Installed in 10 minutes! worked perfect the first time! zero tweaks required! Excellent product!
I wanted to like this. But this thing is a POS! you have to fight that bar every single time you try to latch it back. I can see now why they never show that part in the add. Makes more sense to just leave the back seat unlatched completely
Love the new click on feature, install is ridiculously easy! Nicely done Builtright!
Just got mine installed. Video helped alot.
If you are doing this on a super cab remove the bolt in the bottom corner of the seat back and push that corner towards the back of the truck then you can get your hand in there with no problem this works on all aluminum body f serious truck.
Installed mine now my catch pinning eh back of seat doesn’t catch and have to try multiple times before closing.
I just achieved a perfect install thanks to your video!
This product will work on supercabs though still correct?

Easy to install. I have an F350 super crew with the B&O 10-speaker sound system. In my case, there is no available space behind the seat as the factory subwoofer is there. Just pointing out that not all trucks have extra space behind the seat. I installed the quick release bracket anyway but not really useful for me.
Can this be stall in a super cab?
Great idea and video–just ordered one for my 2018 F-150!
What about the passenger side fold down?
Outstanding video detailing how to install and troubleshoot your rear seat release. Without the video as reference I wouldn't have had the easy task so clearly illustrated. Great product and it works well. Wish I had known about your release for my last three F150's.
Hardest part of the install is making sure you are trying to grab the latch to fold the seat forward, and not the sliding bar that goes across the bracket on the bulkhead wall. I was struggling since it’s hard to see. It’ll be an easy latch to pull. So if you are having a hard time releasing it, feel further up the seat because you are trying the wrong thing.
After that it was a piece of cake to install. I installed it on my Ford F150 Lightning Lariat. There is a speaker and other stuff back there so a huge amount of room.
This went in quickly with such great instructions. I did, however, have trouble getting the lock to engage again. This is a Ford issue. I took a utility knife and carved some plastic from the receiver, oiled up all the moving parts. Then it locked into place.
I got one of these and it is great other question what product is the rtic bag on the bag seat
Well worth the money..
Does this product work with 18 f150 xl
Nice job, Matt
Kudos to you for the fix. Shame on Ford to have a release for one side and not the other. Im ordering mine.
I have a 2020 Super Cab and the little strap was back there,but now I can't get it to latch up.(oiled the latch)????
Thank you for the help!
