Rear Seat Delete From 2022 Maverick -- Passenger Bench Removed (Photos)

[Deleted member 6262]

Just had a thought as I was looking at this.(well done by the way)

I wonder if two sheets of plywood joined by hinges could work for this without seat removal. I can definitely see the utility of having more storage in the back, especially if there are rarely extra passengers.

In my case I'll need to make sure the grandkids can get back there if needed so the seats have to stay, but a cover (maybe just a pair of those 2 foot by 4 foot pieces of plywood) might work as a solution that I could take out and put in the garage when not in use.

Not sure what might work for you. If you just need to transport pets you might consider a aftermarket seat cover and pet restraints. What I did works best for me and Sally. I am thinking about having heavy duty vinyl replacement seat covers by Katzskin installed in the entire truck. I will be replacing my rear seat bottom soon as hunting season is almost over. Also I am considering selling my Maverick for what I have in it. Its a good little truck but I don't like the shift selector location. Thanks for the compliment. Stay safe.

It looks like this is an XLT. Hybrid or ECO? I don't see the structural steel support that is under the bins (from other photos). Please explain, I like the smooth floor that I see. Im getting my XLT ECO soon and want to prepare for this. Thanks.

I wish the aftermarket would come out with a rear seat delete I would totally do it. I never use my backseat (love the space) but would much prefer it be void of everything so I can customize storage for camping and my fur pups! Don't need people seats back there, take your own car

Mine is still on order but as my spouse in in a wheelchair having a lift build looks like it will better than I thought.. I can just take the seats out when I take it in for the lift. will save me a little on the process.

OP, what would you estimate the net weight loss was, considering materials you removed, minus whatever weight (such as the wood floor platform) that you added?

This is my next mod. Everything including those under seat bins is getting removed and replaced with a custom setup.

Storage and a subwoofer is my goal.

I was going to remove the back seat and build a storage platform . But after waiting so long for the Maverick I just want to get out a use it . I need a flat and level platform for my fridge and EB 70 to sit on . First I purchased a rear seat area protector from Cosco . Then I took a 20 x 48 piece of 5/8 plywood . I screwed a 3 1/2 inch strip to bottom of the back edge . This goes against the backrest . Then two pieces in the front about 19 x19 . they screw to the bottom of the front edge . They sit on the floor foot wells . This gives me a flat and level base . It easily goes in and out ,but you have to slide the two front seats all the way forward . Thanks. I should mention I have a 2 inch level lift on my truck ,so your measurements may very .

Jim, a new chapter with my Maverick. Picked it up Saturday October 30th. It was raining and the truck looked great, water all beaded up on it. Took my dog out to let her run on a WMA here on Nov. 2nd and the fender wells got a little dirty. Washed it on Nov. 4th and while wiping it dry I noticed something wrong with the paint on the hood. I thought maybe it was tree sap, but after looking closer it looks like somebody spewed sand in the the clear coat while it was drying. Took it back to the dealer that day. They have a body shop there and the Body Shop Manager took pictures and is submitting them to FORD. He had term for the damage, something like residual damage from transport or some thing like that. It's on the hood, top of fenders and a little on the roof. It's looks like what ever it is pock marked the clear coat. I am calling Ford tomorrow to find out what can be done about it.

It's called environmental contamination..it should have been taken care of by ford

It's a shame that the rear seat back doesn't fold completely flat like my 2018 escape. So easy. The rear headrests are spring loaded and fold with a push of a button, then I just pull a lever by the seat bottom and they fold completely flat. Easy breezy. Guess they couldn't do something similar because of that fixed bottom storage compartment on the Maverick.

Agree I love that about tge escape Poof and the seats are flat

As a former veterinary assistant, I beg ALL of you to please keep your dog (crate or no crate) out of the beds of your trucks while driving.

Yes

Thanks for sharing, I'd do the same for hunting season.... Except my truck got delayed till 3rd week November from shut downs. I'll be attempting to remove rear seat backing and bench for "Ice fishing" instead. Good luck if you are still trying to remove the back cushion/ find a way!
