Product Introduction - Platz-Form - Platforms for Double Cab Tacomas

Good afternoon to all,

I have these posted in the B/S/T section but wanted to introduce them on the general forum as well. I have been working for the past few months on a new product for Double Cab Taco's (both 2nd and 3rd gens). I am pleased to announce they are finally ready after multiple design iterations to ensure a perfect fit in multiple different configurations.

What I have created is a platform constructed 100% out of ABS that is custom fit for our backseats to give you a flat surface once the seats are folded down. This serves multiple purposes such as protecting your seats fabric/leather when your pets are riding inside (hair/claws/etc.), or a flat surface for carrying gear that increases the amount of usable space in the backseat (which also protects your seats), and many others.

The platforms come in two configurations, a full length (covers the entire width of the backseat and weighs right at about 20 lbs.) and a half length (covers the 60% seat when folded, allowing you to still leave the single seat in the upright position if you needed to carry dogs/gear etc. AND carry a 3rd passenger, and weighs right at about 12 lbs.). Like I mentioned earlier, they are constructed 100% out of ABS and install/remove in less than a minute so can easily be taken out if you need to re-deploy your seats in a hurry. Since it is constructed out of ABS, it is also 100% waterproof so can be tossed in the bed of your truck no matter the weather conditions. This is also beneficial if used frequently for pets or dirty gear, as it can be cleaned quickly just by spraying it off with a garden hose.

Each platform will come with specially designed "pop locks" that slide over the seat latches to ensure the platform will not fall forward and fold itself up in hard braking or bumpy conditions.

Please see attached pictures and check out the website I have created as well at www.platz-form.com. I have a couple of each size available right now and more are on the way.

Let me know what you think and if you have any questions! Thanks for looking!

 

What kind of traction do doggy feet get on that surface?

 

If their nails are trimmed, the pads stick pretty well and they only slide or lose traction under extreme braking or turning.

 

Putting the platform to good use today!

 

How does it fit with subwoofer enclosures behind the back seats?? Will it work simultaneously? Great idea!!

 

As long as your seat still clicks onto the factory latches. Then the platform will work with subwoofers. The only warning I would give with this setup is since the platform is made from ABS plastic, the sub sitting directly behind it would likely cause some decently annoying rattling. So if you dont mind this or have the ability to turn the sub off/down while having the platform deployed, then it should be no issue. I just wanted to bring this to light.

 

Used the platform this weekend to get a few more plants to replace ones that didnt make it through the Texas Blizzard a few weeks back. Platform came in handy so the plants didn't get their leaves blown off in the bed, and also was very easy to clean off the excess/spilled dirt on the platform without needing to clean the seats!
