Lots of ballyhoo over the rear seat under-seat storage bins, which I think will be very useful. But I have been trying to figure out if the seatback folds down, and if so, how close to flat does it fold? I found the following blurb in the Maverick Order Guide that seems to confirm that the seatback does fold.
Has anyone seen any other mention of this or pictures of back seat folded down?
We have a puppy who loves to ride in the car, so whether in my Focus RS or my Wife's Edge, we fold the back seats down to give the puppy a flat place to ride without her damaging the seats or having to get a seat cover. We put one of her beds down and a water bowl and tether her to the latch hook on the back of the seat. Just hoping that we'll be able to do the same thing if we get a Maverick.
Also, with the under-seat storage, I saw one mention (I thought in an official release) that it could be used as a cooler. Has anyone seen pictures that would confirm this? Would there be a drain hole? Seems like that would be required to use it as a cooler.
And another question about the under-seat storage, what is the thing under the passenger rear seat in this picture? Looks like a bin-within-a-bin with a latching top. Any idea what it is for or what trim levels it is included/available on? The other photos of the under-seat storage show two sections separated by a shallow hump, but don't show this other bin. After zooming in on the pic, it looks like it has a warning symbol and maybe a battery symbol, is this where the hybrid battery is? Doesn't seem big enough, but I don't really know how big the hybrid battery would be. Maybe just access to the battery(ies) under the floor?
Thanks,
Bob
