behind bench seat storage??

One of the things I liked about my 2004 (Lariat) was the 'plastic tray' behind the rear seat. It held the jack handle but had room for a lot of little things too. I used to keep extra ratchet straps, zip ties, work gloves, etc back there.

My 2015 XLT doesn't have the tray. Anybody know if the 2015 Lariat has them? Can the older tray be put in there?

I'm also wondering if the fold out metal tray/floor can be added to the rear bench seat. Even if it could, I'm not sure it would work as my rear bench won't stay folded up. Thoughts?

Looking forward to an answer. I have my fire extinguisher strapped down with a quick release under the jack handle screw down. I then just keep a soft sided tool case with my other items in it. Everything else is kept upset the seats in those trays

I've been doing some more research.

Per White Bear, the flat load floor and the storage tray are no longer made/sold by Ford.

Looks like Du-Ha makes a storage tray for behind the seat. The going rate seems to be right around $160. Ordered one up.

There are several threads saying that the flat load floor works in the current model year trucks. I found one post saying to make sure you get the 3" vertical section in front. That was what my 2004 had.

Got home from a family function & the Du-Ha was at the door. FYI, the label on the end of the box says it fits: 08-15 F250 - F550, Crew & Reg. Compared to the oem tray I had in my 2004, the Du-Ha is a much deeper tray. It is also wider than the oem tray. The Du-Ha runs from against the driver's side all the way to the jack.

Rushed to get it in as the sun set. The bottom of the storage tray has two holes in it. One is for the screw that normally holds the jack handle down. The other is for a 'bump' that is positioned between the jack handle & the outer part of the truck. I have no idea why that 'bump' is there. On my 2015 Crew Cab, the hole for the bump isn't positioned correctly. Took the tray back out of the truck & drilled a new hole using a hole saw.

The fit isn't perfect on my 2015. There are two issues I have with the fit.

#1 - On the rear wall of the truck, there is a plastic trim piece that hides/houses the middle position seatbelt. The Du-Ha tray is too tall on the back side to clear that trim piece. The Du-Ha needs to be relieved/cut to clear that trim piece.

#2 - The front (back of seat side) of the Du-Ha may be too high. The smaller fold down section (passenger side) rubs against the tray when folding/unfolding the seat. Although the clearance is very tight, no rubbing with the bigger (driver's side) seatback. This could simply be a issue of where my seat was position on the floorpan when the bolts were tightened. This could also be an issue manufacturing variances on my truck as it came from Ford. BTW, taking care of problem #1 could also be the solution for problem #2.

I'll investigate more when there is light out. Once this is all figured out, I'll remove my underseat bin & install my fold flat floor.

The 2015's with the Sony sound system could be a problem. The amp takes up space behind the seat.

Good point. On my XLT with the base sound system, the only items behind the seat are the jack & jack tools.

That 'bump' I talked about in the earlier post is solely a trim piece that covers a cab mounting bolt. In retrospect, I could have just removed it. The cab bolt itself really didn't extend past the bottom of the carpet.

I ended up removing about 1 1/2" of the forward vertical section of the Du-Ha. I cut little triangles sectons off the ends of the Du-Ha too. If I didn't make the cut(s), it was making contact with the rear of the seat when folding/unfolding the seatback. The Du-Ha did flex out of the way but it bothered me. Even with the trimming of the Du-Ha, it is still much deeper than my old 2004 storage bin.

I have a fire extinguisher mounted in the recess with velcro

Other things could fit as well there.
