Hate area behind rear seat hybrd

[Tcm777]

Does anyone have a solution to the area behind the rear seat? It is an open jumbled mess when you put the seatback down. Any solid ways to cover that with a semi easy way to remove and lock seats back up afterwards? I'm uncomfortable carrying items back there without protection to all the area?

The seat folds down to access the jack and funnel. It's not meant as a storage area.

The Hybrid has the same design seatback area as the EcoBoost. If you want to store things in the cab, get a cover and put them on the back seat, not behind it. I got the IsoFix one off Amazon and it works really well. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0CDCNBCYG

Under the seat might be a better option.

It's just Wifey and I, the back seat is just wasted space in my opinion, the bins underneath are a joke and the seat is always in the way whatever you do.

The seat now lives in the attic, wrapped up in plastic bags. I built a similar box in the PriusV to make a full nearly 6 foot lay down area, this box was attached to the seatbelt bolts and the amplifier bracket, I used ⁷/¹⁶ OSB because I had it and ⅜ plywood for the top, padded it and covered it with upholstery material wifey had, got a quart of paint mixed to the dark purple of the plastics. The blue paint I already had. I added gas struts that really help.

It looks a little junky for you clean freaks but I like it, we can pack a months worth of gear inside the box and have room for the Thermoelectric cooler on top. It's a little over 5 feet across with the armrests so Wifey can nap across it on long trips.

Maybe you can lose the hate a little:

Well its official.
There will never be a satisfied Maverick owner.
I can’t stand the color of the orange electrical wires under the hood. I wish they were purple.

I got a pad intended for dogs. The seatback remains in the normal position. The pad forms a "U" shape and attaches to both front and rear headrests. [I removed the rear center headrest to improve visibility]

The "U shape means things don't fall in any cracks. I put tools on the pad and so far have not damaged the pleather [ActiveX] upholstery. This set up allows me to stow things in the rear seat footwell, the area behind the front seats. Check Amazon and WeathTech for similar items.

I have not looked - is there a dedicated space for the little funnel or do you just tuck it away back there? Mine came in the glove box where it still lives.

Or if you are really cheap like me, you can get one of these beauties on sale with a coupon.

How well do they fit the Maverick back seat, meaning is there lots of extra material or lack of coverage? My moving blanket is doing the job as of now but our pup is getting big and wants to start going on rides ;-)

The funnel that is indispensable if you use an additive to your gas lives in a ziplock bag right next to the PRI-G Additive. Plus I've found a use for the worthless FIT DIVIDERS.

If not using it for like hanging storage already, are you with a Lariat trim with extra speaker/amp and wires, or just talking the normal things there?
(your profile vehicle description is missing the trim level which makes a difference)

You could hang a heavy blanket from the hooks that you just let drop down when time for the seats to lock back up.

But I'm thinking if whatever you are carrying has this much potential of sliding around and catching wires and such from the back area - why isn't it going to slide off on braking and corners anyway.

I've not tested how flat a surface a down seat-back provides, but if that flat that sliding is happening, I'd say foam surface for the "floor" to keep items from moving around.

If it's about you putting something there and afraid of catching wires and such - just be more careful.
