BuiltRight Industries Rear Seat Release

The BuiltRight Industries Rear Seat Release offers users the ability to quickly and easily access the area behind the rear seat of their 2009 to current Supercrew or 2015 to current Supercab F-150 or Raptor.

Many users store jumper cables, tool kits, first aid kits and so on in this space. Installs easily in minutes. Available in multiple colors by following this link, starting at $33 per kit.
