I know there have been questions on how to fold down the rear seatback. I don't remember if anyone had posted pics so here is how its done. With the seat part folded up reach behind the headrest and you will be able to feel the latch that holds the seatback in. At the top of the latch on the passenger side of the latch is a release. Use your thumb or finger and pull up, it doesn't take much pressure, you will feel it release. Once released pull the release handle on the seat bottom and both will fold down.
Here is a pic of the latch.

 

I had no idea it did that. AWESOME!

 

Good, now I can remove the back headrests. Thanks.

 

You save me about 3 hours unbolting the rear seat! Thanks...

 

interesting, just curious why it was designed to fold down like that too? I guess to get to the stuff behind the seat.

 

Sweet. Can't wait to try it. I have really missed that feature. Is there any space back there?

 

Good to know, Thanks

 

Does anyone know if the rear seat back folds down on the Extended Cabs, too?

 

Ruffn-it, I have a pillow and blanket back there. I've been also pondering setting up a rack for my shotgun.

 

Ok I just spent the last 10 mins trying to do this, and I've come up with the following three conclusions: 1. Our trucks differ considerably in how much pressure is required to lift up the latch or 2. You have some serious finger muscles and/or 3. I seriously lack finger muscles. In other words, I can't get the thing to budge at all.

 

hmmm,didnt know there was that much space b ck there

 

Have to try this in my 2009. It would be nice if it could do that as well.

 

Ok so I tried again, this time armed with a wrench. Using the circle part of the wrench I was able to lift the latch up. There's a lot more room back there then I ever thought there would be. I'm pretty stoked because when I got my truck I was excited about the fact that I could easily sleep in the back seat or lift up the back seat and sleep (or other activities) on the floor, but I didn't really know of a good place to store a pillow and blanket. This is definitely my solution, although now I have to go down to the store to buy a pillow. Here's some pictures in case anyone wants to see. And thanks tbraquet for letting us all know. Finding a "secret" storage area in my truck made my day






Put a full-size towel back there for starters

 

You are probably pulling on the wrong piece. You need to pull on the little silver button not the black steel piece. It took me a few times to find the right piece. I opened my rear window to get a look at it. It doesn't take much to get it to move.

Edit: nevermind it looks like you got it. Guess I should have hit refresh before posting.

 

Cegan1825: I would suspect that the first time you might have been trying to lift up on the pin on which the latch attaches to. I did the same thing, in my case when I lift on the actual latch it is very easy and only takes a light touch to release. Also I have found it much easier to get to the latch with the seat raised about 75% up instead of all the way up.
