Dumb question but I've looked and looked. How do you fold the rear seat down on the drivers side? On the passenger side there is a little pull tab but for the life of me I can't find it on the drivers side.

 

There is not latch to pull installed from the factory on the driver side. There is an aftermarket latch kit you can add . https://www.builtrightind.com/produc...r-seat-release

not much back there but I did add the latch for mine if I need to get back there.

Otherwise if you raise your back seat bottom, it will move the seat back away from the back wall and if you look down there you can see the release pin.

 

Thanks NJ250KR! I've about driven myself crazy looking for a handle or release tab. I'll give it a look.

 

Found this 'feature' over the weekend, and ordered the pull tab. Should be here Thursday for the extra storage space. Just enough room for the first aid kit and jumper cables.

I just put the builtright release on mine this week. Works great! Ford needs to make that standard equipment!

 

This video is on the Builtright site, it may help you see how it is done. They offer a 10% off for veterans, with free shipping.

 

strange. my JOB1 came with something like the built right part and i did not see it until i ordered one off Amazon, i canceled my order after they back ordered it and saved myself $35. I did add a small bit of para cord to it though.

 

My Job 1 came with nothing.

 

Ill dig up some PICs I could reach it without the cord but this made it easy.

 

I manually dropped my driver's side seat and found there was very little room behind it. On my KR, it wasn't worth adding the kit for me.

 

Built Right is great, Matt with built right is great too, he addresses technical issues really fast. His bed racks are great as well. I have the seat release as well as a set of bed racks on my SD.

 

I had the dealership drop the the seat. Left it down until I returned home. Took out a small drill bit. Drilled a small hole through the rod attached a split key ring holder. Pulled out some 5/50 cord and made a loop. Closed the seat looped the 5/50 cord around the backseat headrest. This way I never loose the puller.

 

How do I get the veteran discount and the free shipping. I'm not seeing an option at checkout.

 

I did the same thing, then realized how "redneck" the cord looked........thats when I ordered my kit from Built Right, looks factory and the loop end is always there on top.
