Very Functional, Well Made, Easy Install
This handy gadget makes you wonder why Ford doesn't just add this to their truck from the factory. There is a latch that allows the rear driver side rear seat back to be pulled forward but no easy way to get to it, this solves that issue. Granted, there isn't a ton of room back there, but there's enough to store a tool kit or similar items. The installation is pretty straight forward and can be done quickly using basically just one tool. The trickiest part is initially finding and pulling up on the latch pin so you can put the seat back down to install this item. The end of the latch pin is on the right hand side of the latch mechanism facing the rear passenger door (circled in red in the attached picture). Don't try and look for it on the left hand side of the latch. Once you locate and pull up on the latch pin using the closed end of any smaller wrench (I used a 10mm but you can use pretty much any size) the rest is easy. You remove the two factory torx bolts holding down the latch assembly, attach the supplied strap to the pin, install the frame of this item over the factory latch mechanism, put the latch assembly back in it's spot and reinstall the bolts. That's it. It's important to remember that this item goes on top of the existing latch mechanism not under it. There is a long notch that allows you to slide the frame over the factory latch. The fin looking portion of this item butts up close to the end of the pin so the strap doesn't slide off the end. The materials are sturdy and of high quality. Pretty simple concept but a great addition to your truck.

Quality product from USA company.
This is a solid well engineered made in USA product from American company. It bolts on quickly and easily and works perfectly with no rattling. Anything these guys make is on the top of my list. There are simple directions on the card in the box and it literally took I think five minutes to install, but I had a power driver for the torx screws.

Best Concealment in plain sight
I have bought many Builtrite products in past , no regrets. Bought a new 2026 Ford F150 XLT. Although these are pricey they are worth every penny. They install easy and work exactly as advertised. Took me about 10 minutes to install. Highly recommended! Great use of unused and unknown space. Bad guys will always miss.

Great Product! Easy to open your rear seat that you could not do without this
I’m extremely impressed with this product! Before installing it, the area behind my rear seat was completely inaccessible and basically wasted space. Now, thanks to this clever upgrade, I can easily open the rear seat and make full use of that hidden storage area. It’s perfect for keeping tools, gear, emergency supplies, or anything else you want out of sight but still within reach. The installation process was a breeze. The included instructions were clear, detailed, and easy to follow—even if you're not mechanically inclined. I had it installed in no time with basic tools, and it worked flawlessly right from the start. The build quality of the product feels solid and well-designed, and it fits perfectly without any modifications. It looks like it could’ve come straight from the factory. I also appreciate how it doesn’t rattle or loosen over time, even with regular use. If you own a truck and want to take full advantage of every bit of space, this is a must-have upgrade. It’s simple, affordable, and makes a big difference. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to maximize the utility of their vehicle! Practical & Clear: Must-Have Upgrade for Unlocking Rear Seat Storage Transforms Wasted Space Into Usable Storage Easy Installation – Makes Rear Seat Storage Accessible Enthusiastic & Impactful: Game-Changer for Rear Seat Access! Hidden Storage Unlocked – Totally Worth It! Brilliant Addition – Like It Came From the Factory Short & Catchy: Hidden Space, Now Useful! Simple Fix, Big Benefit Why Didn’t I Buy This Sooner?

Not bad, but not exactly a game-changer either
There’s a strap with a hook on it, a small steel bracket, and a T30 Torx wrench. Doesn’t seem like you get a whole lot for $35. I bought this item out of curiosity. I won’t say I’m disappointed, but I can’t say I’m blown away either. Installation was quite simple thanks to the YouTube tutorial. The product does exactly what it’s meant to do. I get to let down my rear seat backs, and have access to more useable space in my truck’s cabin. Function is not exactly as smooth as advertised. I had to add some masking tape to beef up the latch so that it will activate the hook. I have to really slam the seat back into place to get it to lock securely. As a mater of fact, I also have to hold the seat belt out to keep the restraint from locking in place as I attempt to secure the seat back. Long story short: this item is a novelty, and not a necessity. I won’t use the newly accessible space regularly, but it’s nice to know it will be available for unforeseen circumstances. Is it worth the $35 I paid? Well, that remains to be seen. I think $10 would have been a more fair price for this item, but when you’re a tinkerer at heart…

Great to get access behind seat without tools!
Super easy install to get access behind driver side rear seat. Comes with the TORX wrench and within 5 minutes i had it installed. I did this because I installed an amp rack behind the seat and may need access on occasion.

You REALLY NEED THIS !!! A MUST HAVE for complete storage options !!!!
This is an ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE for your F150. NOW, I've got the behind the seat storage that Ford should have included. VERY simple to install and WORKS LIKE A CHARM !!!! 2 screws, and they provide the Torx wrench in the box, HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!!!!!!

Can't return like you think you can
Just to be clear this looks like a well build quality item but it didn't work for my truck because the fasteners and the mechanic part are not on the same side. That's it didn't work. I made sure like all my purchases it said it was eligible for return but this one was different I had to have it authorized by the seller. Then I have to pay the postage back into the States (I'm in Canada) so there would be customer then I had to pay a min 20% restocking fee or maybe 50% or maybe no refund depending on what they decide. None of that is disclosed when purchasing it. Im not going to spend more to return it it will go in the garbage and I will avoid this seller and contact customer service.
