[@Rufio11308]

I suppose it’s a compliment to your design that they would copy it, but it’s really frustrating that they can get away with listing a knockoff on Amazon. Ordered an F150 yesterday and I will definitely be picking up one of these and a dash mount from your company. Keep it up

[@BuiltRightInd]

Yea, frustrating for sure. The worst part is that it looks so similar that I'm sure people will order it thinking it will fit, work and last just as well as ours. The world we live in! Thank you for your support and congrats on the new truck! - Matt

[@Rufio11308]

BuiltRight Industries installed this last night, works awesome

[@BuiltRightInd]

You just want to be sure that you ordered from 'BuiltRight Industries' as the seller. No need to worry about getting a knockoff if you do so.

[@spike0226]

Thanks for the heads up, ordered yours from Amazon.

[@dannuthals7045]

I'm a huge fan of this product! It's simple and works great! Please support this company. They created this device, they deserve people's business. F the knock-offs.

[@BuiltRightInd]

Thank you! - Matt

[@tubaplyr4]

I just installed this in my 2018 F150. Best product I’ve added to my truck. This opened up way more space for tools and things that fit behind the back seat 10/10

[@nicholasanagnostou]

I received mine yesterday and just watch your video on the installation and I’m excited to put it in tomorrow. I just wanted to say that there was one thing that you left out in the contents of the box and that was a nice note that made it very personable and stated that you would do anything to make sure the product worked. That is a nice touch and I hope you don’t stop adding that to each box. Good luck and thank you

[@clauswolter3946]

Got the box in the mail - couldn't remember what it was for at first. Installed it tonight - in dark with head lamp. Followed your video instructions and they worked like a charm. Thanks!

[@RadDadisRad]

Very underrated product, this thing saved me so much time and money. It’s definitely worth at least 100 bucks if you don’t know what you’re doing.

[@Chivalry10]

I got mine in just a few days and I must say this is high quality craftsmanship! Easy install and superb dependability! Much better than the mod. I WILL be purchasing another for the other seat. Thanks for the jawbreaker :)

[@BuiltRightInd]

Chivalry35 Thanks for the feedback! Glad the kit worked out well for you and thanks for your support!

[@jerryebner7582]

Ordered two it worked great. much better than the stock way. a must buy for any 150 owners.

[@davidgulbransen6801]

Just installed mine today - works like a charm. The tip about giving it a little space when it is in the locked position was perfect.

[@devinthomas4866]

Ordered your part on Amazon. Arrived in 2 days. Took me 4-5 tries to release the latch by hand, couple of scuffed knuckles, it is definitely a pain to get to it. T30 socket and a 2 minute rear seat release install , worked perfectly Will be perfect place for tow strap, couple tools, Etc. Great product , Thank you

[@objective.perspective]

I had one for my prior F150 and it worked flawlessly. Installed a new one on my 2023 F150 and it works but getting it to latch again takes an act of congress and many curse words - not sure how to adjust to work better. It will be awesome, I know, once I get this one sorted.

[@adambyrne524]

Same! I’m here looking for comments with tips. It’s very frustrating trying to latch it again.

[@krismccarney752]

Fantastic product! I am sort of handy & the video instructions were simple enough for me to understand & install in a very short time. I was debating on whether or not to go with the cheaper version, but decided to go with Made in America by a small manufacturer. I am so glad I trusted my gut. Thank you so much!

[@bobbystarks8899]

Searched KZbin for how to open latch, came across this video and ordered the part. Received it within 2 days. Took me more time to unscrew the screws than this quick install. Very good vid. Thanks.

[@BuiltRightInd]

Thanks for the feedback, Bobby! We work hard to provide the experience that you've had, so it's very much appreciated! - Matt

[@thewalkindude7716]

I got mine today, only 3 days after I placed my order. Install on my 2017 F250 was super easy and it works like a champ. Thanks!

[@BuiltRightInd]

Bad Karma Thanks for the feedback! Glad it went on easy and is working well for you!

[@runningbear721]

Added one of these many moons ago on my 2015 FX4 when it was new. Absolutely fantastic and overbuilt in a good way. Ordered some rear bed panels today.

[@stevenbecker6436]

I just installed built right latch release. 5min install. Quality part for sure. No jawbreaker in my box for some reason... but oh well. Very happy with the product and that it is made proudly in the USA. Thanks. I will be ordering more of your parts in the future for sure.

[@raymondhon4661]

Just ordered one directly from Builtright Industries' website and its on sale! It'll be going into my 2016 F150! Thanks Matt!

[@reissallan]

Amazing product and video. Will be buying this once I get delivery of my truck!

