Extended Cab backseat design

Looking to replace my '99 with a newer extended cab F150. My current truck has backseat bottoms that hinge forward allowing the back of the seat and a metal covering that was underneath to form a nice large and flat surface for transport of larger objects, great design feature in my opinion.

Do ANY of the newer F150 extended cabs have something similar? Ones I've looked at have seats that fold up and support arms that jut out into the open space underneath. Virtually useless in my opinion.

Mine just flip up and lock in place with nothing underneath. No support arms or fold out panels or anything. Seat just flips up and out of the way.

Like JohnBoy88 said the 04 thru 14 extended cab back seats just fold up and have nothing in the way except the trans tunnel hump. Actually the supercrews (the ones with four full size doors) also fold up. If you want a flat floor, look into a 09-14 supercrew cab, the floor is flat all the way across. Also the cab is 6" longer in the back, behind the front seats than the 04-08 was.

I'm just grateful Ford has kept the rear-hinged backward swinging rear door. I hate the stupid half-size front-hinged door Dodge, Toyota, and GM have on their extended cab trucks. The open access to the whole cab is so much better.

I have the Sony Amp and Jack under mine in my FX2 so basically still unusable.
