I don’t want even an extra cab which I have in my 1999 F150 I don’t want any back seat drivers or people making a mess back there.
Hence my two 2 seat sports cars and my El Camino.

I have a crew cab and a passenger has never been in the rear seat.

So why did you go to the extra expense to buy it?

Kennel space for his dogs. Labs love leather.

I wound up removing the rear bench from my F-350 for more room and a lower floor for the dog. My RAM has a nice fold out flat floor you can use with the rear seats folded up. My truck stays that way almost all the time. Its a better use of the space unless you have passengers that need it.

A comment, if you allow, swap out the nice chrome lugs for some black ones, cost should be under $50 if you buy the china ones.
Should probably add some wheel spacers too! Maybe a few stickers as well. SMH lol 😝

Mostly carry groceries in the back seat of my truck. Holds about the same amount as the trunk of the C5. I say mostly because as it's my Winter vehicle there's always a spare hat and some gloves back there, along with an ice scraper. Also used to transport guns back and forth to the woods. Can't recall ever using it for people or pets.

For the space. I keep tools and personal items (change of clothes etc) there.
And 1st aid, roadside gear, shackles and straps, fire extinguisher, firearms, etc...
It is real nice to have dry lockable storage without having a toolbox or cap/tonneau.

And this vvv.

This is why your truck has a bed.

I have several contractor friends who have done this. I like the rear seat because the F250 has a nice large under seat storage compartment and it allows me to use it and the seat for “tiered” storage.

Good idea... Should be able to find some on sleaze-bay. Taking it into the shop tomorrow for a catback system first. The only other thing I want to do is put more aggressive tires on it. But that's for later....
