Onboard door storage with sliding tailgate?

[Dewreckingcrew]

My guess is that the whole part includes the tray inside of a new raised "floor". This will reduce the height from floor to top but I'd be surprised if it was so much that the stored doors would no longer fit. Looks like maybe 5" higher?

I only have this picture to judge off of, but it looks like 5” would be a problem...but does the Bronco pictured already have the slide out?

Honestly, it does not look promising based on that.

For me, losing the under floor storage is a big enough factor to go without the current slide-out tray (at least until a better design is available that makes that area accessible.

I like Aman's ideas to just make something of our own... Don't know how to engineer it to sit on.

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of having both. The under storage for bottle jack and odds and ends... And a sliding assembly to sit on.

Just spit balling here, you could attach the sliders to the rear seat brackets, which would allow you to swing it up to access the compartment and also slide it out. The nice thing about the Ford version is that you don't have to remove any items you have in the rear to slide out the "tailgate".

It shouldn't be too difficult to custom engineer something that will work even better than Ford's solution.

Well, the Ford engineered option will allow 2 people to stand on it, not sure I could pull that off on my own

With the right drawer sliders it shouldn't be a problem.

Ford's design sure is pretty, though!

So I'm wondering... If standard gets me the cubbies, then can you add the slider assembly and cut a hatch into the top piece for access under when slider is extended?

does anyone know the approximate cost of adding the slide out panel and also the tailgate table that drops down?

That HAS to be hinged or removable in some way. We've seen pics of the jack storage beneath the floor. I can't imagine blocking access to the jack or making a secondary spot for it just for an accessory. Maybe the slides/tray mount to the floor at the existing tie down points, then the top just sits/snaps in place.

I agree that they must have engineered it with a way to easily access the jack. Your description of how it should work sounds just about perfect to me.

Will be interested to see how Ford actually tackled this. However, considering it's not going to be available until late next year, they may still be tweaking the design.

Have to say that I am excited about the fold down tray with the Bronco cutout. There are some aftermarket versions for Jeep that are a little more stout and provide storage. Maybe the aftermarket for Bronco comes in spring.

But no way is the slider involved here.

This is what I was thinking. Tie downs removed and the sides of the tray bolted in their place. Slide out the tray and either lift or remove the top to access the storage. Just how easy that will be remains to be seen, but the Bronco does come with tools.

What I haven't seen is bolt storage for the doors and top. I really hope they came up with a solution for that.
