Built a rear platform for cargo, dog and sleeping

[Tmizzle]

I built a rear platform that bolts into existing tie down locations. It is out of wood, I used 3/4 inch oak plywood for strength and coated it with the spray can version of Bed liner. Features are:

- Just high enough to store two Rigid boxes underneath
- Still have access to factory back storage
- embedded E-track, 6 points removable tie downs or any E Track attachment.
-On the front of the platform I added a plate with rare earth magnets to attach another panel for a completely flat sleeping surface

I love the look of the factory slide out tailgate, but it looks like that option will be a late 2022 option. I built something like this for my Jeep Commander after removing the (useless to me) 3rd row seats. It's a good way to hide valuables and after market stereo equipment.

My Vizsla was the best dog I've ever had. RIP Lily.

Well done! Can't wait to do similar with my 4 door deleting the rear seats.

She gets in no problem but she's 42 pounds and limber

Excellent work, thanks for sharing.

Very cool! Well done

That's a excellent platform idea with no compromise of your rearward Vizslability

Nicely done! Was thinking of doing something similar myself. Do you have an pics with the other panel installed?

 

[Ryuk]

I like it and your puppy.
Well done

Nice work! I'm still waiting a bit for after market, I'd prefer a drawer underneath (and also want to see that security drawer Ford offers in person), but I'll end up with something similar eventually, either self built of bought.
I plan on a couple longer trips next year, where I'll definitely be sleeping inside the truck at least some of the nights.
Thanks for sharing!
