Just went and tried on mine, nothing.

 

Here's some pics. Mine is no longer in the truck but you'll get the idea. Pull stright up on the front of the bottom cushion.

 

no man it works. pull up with both hands at the front. comes right up. found where to put one of my amps to. out my 4 channel and a cooling fan from radio shack so it won't over heat.

and for you guys with nav/dvd players also a great placeto place the brain, theres a flap cut so you can run your wires through. i didn't pull it all the way up but part the way and theres a component under it. i think its the body control module if i had to guess.

 

Back to the question @ hand. NO the rear seat doesnt just fold forward. In fact its a PITA to remove the first time. You can mount a couple of amps back there but thats about it. Do a search on Rear seat Removal and you'll see. Took me 4 seperate tries on 4 seperate days B4 i figured it out

I is a lil slow though.

 

Yep the 20 section pops right up when smartly pulled on. Dang, now everybody knows about this.

 

Sorry, I thought this was common knowledge and the only reason I mentioned it was so someone didn't mistake what I was actually talking about. I've knew about this secret compartment almost over a year. You can thank another F150 enthusist from another web site for the info.

Holy smokes, I thought I knew my truck! Now we can have a truly intimate relationship!

 

so is this only if you dont have a flow through console upfront?... and its what would be the middle seat?....

 

This only applies to folks who have no console and the 40/20/40 front seat setup.

 

That's a sweet find! I just stuck my tow strap in there. Thanks for the info!

 

wow! Thats insane! I did not even know about this either! I just went outside to the truck and pulled on the seat and bam, there it is! Thats a cool find! I can't believe I never noticed this before

 

Is this on older F150's as well (2002 perhaps)?

 

no, just one the new style ones. I just looked

 

I had a 2001 Lariat with the console that is rounded in the front, with the two drink holders. If you grab the two drink holders, with your thumb & index finger and jerk up firmly, the complete black plastic piece comes out. I used to stash handcuffs, and my semi auto pistol in there. I can't even remember how I found it. Pretty secure! I wish my 2006 had a stash in the console with easy access to a hand gun.

 

Umm - No offence fellas, but you guys are a little slow. I yanked the 20% section off a couple days after I brought my truck home. Just wanted to see what was under there.

But then again, I also swapped the head unit and had amps installed approx. 4 hours after signing the papers.

E...
