Morning. New here. Just picked up a 2018 F150 crew cab and was curious if and how people store 3 ton floor jacks in the cab. Anyone keep it under the back seat and what do you use to keep it from rolling around?

Thanks.

Mine is on a simple skid the bed. Will add a photo later, (it’s buried under a load of stuff presently).

I keep heavy stuff in the bed. Too worried about it flying around the cab in a wreck, and beating up occupants.

Probably could find a way to strap it down under a rear seat though.

Bottom view. Tag line helps pull it out when shoved forward.


Handle secured under tonneau with fist grips attached with threadserts.

I put mine in my rear-bed swinging toolbox...along with all other 'towing' stuff. Keeps it in one spot and out of the cab.

I keep mine in a container in the box along with ratchet and recovery straps ... and breaker bar and lug impact socket.

I have a 1.5 ton roller jack in it's box in the bottom of a big plastic storage box strapped to the front wall of the bed, there are flares, work gloves, emergency blankets, a couple extra ratchet straps, some rope, small tool kit, and a lug wrench in there too. I have a boxed 3 ton jack-jackstand combination jack strapped in the bed beside it, I have OEM jack under the rear seat in the stock location in my '07. I have a 4x4 that's 4 feet long across the front orf my bed. I have no desire to carry a heavy 3 ton roller jack too, those have a home in my shop.

I keep mine in the truck’s tool box. I had to make a wood liner for it as the edges ended up cutting through the tool box.

@Barry_Vee maybe I'm missing something, but in a wreck, what's stopping that jack from flying through the rear wall (and the rear seat, front seat, and possibly windshield)? that blue string?

I keep my floor jacks in my garage,...............that's been working well for me since 1966..

Yup. And by the time it fly’s through followed by the tailgate I won’t care.
