fold flat floor

OK, getting closer yet to ordering truck....Anyone have any comments on the flat folding floor ? Does it just cover the area under the seats ? Or does it somehow extend all the way up to the back of the front seats?

It extends to the back of the front seats. It's pretty handy.

Re:fold flat floor

Got it on mine and love it. It folds out all the way up to the back of the front seats. It's nice having a completely flat rear area to be able to use.

Re:fold flat floor

It sounding more and more interesting. So it sounds like it would make a decent sleeping spot for a night. Is it strong enough to support a person ? Does it also fold up out of the way ? I've only seen trucks with out this option, the have a pretty good storage area under the seat for things you don't want rolling around - so does the flat thing hinge up out of the way with the seat?

Well it's rated to hold 600lbs. of stuff so you'd have to be one big **** to break it

Re:fold flat floor

I ordered it on mine, seems pretty handy. Great for my hockey gear. I believe it is only available with the upgraded premium cloth or leather seats.

Re:fold flat floor

The pain is you can't add it after the fact. Its about $1000.00 bones to do it. I priced all the parts at the dealer. It would be great for some of the side work I do when its raining out to house my material. Maybe Mopar will come out with a kit soon that will be cheaper to add it down the line. <br><br>Add it now is all I gotta say!

Re:fold flat floor

Great, thanks for the info guys. I assume the SLT package has the premium cloth - so I should be able to get it.

Re:fold flat floor

Negative, mister. The SLT does not have premium cloth; it is an option on its own.

Re:fold flat floor

Would be without it ;D<br> Be warned light objects tend to slide around on the smooth metal surface. I have used double sided tape to adhere some non-slip shelve liner to the metal floor works great.<br> You also get storage space under the floor <br>

Re:fold flat floor

I knew I had to have it the instant I saw it. It's a 60/40 split, just like the rear seat, which means you can still have one seat operational, and the rest as flat storage.<br>For me, I leave the small seat intact with the car seat strapped in, and use the rest for cargo day-to-day. When I have more than 1 kid with me, simply fold the seat down and VOILA! It's a family truck again. All without having to screw with the car seat straps. <br>

Re:fold flat floor

I have to agree with everybody here - that load floor has come in handy a lot in just the first 3 months. I'll have to try the non-stick material idea - but other'n a little slipperyness I'm really happy with my loadfloor.

Re:fold flat floor

I just had a thought, when I have the rhino sprayed in the bed I could have them put a thin coating on the load flat 8)
