Well, honestly, I didn't do this video to make money. I was just messing around trying to do my part to pay back all the youtube community that I have learned from over the years. I had no idea it would ever make a dime. It wasn't until about a month ago that I logged into my adsense account and realized that I was actually getting paid. It's not a lot but did pay for a new camera and sound equipment. Now I just have to make 100 more million view videos and I can retire.

Good video, great tip. I had no idea that space was back there. And your paracord tip is outstanding! UPDATE 1: I did the mod today, easier than I expected. Works exactly as advertised in this vid. Only tricky part was getting fingers down behind the seat--tight fit!--and finding the right place to pull up on the latch. Just took some touchy-feel exploration to figure it out. Looking forward to utilizing that extra, fairly discreet space. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO! UPDATE 2 (Aug 21, 2017): This mod works great if you're only occasionally accessing the space behind the rear seat. I positioned some HAM radio gear back there, along with some other tools that benefited from the discreet storage. However, I found that I was accessing the space multiple times a week, and I couldn't find a solid enough key ring of the right size to fit through the pin. Result: the undersized key rings inevitably bent and distorted from the pressure exerted, and I went through a couple fairly fast. I needed something more durable, and in another KZbin video came across the F150 Rear Seat Latch Mod from BuiltRight Industries. Ordered two of them, got them quickly, installed the pair in about 7-8 minutes. These are GREAT!!! Not cheap, but they're built well and are classy--what Ford should put into these trucks in the first place. If you're accessing that behind-seat storage only occasionally, then go with the mod in this video from heyjacks. If you're getting into that space repeatedly, you'd probably benefit from the BuiltRight F150 Seat Latch Mod. Just search for them on KZbin, and you'll find their Installation Guide video, and you'll see what I mean. I don't mean to detract from heyjacks' great video on the FREE mod he demonstrated; it's a GREAT option at zero cost. I'm just trying to let other users know that there's another (albeit more expensive) option for those that need more durability. For the record: I have absolutely ZERO relationship with BuiltRight Industries in any way, except as a satisfied purchaser, installer and user of their product. No fees, no considerations, etc.

I found that they also made kits for this after seeing your video. I just bought a 2011, so after seeing this you inspired me to do this with mine too. I did some modifications to your set up to dress it up. After cutting the paracord I sealed the ends with heat shrink tape. I then looped the cord in side by side fashion at the ends and sewed them together creating loops on each end for the rings. Then where I had sewn the ends to the main length, covered with another layer of shrink tape. They are functional and they look like they were factory installed. Thanks for the video!

****FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T, OR WON'T DRILL!!**** All you need is a couple of 1/4" self-locking washers. Put the paracord around the little cylinder, slip on the washer all the way against the knot, pull tight and your done. I personally tied a bowline hitch knot once the paracord was over the backseat, that way you have a 2 finger size handle to pull up on. Then connected to the rear headrest to keep the handle accessible. Overall, this route is much faster and easier. Credit to the poster though because I wouldn't have thought of this otherwise

If the bar isn't at the right height, the latch won't catch. Other than that, I haven't encountered any major problems getting mine to latch. Maybe it would help to lube the latch mechanism with some machine oil (or even better, gun oil / frog lube). Hope this helps.

Thanks for the tip my friend! I would like to offer up a tip of my own. As I have large hands, I did have trouble accessing behind the seat. I used the box end of a wrench to reach down and "fish up" the pin. I did have to lift up while at same time applying a backwards (towards the back window) force. Thanks again buddy!

WOW, pretty awesome. I just bought a 2013 and the when looking at it with my dealer I asked about flipping the back seat forward and he stated they did away with this....LOL. Thank You very much for sharing

Still works on a 2020 f-150, same latch. Great hack, tried it and love it! I used 100lb mono with crimps instead of paracord.

I have a 2016, and I’ve always felt like there was a little extra space back there. And now I know, THANK YOU!!

I have a 2011 lariat and found the latch by mistake when installing seat covers.

I've had my Beauty (2010 F150 SuperCrew) for 11 years and 400,000 km. We have a relationship now, and this will definitely make it even more interesting. Thanks!

I’ve been driving Ford pickups since I was 16. Probably had 10 of them, thought I knew it all. Just bought a new limited that I get to pick up on Wednesday. I can’t wait to try this. I had no idea. Awesome share. Thanks a ton! Shawn Keys

I’m heading out to the garage right now with my drill and my ring and paracord. You’re correct, it is a total pain in the butt to get that backseat down..... now I know how to make it simple because of you. Thanks so much....I really appreciate it
