Has anyone verified this works on '15-'17 SUPER CAB, that's SUPER CAB, NOT Supercrew.

Here is a photo of it in my 2017 SUPER CAB. You can also see what I keep behind there: cross-arm lug wrench, jumper cables, air compressor, can of fix-a-flat, orange anorak. I have added a pair of orange highway triangles since this photo was taken. Following is a picture of the truck so you can see the back doors. (Funny, a bird just s**t on my head.)

Yes, the 2015-2017 SuperCAB has a similar latch on the driver's side. The supercab latch actually has a useless little strap attached to the pin, although they frequently fall off and get lost in the seat upholstery. The only tricky thing with the supercab is that the seat linkage doesn't allow you to lift the seat bottom and gain more room for accessing the latch. It can be done, though.

If you do manage to find that small strap, pull up and towards the front of the truck in order to release the latch.

The rear seat back strap was missing on my 18 Lariat super cab so I used a long box end wrench to hook over the silver release pin and pulled up releasing the back. I installed the builtright release strap that I had on my 2011 FX4 Screw. Perfect fit.

Ya gotta watch those birds, they pick out certain people to do that to. Ask my wife!!! LOL
Thanks for the reply, the photos didn't show up, but I got the idea.

OK, thanks guys, I asked because I never could find it on my '12.
I'll get out there and look this afternoon. That Built Right thingy appears to be what I want. As soon as I find the latch, I'll get an order out.

If there is as much room back there as claimed why doesn't Ford want us to fold the seat down. I have never been able to find a way to get it to fold down on my 2018.
