Cargo Area Under Floor Storage Questions

[Qman68]

Do the legs collapse when the seat is folded thereby taking up the storage space ?

Yes, forward and down.

Do you happen to have a link or part number for that? It appears out Ford Canada site is slow to provide these options, however it looks like the part numbers are the same for both countries. Going to see if I can order this sooner rather than later.

Thanks!

Yes.

My Jeep rear seats work the exact same way, and speaking form experience, at least once a year I get cute and decide to start storing something under there...

...and then inevitably one day I'll go to fold down the seats to load something big in and then the seats collapse, crushing whatever I put in there, or in the very least, forcing me to unfold the seat, remove the item and then refold the seat... cursing the extra step.

So, it's usable storage space, but not perfect.

Would have been so much nicer if the standard rear storage was not accessible when the rear door is closed / locked like the Wranglers. Basically making you buy something (expensive) to get that same security.

Are you sure it doesn't?

Wouldn't a loose tool or jack then be able to pop that lid open and injure someone?

You can tell that the lid for the under storage stops short of the rear gate, so yes, it would be accessible.

In the jeep the lid extends all the way to the rear and under the gate, so when the gate is closed, it prevents the lid from being lifted.

I knew when I saw your "like" I'd get your answer. Seems a little insane to me to let it be able to pop open on its one? bumpy road and it will flap open and close all day? Guess I'll investigate when I get to see one this Saturday

I suspect with its mass and some friction it won’t be popping open on you... same as how your floor mats typically don’t bounce up and down on bumpy roads?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@ZackDanger Random question but is this a Badlands with optional leather? I know it's either badlands or Black Diamond but the leather looks all black... my comment is about the stiching though. That looks like white stitching and not yellow. I understand it could be the camera/lighting but maybe it's an early test of the FE black interior.

Okay, well...

If my pattern recognition is serving me (which is often does), this photograph comes from this event:

https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/thre...room-for-tall-people-in-the-2021-bronco.2003/

That happened in July of 2020... the vehicle is riding on what looks like the standard BL wheels, and has powered seats, so it lends credence to the idea that these are the BL Leather option...

*BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT*

This is still from the days of hodgepodge part bin hand built broncos rolling around with mismatched parts that didn't actually align with any final trim.

So....

There's your answer.

When I look up the part number, this drawer system seems to be 13" high which makes the drawer 9" higher than the back seats folded down, so no chance of levelling the back with this set up.

Totally. Just by looking at that drawer you can tell that’ll happen.

Compare how it looks to the slide out tray which is said to level everything out. (You can see where things fall in relationship to the Nader pin for the rear gate)

I'm waiting for this slide out tailgate for just that. Hopefully we'll hear something on it's availability soon.