[@sosumya]

So glad I found this!! Been searching other videos and looking for a solution, and this one randomly popped up, will order today!

[@Vince4542Re]

I just recently installed mine. It was easy, now the extra storage space is really nice to have and use.

[@cbeausoleil]

Thanks for the instructions. It worked perfectly on our new 2023 XLT. I did the same thing on our 2011 FX2 twelve years ago using small chain and keychain loop. This is way better!

[@thomassheppard2180]

Mine came in today! Installation was easy, perfect fit! Great quality! American made was a big selling point for me!!! I would highly recommend these!

[@BuiltRightInd]

Thanks Thomas!

[@pullingguard5435]

Just ordered mine can’t wait to install it. Thanks for the help!

[@ericd701]

I purchase directly from your website to be sure I'm getting a genuine product. I will be installing the seat back latch later today, keep up the great work!

[@truthhurts228]

Thanks so much for the excellent product and the stellar install video! I'm going to be installing mine today along with the new steering wheel red stripe. Great job!

[@jamesg5621]

Didn't even know this was an option till now. Just ordered a 2020 and guaranteed one of these will be going into it.

[@gandydancer823]

Yesterday I discovered I could access behind the rear seat for added storage. I had seen some DYI hacks but I liked this better, So does my wife. So I just ordered a pair for my 2010 supercrew cab F150. I look forward to reviewing once I have them installed.

[@joelbosso1331]

Just installed mine. Works great. Total time about 10 minutes. Had to slide the pin in the receiver on the aft bulkhead up to get it latch, but no other issues.

[@Powerstroke98]

Thanks, had to re-watch, to see how it all goes together! Works great. On mine, once installed, I have to lift the bottom part of the seat up a couple of inches, and the back then seats nicely, where I can then click the bottom in. Happy with the product!

[@rodneyavery3537]

I bought a 2009 new it's now 2020 I didn't know the seat would flip forward, thanks Ford!

[@TheWoodLab]

Just ordered 2 for my 2010. Thanks for the clear instruction here. - Jim

[@yourdad2672]

Cool, I'll have to open the seat and see. Looks like you've guys have done the hard work. Thanks

[@mattjhuhn]

Just got mine. Can't wait to get it installed!

[@logan1572]

Very nice apparatus. Hope to buy one tonight / tomorrow. That rack system you now have for off-roading and stuff is awesome. Read your "story". I thoroughly enjoy supporting small businesses. Hope you do well. Though I wish you still had your dad, I have no doubt he's looking down with a big smile knowing he gave you his very best.

[@BuiltRightInd]

Thank you Logan, those are very kind words! Please let me know if I can answer any questions for you! - Matt

[@tcbkkb1]

Perfect in 2013 F-150 FX4! Excellent

[@Thecochenour]

Can’t wait for mine to come in now ready to put my wrench back in my tool box

[@ytbenavraham9553]

Great idea. It's a great place to store the rifle

[@kevinthomson6324]

Picking up my new F150 in a week and am definitely ordering this.

[@reppledger5982]

I received mine on 04/14 and installed it yesterday. AWESOME!

[@BuiltRightInd]

Very glad to hear that! Thank you for the feedback!

[@pehenderson4996]

Installed latch works great! Highly recommend

[@michaelp1109]

Looks like great product. Too bad I can loosen the screws. They are frozen on there. Ugh!

[@shaunnash2209]

Hi Matt purchased mine directly through your company all the way in Kingston Ontario very good quality and great customer service.

[@BuiltRightInd]

Hey Shaun, I'm really glad to hear that! Thank you for the support and feedback!

[@shaunnash2209]

Just ordered your seat bottom accessory mounting panel set off Amazon will throw a video on youtube about both products .

[@scott1lori282]

I just added a loop of paracord to the factory nylon. Grabbing the factory job is ridiculously hard to do but with about 1 foot of paracord you make it ridiculously easy.

[@nathananthony4196]

Bought a new F150 today, sales guy told me about this. Just ordered. Thanks for the great product.

[@BuiltRightInd]

Thanks Nathan! Congrats on the new truck! What dealership, if you don't mind me asking? Would love to thank the salesman and send them some catalogs!

[@nathananthony4196]

Ryan Brecher at Mooresville Ford in NC

[@nan9113]

Yesss! Great video! I’m definitely going to get this for my 2013 F150!

[@triedandtrue1820]

Bought awhile ago, finally installed, slick kit, thanks

[@MakeItCount-wk7xj]

Just installed on my 2018 Raptor! Thank you

[@williamlogue]

After owning my 2011 f150 super screw for 7 years, I only recently found out about this latch. I feel like I missed out on many years of extra storage! I am definitely ordering this part tonight!

