Default Concerns about SuperCrew

Some concerns I have on supercrew.

Unless you have top of the line, most of the bench on supercrew don't have center armrest(cup holder). Does it bother you guys? Do you have good solution for it? Do you guys also find the seat padding "unsupportive"?

I also not sure which model/trim has rear window defroster. What if have the power sliding rear glass, does it has window defroster?

I think the Tundra provides better solutions for the problem I mentioned. It has center fold down for in the rear as well as rear power glass (up/down) with defroster.

Just get a Lariat, Platinum, or Limited and you don't have to worry about these pesky details.

Problem solved!

On a supercrew Lariat with a bench 40/20/40 split. There is a pull out 2 cup drink holder under the middle section. Feels like you are putting a cup on the floor. Middle rider will have the drink near their feet.

If you fold the middle section down, you have 2 great cup holders and a shallow center console.

Well, I have an XLT that has the power rear window and defrost. I also have the front bench seat and the middle folds down and has cupholders (there is also a cupholder that slides out down near the floor.

The seats are fine to me, no issues with their level of support.

I have XLT / XTR 2012 screw 5.0 145"


I have Buckets and center console, but my slider is manual and I put in Katzkin 2 tone leather and heat.


I found the cloth to be unsupportive, and find the leather holds you up better and has better support way more comfortable......

I noticed that "floor" cup holders also, what's up with that
With my two boys, it's not going to work well

Newtotrucking I agree

Got an XLT, love it, dont mind the cloth although leather would be nice and my do that in the future.

But let me tell you I hate not having the center arm rest in the rear. Dumb as it sounds Id pay a few hundered just get it. Moded the back rest even in cloth, if it looked factory Id pay .

When or if I do switch to leather Id swap seats to get the armrest without question.

Best bang for the bucks would be the XLT. I agree an arm rest without the cup holder is strange. That being said you can now order the '14 STX with the "sport option" that has the cup holders in the arm rest. As the seats go they are very comfortable for me.

Wow, there's a cup holder in the rear seats on an FX4? I have anew one and haven't seen it. That doesn't mean it's not there, just that I've never noticed it....
