When we were looking at our 2017 XLT Screw my wife said "I think my AR will fit back there!" and I said I'm sure it will!

I slide mine and my wife's in behind the rear seats from the passenger side by just folding that one down. Perfectly sized opening for them!

lol I have a bunch of other crap jammed back there for now. And they're frowned upon in communist NY so they don't leave the house very often. Just like to keep them away from prying eyes when they do.

One tip for 2017 Owners.......... do not use a protective extendable usb flash drive in the top port of the console.it will allow you to close the door...but due to ribbed support under sliding cover .....the cover will lock up when you try to open the console sliding cover.Had use screwdriver and coat hanger to remove flash drive!!!!!!! An obvious ford design overlook. Hope this helps anyone who encounters same issue.Use bottom usb port....it has enough clearance.

Had an idea. My next truck is a base model 2018 xl scab. There are lots of add ons like a 36 gal tank, tow package etc. but because it's a work truck it only has the basic sync system. My idea was rather than shell out a pile of cash for a new stereo, take the data only SIM card out of my iPad and put it in a spare iphone I have. Then plug it into the sync, stow it in the storage box on the console and forget about it. Now I have streaming music, wifi hotspot, always on gps to locate my truck, turn by turn directions, Siri. What's not to like? I checked online and it looks like you can take an iPad data sim and use it in an iPhone. 10 bucks a month on my plan. If it works I'll have a poor mans sync three. I'll let you all know.
