I guess more specifically im wanting to know is that once its folded down, is it still hinged and the backrest is flat on the floor and you can put weight on the backrest or is it simply removed and loose if you will? Hard to explain, but could I sleep on the folded down backrest? If that makes sense.
You wouldn't want to sleep on the seat backs. They would be lumpy even if the seat back latches were not in the way. It would not be at floor level either. The backs fold over the seat bottoms.
The seat bottoms fold up and provide a flat floor if you wish to sleep there or just on the bench seat itself.

Thanks guys, was day dreaming about an air mattress in the back, on top of the backrest and pourring rain outside and seeing my buddy in his tent just soaked lol. Maybe the flat floor will still do. My current 2004 screw has a smaller area and a hump as well so I could never.

You all just made me think of something talking about sleeping in the truck. What if you want the doors locked while you are in there? If you have the keyfob in the truck that means anyone can walk up and pull on the door handle and it will unlock. Correct?

Two things I've found that may/may not be in the owner’s manual:
1. If the truck is off and you just push the start button (not the brake pedal) you go into full accessory mode.
2. While driving, if you get a few water drops on the windshield you can push the round button for the windshield washer fluid very quickly and the windshield wipers will only cycle one time without any fluid being dispensed. Keeps you from having to turn the dial, wait, and then turn it back off.

I am interested in the answer to this as well. Never really thought about it like that but there are a ton of scenarios when you lock your doors and are inside. I mean could a car jacker just come up and open the door at will ?

I don't have that feature so I'm not worried about it, but it does make me curious.

I know on the 13 model that was not smart key I could lock it up with the keys inside the truck. I did this when I would go fishing and use the key pad to unlock the doors. I would think for 15 the non-smart key trucks would be the same if equipped with door key pads.

The truck knows the proximity of the key FOB. If it is inside the vehicle, either locked inside with the truck off or locked inside with the truck on, the door will not unlock by just pulling the outside handle. Someone would either need to enter the code in the keypad or have another fob outside the truck.
