    If the seats snap into place, then this will fit no problem. It was designed around the seats geometry and has been tested with the factory cubbies in the truck, and without the factory cubbies in the truck. While it hasn't been tested with a subwoofer model, the subwoofer doesnt extend any further than the cubbies. If it did, the seats wouldn't snap into place. So long answer short: yes it will fit.

    It looks like the front seats have to be slid pretty far forward to allow these to fit? Is that the case?

    Have tall passengers up front who regulary push the seat back as far as it will go, will they still be able to do that with this?

    I am personally 6 foot tall and have my seat slid almost all the way to the back. Does not affect fitment. The passenger seat is slid all the way back almost all the time. When moving the seats back as far as theyll slide, it simply generates a different angle for the folded seats but doesnt affect the platform from being able to be installed. The trucks were designed so that the rear seats could still be folded when the seats were pushed all the way back, so as long as the seats can be folded (which they can), then the platform fits.

    Good to know..now just wondering if I'll be able to make it work with my custom sub box in the storage bin area.

    *temptation to order increases*

    Also, the Instagram link on your webpage takes you to a Wix template Instagram, just fyi.

    As long as your seats are able to snap into place on the rear latches when deploying the seats for passengers, then it will fit it actually would likely still fit if it was close but if you have your seats back there right now and they're locked into position. Then it will fit.

    Also thanks for the heads up, will get that fixed.

    This is brilliant! I'm glad you used the seat anchors for locking. It was an idea I had for a seat delete rattling around in my head. Not sure if I want to wait and see what you come up with for a seat delete (Goose Gear's prices are too crazy for me), or just get this. Decisions, decisions........

    I vote both ;)

    Haha in all seriousness, it will likely be a while before I bring a seat delete option to market. The main idea behind this one was being able to have the functionality of seat delete, and also being able to use the seats for passengers.

    Completely understand! I'm impatient so I may just pull the trigger.

    The next thing coming to market from me is a 40% platform. I have the 100% and 60%. Didnt think there would be too many people needing/wanting a 40% just for the single seat but miscalculated that one so it's in the works and will be the next thing from me.

    Dutch Shepard?

    Also very interested...just debating the 100%, 60%, future 40% and how best it works with the wife, toddler and lab combo!

    Yes, she is a Dutch Shephard! Good eye. With a toddler and a dog, I would think the 60% would allow you to still have the single seat up in the rear for a car seat and the most amount of platform space for the dog to move around a little and maybe even a little extra space for a bag or two in the floor board under the car seat.

    My neighbor just picked up their first Dutch after four Germans. Very slick dogs!!

    Yeah I saw (as I read to the end) you're planning the 40% option, but the downside with the 60% setup is these dang car seats are so massive compared to the minimal space back there...I am short, but not that short, and unfortunately the infant car seat base was too long for the middle seat, so thankfully my wife is shorter and wasn't pinched up in the front seat.

    Looking forward to supporting another TW small business/operation!!

    I think there's a boycott on selling this item to Gregs. That's what I hear anyway.

    Dutchies are awesome but definitely not for the faint of heart haha. They are fantastic and will do WHATEVER you want them to, but the downside is they want to do that every second of every day haha. Good thought on the car seat being too large for behind the drivers seat. If you do decide on the 40% platform, I will keep you and everyone else updated on when that option will be available.

    Thanks...and I guess what @crashdb is saying is he's picking up the full cost of whichever model I decide on...so PM me when you get his order so we can "do the right thing." BAHAHAHAHAHA!!
    Dave I'm sure whoever gets it first will have to be the show&tell victim at the next gathering!! I'm trusting you and your impatient ways beating me and my impatient nature!!

    @Thgr8alex I guess in summary, looks like you'll have at least one near and another shortly thereafter customers out this way!!

    Well if there is a boycott selling to "Gregs", I guess Dave will be buying both his and yours? That's how I understood it...
