Rear Seat Release for 2009-2025 Ford F-150 F-250 F-350 F-450 - Olive

In this review the BuiltRight Industries rear seat release is evaluated for truck owners who need quick access to the hidden storage behind rear seat backs on 2009-2025 Ford F-150, F-250, F-350 and F-450 SuperCab and SuperCrew models. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a model-specific, OEM-inspired fit and a no-drill install that delivers reliable access to behind-seat storage using a durable nylon pull strap and bracket. It is a practical, Made in USA solution for owners who want a tidy, long-lasting release without cutting or permanent modifications.

Key Features

• Model-Specific Fitment: Designed to match the 2009-2014 F-150 SuperCrew, 2015-2025 F-150 and Raptor SuperCab/SuperCrew driver latch, and 2017-2025 F-250/350/450 driver latch so the kit aligns with factory hardware.
• Quick Behind-Seat Access: The nylon pull strap and bracket system lets you release the rear seat latch and fold the seat for immediate access to the storage area behind the seat backs.
• No-Drill Installation: Uses existing factory mounting points for a simple install that requires no cutting, drilling, or permanent modification to the truck.
• Premium Build Quality: Laser-cut, CNC-formed bracket with black zinc coating and a glass fiber reinforced composite pull tab provide corrosion resistance and durable operation.
• Made in USA: Patented design is manufactured in the United States to deliver an OEM-inspired look and consistent fitment for compatible Ford models.

Who It's For

This product is best for Ford truck owners who regularly need access to tools, recover gear, or stored items behind the rear seat and prefer a tidy, factory-like solution. Owners of 2009-2014 F-150 SuperCrew may fit two kits for both sides of a 60/40 seat, while 2015+ Supercab and many Supercrew configurations generally use a single driver-side kit for easy access.

It is less suitable for owners of non-compatible years or models not listed, or for those who prefer an aftermarket electrical or remote release system; this is a mechanical strap-and-bracket kit intended for straightforward manual access rather than electronic convenience.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Cons