[@corpsiecorpsie_the_original]

What are people storing back there?

[@williamlogue]

Tool kit, jumper cables, roadside kit, that sort of thing.

[@gabesview9644]

Just got mine. Tool 10 mn to i stall. Real easy. Solves an issue Ford should have solved. Good job.

[@elijahrobinson2362]

Obviously one can whip up their own strap setup, but this looks nice and finished. Great job.

[@robgianopoulos2572]

On July 03 I ordered (2) kits for my 2009 F-150. My order arrived on July 08 only to find only (1) kit. I contacted Matt and he apologized for the shipping error and said he would send one out the next day, July 09. My package arrived on Saturday July 11. I cant say enough about the customer service from Matt and his team. And I'm very pleased with the kit's. They function great and installation was quick and easy. I highly recommend BuitlRight Industries for all you custom Ford needs. My next purchase will be the bedside rack system. Thank you again Matt.

[@BuiltRightInd]

Thank you, Rob. We strive for perfection, but if we do fall short, we work hard to correct. Thank you for the opportunity to rectify the error and for the feedback! - Matt

[@joewalker1654]

Is your truck a super cab or crew cab? I’d like to install one in my 2010 super cab but can’t find out if it’ll fit.

[@powerboost4057]

A great product and so simple. Love it!

[@RoasterTX]

You guys build some great stuff.

[@wile69abc]

Thanks for the info and product!

[@gibber1944]

I just installed this on my pavement princess. Took about 5 minutes. Super handy.

[@fedscame]

whered u buy em

[@dlivrr]

Very nice fix for this!

[@markkraus3598]

Pass trick worked great! Thanks

[@wyackel71]

After watching video, only took a few mins to install on my 2023 F150 Lariat.

[@user-dv1hf2lb4u]

Worked great! Great product

[@doncolbacchini6776]

Works great on my 2010 FX2. Love it. Should be built with it from the factory.

[@wjgrind]

Don, I disagree about the factory install. Then all would know about your "secrete" storage area. JMHO

[@1025bhelms]

Ordered and received it today and it took about 10 min to install and works great !! Thanks for the video (very simple) and i like simple. Also fast shipping. A++++++++++

[@BuiltRightInd]

Thanks for the feedback and kind words, Bill!

[@nwrp]

Works great! Thank you for a good product!

[@yourdad2672]

I checked it out back there. Factory sub and amp on my 17 f150. But it certainly could make for a good hiding spot.

[@kevinmorley8119]

Beauty. Just ordered mine, thanks.

[@nolanb7150]

Looks good. An extended cab is even more fun to get your hand back there. Seat doesn't come forward like a four door truck.

[@joemonte7140]

Nice product great video easy install!

[@RavancheII]

I just placed an order for one of these for my 2010 F 150 Raptor SVT. You will get another order from me if I find that I need one for the passenger side as well. Thank you so much! Storage!❤

[@fountainofjewelz1844]

Great vid! Thanx for the help. Even the dealership couldn't help me. Really disappointed in Ford for this dumb move. Thank you for a solution, ordering now.

[@Robert8455]

I got mine today, installed in 5 mins, thanks to your clear instructions. Got to tell ya, I am very happy with the quality, shipping and of course the easy access behind the seat. Thanks for the jawbreaker too!

[@BuiltRightInd]

Thank you for the feedback, Robert! Glad everything went smoothly for ya!

[@billhamm9407]

Love mine. You have to be careful and test the latch before locking it and adjust the Builtright plate before putting the seatback it it's place. Also hold the pull tab loop as you put the seat back into position otherwise you have to fish it out from behind the seat with level 1 profanity on a 5 point scale.

[@brianjames3567]

This a well designed product. I did, however had an issue after the bracket was installed. I had to give the rear seat back a pretty good smack to get it to set the latch after several "firm" attempts.....This may help others. (2020 F150 super crew STX 4x4) Cheers!

[@jlguth77]

Just ordered. Thanks for doing the engineering that Ford did not.

[@Markomyt1]

Well done video!

[@armandogarcia195251]

Great information, thanks

[@WhenPigsFlyHigh]

i just installed this on a XLT 2020 and it worked beautifully. My seat does not raise the back so I had some difficulty getting the back down but eventually fished it out.

[@Alexander-qd7nj]

How did you do it? I have a supercab 2020 and I'm struggling right now

[@fernee909]

Great video 👍🏼

[@vid1fl]

literally had to get my son to help me get the darn seat down as he was home from school. Immediately I ordered this kit as I knew if I put the darn seat back I would be dealing with getting it back down again by myself. Installation looks simple enough. Will be getting this done this evening. After that it's the closing of the seat and hoping it sets. Thank you for having this product. Ford should have taken care of this already. No reason why they could not have engineered the same latch on the 40 side for the 60 side. Nonetheless opportunity for Built Right Industries to do right!. After this I'm getting your bed rack system for my 17 Ford F250 extended cab 8 ft bed!!

