Here’s little tiny thing we’d change about our XLT if we could —
Our other car is a Subaru Forester with split fold-down rear seats which have a protective rubber liner on the back of the seats. We can fold one back seat down and have a nice “shelf” to put a takeout pizza box on for the ride home.
So yes, this is our “problem” with the Maverick: No good place to put a pizza box. (Yes, I know … major problem …)
First, the back seat doesn’t fold flat. Wish it did. That would be useful for hauling a lot of stuff not appropriate to put in the bed or under the back seat.
Second, the back of the seat is some kind of papery fabric stuff — Nothing you’d want to put a hot pizza box on anyway, even if it did lie flat.
So only alternative is putting the pizza box right on the seat. Not a fan of that, even with a seat cover, as potential for greasiness. Plus it doesn’t sit flat, so pizza comes home with toppings slid to one side.
(How fussy are WE????)
Thinking of something like a bean- bag bottom lap desk they sell for using a laptop computer on your actual lap. Although don’t know of anything like that big enough for a large pizza box.
Maybe we need a purpose-built box of some sort. Something with rails to keep the box from sliding off, with something like a bean- bag base to level it out when set on the seats.
Don’t think a large pizza box would fit underneath the back seat, even if left open. But haven’t checked. Maybe a FITS pizza box holder of some kind …
