When will Ford give us reclining back seats?

[m_bt54]

My conclusion is that not a ton of people have done this and shared their experiences. Those who have seem happy with it. I could only find a few examples using this kit. Many others have used this, much more expensive one and seem to like it https://lmiwelding.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=2.

Can’t find any solid confirmation either work with a powerboost.

My dude just spent 7 hours and 16 minutes rabbit holing an obscure product and came back to give the verdict. +1 to you.

Not going to lie. I did sleep a couple hours.

Yea, the one I posted was probably straight from China and the one you posted has an American middle man, lol. The only thing about the one you posted that i noticed was that it added a little bit of lift which the other one doesn't mention. I personally wouldn't want anymore height.

I also do not think there is any difference between mounting points on a powerboost vs other models. I would imagine any metal shop could fab up something totally custom and stronger.

I agree about the mounting. The concern I saw for the PBs was that the battery box under the back passenger seat might get in the way of the hardware. I looked at every picture I could find for longer than I would like to admit and couldn’t come to a conclusion myself. That wouldn’t be unique to the PBs as some other models also have a battery there or I believe an inverter in some cases. I’m also not sure if those have the same footprint or not.

I think the same battery box is used in all trims... the non-powerboost models have battery(s) for their smaller invertor in the same location. Those kits are also on ebay, with a handful of videos on youtube showing installation:

Almost there.

Secure the trunk, slap on a Cadillac hood ornament, and we're there!

Where's the "and do this without raising the price of the truck" folks? I'm sure they'll be along soon.

No thanks. Zero interest in adding complexity, failure points, more weight, and higher costs to the price of a truck.

It's a truck, for God's sake, not a BarcaLounger.

Isn't your truck a Platinum? You're in BarcaLounger territory man!

I love my truck, but one gripe I have is the back seats. Especially at the Platinum trim, the back seats should be able to recline for a more comfortable ride. The seats are just not that comfortable for a long road trip as they sit you up too straight. I’ve seen a few aftermarket kits that say they allow recline capability for F150 back seats. Anyone have experience with those kits?

.....you mean an expedition

my previous Ram's had reclining back seats. it was nice to have but very negligible difference in my opinion.