[@BuiltRightInd]

Glad to hear that! If you have any questions regarding the installation or the bed rack system, don't hesitate to reach out! - Matt

[@vid1fl]

Installed easily and now I can get back in there no problem!! Excellent product!. As soon as I've got the money, I'll be getting the bed rack system. BTW what ever happened to the Hi Jack mount you were prototyping a while ago. Are you still working on that?

[@BearBax]

Fantastic. And I love supporting American small business. Sure, you can make your own for no cost, but how about them American jobs! Fit and finish is great. Install was very easy.

[@warrenlange6106]

Awesome product. I just installed mine. A must buy for the F-150. It's probably the cheapest, practical mod. You can do. 👍

[@fedupmonkey69usa46]

I just bent the tip part of the latch and use a shoe lace and I was good to go, no money required

[@Booksbydad]

Any chance you are planning on creating a rack that attaches behind this seat? I really like the one you have behind the other rear seat.

[@dravosupv]

Good product recommend 👌

[@alcifrerdewich2323]

FANTASTIC

[@felixmc1]

Bought it, installed it, LOVE IT!!!!!

[@Oregun]

Very nice! I just installed one on the driver side of my 2014 Raptor. Super quality product, I'm going to order another for the passenger side. Product request: How about an AR/Rifle mounting system for that space? Maybe something to hold 5 or so PMAGS? :)

[@BuiltRightInd]

texpat Thank you! I think you'll like the project that I'm working on right now. ;)

[@adambrock]

I would love this as well. Would love to put a shotgun or AR back there securely.

[@scottstanton1923]

ok, what is it?

[@jamespray5207]

If you have the Bose system with a subwoofer, then when you pull that seat down you fill find a space-filling plastic subwoofer enclosure and an amplifier and not much other space at all. The passenger side on my 2020 Tremor seemed to have a different latch. Under that seat is a 12v to 110 volt inverter and a pot jack. So no room there either.

[@carterhester6813]

I love the product but now my rear glass window won’t open all the way. Is there something I’m doing wrong because the latch is latched

[@brentlahayne7062]

Can you put on one the single seat passenger side?

[@66skate]

Just installed mine and discovered the scab seat doesn't raise up as the video shows to allow more room behind the seat back. It also has a square end on the latch pin. Once I managed to get the latch released, the rest was easy.

[@jdoino77]

My 2012 super cab doesn’t allow any room at all to see the latch much less the wrench. The seat back does not move at all when you put small seat bottom up.

[@clarkewoodfin]

yep, it works like a champ. Nice job Matt! I did discover that my new Lariat has a power amp and subwoofer behind the 60 seat, but I still get some storage room and it's nice to be able to get to the amp and subwoofer if needed.

[@jamesrodgers2633]

I hope you get rich from this invention!!! I previously did the "home brew" version of this seat latch mod -- you know, with little metal rings and paracord?? Didn't hold up to frequent use. I set up my Ham radio gear/kit behind these seats, and I was getting in there at least weekly; those little metal rings just plain got bent out of shape and didn't work long. Enter the BuiltRight F150 Seat Latch mod!! I ordered two, got them quickly, and took no more than 7 minutes to install on both sides. Works perfectly, and the materials are solid, built to last. You have built a better mousetrap -- every F150 SuperCrew should order two of these to do what Ford should have done in the first place.

[@BuiltRightInd]

Thank you, James! Glad we met your expectations!

[@thebear6751]

Is it only super crew or will it work on super cab too

[@patrickshea4650]

Would this work on a 2006 supercrew? Thanks in advance.

[@osvaldomeza1947]

nice video 👍

[@jairoguerrero1841]

Thanks

[@robertdelvecchio6690]

Love the product, easy to install however; I stripped both bolts. Both bolts were tight, very tight; had to use a set of visegrips to remove both bolts. After that it was an easy installed.

[@He2NawfMemphis]

Is their a right and left or it doesn’t matter?

[@kenmaynard5202]

On my 2023 F-150 XL Crew Cab, the seat back does not tilt forward when the seat bottom is raised. Anyone have any tips on how to reach the latch... much less even SEE it?

[@yrralyou]

My seatback does not move when I fold the seat bottom up. I can't get it away from the cab at all. What now?

[@joewalker1654]

Will this work on a 2010 F-150 Super Cab?

[@joeoquendo4943]

Will it work for 2020 F350 Lariat? Thx
