its power recline and I still can't see the hitch.

Managed to get mine out this weekend. Went with the 2 person suggestion, I hit the buttons and had the wife yank on it. It bounced off the headliner, but we got it out. Also noticed that the rear center one was really blocking my view of the hitch, so they are now both in a closet where they can no longer annoy me. Thanks guys.

2014 F150 rear headrest removal

After numerous attempts at removing the rear headrests, to increase visibility, following all the helpful comments, I grabbed 2 large vise-grips from the garage and preceded to use them to hold the tabs in while I pulled up on the headrest. Job done.

This post was the money shot. Saved me a bunch of aggravation, I just put a seat cover in the rear to keep the dog from tearing the seat bottom.

Re: 2015 Headrest removal

Once you guys told me about the second release button, mine popped right out. Now, I don't have to fool with flipping the console up when I need to access the switches for my emergency lights and siren, plus the headrest was wreaking havoc on my siren unit.

Took my front seat ones off and reversed them to keep from getting pounded in the back of the head then pulled the rear out so I could back up.

Looks like my old Federal PA300 Siren. I had Waaaaaay too much fun with in the old days. I was surprised to see that Federal still made the 300 series.

That's actually a Grote siren- I don't remember the model number.
