FYI... here are some fantastic carry bags that match the Brunello or Black interior.... 2 for under $20 plus S&H....... nicer than the green Grab Bags...... bigger etc... wish Ford had retained the Bag Hooks under the rear seats from the earlier years... but these do a great job of taming groceries, etc in the back seat..... cheaper on QVC than eBay or Amazon!!

It's cumbersome, but once you figure out how to grip that loop just pull and the seat back will fold down.


Now get a piece of cord, preferably about the same color as the seat fabric (I used a length of black paracord). Tie one end securely to the latch (or it's nylon loop). Leaving a little play in the cord, tie a fixed loop on the free end. I used a bowline knot. Removed the headrest and slide the fixed loop over the post as you replace the headrest. That'll give you an easily-accessible pull cord to release the seat back. Just tuck it behind the seat and it'll be almost invisible, but there when you need it.

Here is how to fold down both rear seats in a 2015 SCAB!

Default Keyed Cargo Tie-Downs

Did you all know that if you remove a keyed tie down in the bed, the base plate accepts e-track fittings? I have a 20' strap with e-track ends that can be used there. Flexibility is good.

I Just looked up e-track accessories. This is really good. Lots of stuff available.

Thanks for the tip!

Is there a way to program the doors to not automatically lock when shut? It's the best feeling in the world standing on the side of the road with a running truck and wallet/phone/keys inside staring back.

Thanks, she made it sound like she added the plate, not that it was factory installed.
