Bronco rear seats do not fold down flat? - they fold down ramp

[The Frisco Kid]

Posted this in another’s thread. In this shot, it looks like a latch/lever under the 2 door back seat. Possibly for removing the seats? Or ther adjustments?

which would be a bit wierd, as the specs say identical leg room, but the 2 door does say 4passenger while the 4 doors is 5 passenger. so the seats must be different, just not sure why...

In the 2 door, the rear seats are between the rear wheel wells. In the 4 door the rear seats are in front of the rear wheel wells. That's why the 2 door has a narrower, 50/50 split, 2 seater.

I know we have been going on about this. But unlike the 4 door the seat design of the 2 door is different and it sits on the wheel well. 90% sure now that the 2 door will have no flat storage. Instead the seat will be on quite a steep incline making storage a bit harder.

Pictured is a badlands 2 door from the website snooping thread . Hopefully we can take the seats out! or maybe its all just a BIG misunderstanding

Misunderstanding, they fold flat.

how. The bottom seat is in the way and doesnt have room to go anywhere

 

[duc135]

make sense, still doesnt explain why they fold differently... or maybe they dont,maybe they fold 2 different ways. 1 is a quick "tip forward for quick storage", the other is "fold the bottom, then tip for flatter storage"

It's possible, since it's a shorter wheelbase, there is some type of hump underneath the seats that doesn't allow the seat cushions to fold down. In the 4 door there is a huge empty space underneath the seat cushions where they can fold into. I'm not sure if that space is there in the 2 door or not.

It appears that they fold flat - as in parallel to the ground - but not creating a level load floor from the rear deck up to the front seats. The headreasts revers back and the seatbacks fold forward creating a flat surface... 4-6" higher than the cargo area.

no look at the image. The rear seats are at an incline and have nowhere to go. It CANT fold flat unless the bottom seat cushions are removed

I enhanced the image as best I could. Seems to be the black thing under the seat is a lever that lets you remove the seat from its 'well' in the plastic/rubber floor liner pan. Essentially it would be a crater with the seat removed.

I certainly hope thats the case! But as it stands now you only get an incline if you fold them down

Yeah, I don't see those seats disappearing flush into that crater. lol

Good job on the crater Discovery. Alright aftermarket, make some really cool systems that hook into the craters. Maybe specific fridge mounts, or mounts for the 2 doors, or a generic rack standard.

A high chair that mounts in the crater would be cool too; you could pop out of the oval shaped roof hatch for some hunting lol.

You know someone will take that idea seriously lol
