Storage for under Front Seats...

[a_bartle]

I've had my Maverick for about a month, just did some carpet vaccuming for the first time last night. I noticed there is a lot of space "under" the front seats, which "could" be used for storage. I did some internet searching, but thus far nobody has anything. I did see a bunch of very similar products made for a Tesla (see link below). I'm going to do some measuring to see if those would fit. If not, there might be some kind storage tub that might fit. Side note, a friend owned a PT Cruiser years ago, and I had a Chrysler van... both had "pull out" storage drawers under the front seats, they were great! I'd like to mimic that if possible.

Not a bad idea! Though as a counterpoint; I've been in the back of some smaller cars that don't have that under seat space and my legs end up feeling cramped. You don't realize how much of a difference it makes to have that space to put your feet until you don't have it. Are there floor vents under the front seats that would be blocked? I suppose if you don't have rear seat passengers very often, if ever, these are irrelevant.

I don't believe there are ventilation vents that would be blocked. I need to do some measuring to see how much space would be available, my idea would be for this to be accessible from the front side (the unit would slide forward for access) so it would not impede on the rear passengers foot room. That was the way the Chrysler van and PT Cruiser was set up...was just a great way to utilized otherwise wasted space.

Here is a pretty cheap one I found made of plastic, however, not sure yet if it fits (Product Size: Approx. 15.2 x 4 x 9.3 in), link here: https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=l&ai...wi6zP7Y0omBAxUUClkFHSYRDykQuxd6BQgBEMAD&nis=8

Would be nice. I currently use that area for my oversized waterbottle to hide in.

Did you find any bins that would fit?

Actually I found a collapsible cloth style box at Dollar Tree that "kind of" fits ok. I put some Velcro on it so it would not slide forward. Hoping one of the vendors would take on this opportunity to make something that fits perfectly...
