Then pull on the seat lever (the one that lowers the seat back) and the whole seat should fold down giving you access to the space back there. The key fob nook is located where your USB ports are up front and remove the rubber lining.

Hope this helps.

How are you using it?
Umbrella on one side and Flashlight on the other.

Thank you guys for all the help on this thread. Picked up my F150 2 days ago, never seen anything like this truck. Kudos to you guys doing all the reading and testing.

I'm not sure if this has already been mentioned but if you have Navigation package you can get it to display both a moving map and still have radio artist and title information displayed at the same time. With the map selected, just turn your radio off and then back on and it'll now show both. I'm not sure if there's an easier way to display this but it's the only way I've found so far.

Is that different than the Sync 'Home' screen?

Haha, no it's not. I was so focused on the buttons along the bottom for audio, climate, etc that I didn't see the home button at the top left. Carry on, nothing to see here...

Duh no way to lay down seat in crew cab that I can find or am I missing something. There are nice storage bins under seat.

Yes... Raise the lower seat UP first. This caused the back to articulate forward a couple of inches.

This gives you room to reach down BEHIND the upper seat. You'll find a latch mechanism.

You can press you face against the window and look down behind the seat (you'll only need to do this the first time, after that, you can do it "by feel". You'll see two parts of the latch mechanism. One part has a C-clip retainer around a pin. This is NOT what you need to pull on. Above and slightly to the driver's side is a smaller pin (prob 1/8" diameter, and sticking out about 1/4". This pin is the one you need to pull up. The slot that it's in is crescent shaped (like an arc) that goes first TOWARD the bed, then curves back toward the cab after halfway. if you try to pull STRAIGHT up, it is VERY hard to pull. If you hook your finger around it from the rear, then pull toward the bed and up at the same time, it moves much easier. After doing this once or twice, you can get it by feel in 2 secs every time. The trick is to pull it to the rear at first so it moves up that arcing track. A good view of the latch/pin/slot can be seen here at 0:17-0:19...

Once you've done this the latch disengages, but the seat doesn't lay down at first until you operate the latch on the lower seat to allow it to go back down. Once you do that, the upper/back of the seat will lay down easily on the lower. There is room back there for tow-straps, tarps, jackets (I keep guitar stands and power strips there too, along with a tarp and rain-jacket !!)
