Diabolical Stage + Canvasback Cover

[Drm-hp]

2024 Bronco Raptor

Issue: Cargo area is approximately 4" lower than the seat backs when collapsed.

Solution: @Diabolical Inc "Stage" gives me a platform that is level with the seat backs. This unit also allows for storage under the platform that you is not visible to the outside. The unit looks good as is but I wanted a clean, homogeneous look that would be unifying to the complete truck.
I covered the complete seat backs and cargo areas with a Canvasback cover, and added the flap to protect the tailgate and bumper.
I am very happy with the outcome, functional and very clean.

As a side note, both companies were VERY good to work with. I will recommend both highly.

This looks good for overland camping - which I'm looking to get into a bit. Not sure how well the auto air mattresses work with the hump in the middle with Bronco seats down.

That is what I am trying to show, NO MORE HUMP!

So you threw a blanket in the back of your car, and posted pics of it on the internet ? Um, ok…

Hardly a blanket. Covercraft makes a really nice seat back/cargo liner. The OP obviously has the 4-dr version for his Raptor. They also offer a 2-dr version for those who left the rear seats in place.

How does the Stage platform compare to something like the bamboo bed or similar options?

 

[Drm-hp]

Looks very similar, but Diabolical unit is fastened down, so no squeaks.

These are great examples of the "Bronco Tax".
My solution is still more expensive than it probably should be, but I use the Deep Sleep with the leveling mat.

I sleep in my Bronco probably 15-20 times a year so spending $700 on something like this seems outrageous.

To be clear....I do think these leveling platforms are very cool....just really overpriced for what they actually are.

 

[Drm-hp]

Yes expensive.
Yes I do sleep in it occasionally.
The overwhelming positive is that it allows me to carry inside, locked, things that are just a little to long to be placed in the standard cargo area. Also, I can place small things under the shelf for total concealment.
I just arrived home from my first shakedown trip, no noise or squeaks, everything stayed in place. To clean up I just used my fine particulate garage broom, looks like it did before I made it dirty.

Canvasback is great, their liners are super tough. Dumb question, what do you do with your stuff when you sleep in the Bronco?

 

[Drm-hp]

Mostly I put stuff in doubled waterproof bags, or a cooler on the Pack Mule.
I have also put up a small tent for storage at different times.

I've also put stuff under the rig, just don't try to drive off without a double check
