Folding Headrests installed

[rwolfcastle]

I did something similar to this on my rear middle seatbelt...

What did you use to do this?

Will they work on the 24 Ranger XLT SuperCrew??

Yes. That's my '24 XLT SuperCrew in the first post. Post 2 has the part numbers for different colored interiors. I don't know if they'd be a perfect match, but the "ebony" is for the dark cloth in the XLT.

Okay thanks wanted to make before I ordered a set.

I used a seat belt clip that is used for small children. I just removed the folding piece of the clip and adhered it to the surface of the wall. Then you can slip the belt under the hook of the clip and remove it when needed. here is the one that ordered from Amazon... $8.99 for a pair or them. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CZPNXMW9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

are the headrests available for leather interiors?

The part numbers in the second post indicate that they are, but I would double-check with whomever you order with. Those parts are just a search for 5G SuperCab headrests that I took a screenshot of. There's a member on the 5G forum who is a Ford Parts Vendor and Sponsor who can answer any questions you might have. He can definitely check the part numbers.

The inability to fold my backseat down because of the headrests has put me in numerous frustrating situations. The funniest was when I had a large pizza that I didn't want to put on the leather, so I tried folding the seat down but the headrests hit the front seats.

I couldn't put it in the bed, the passenger footwell or the backseat. I have a truck and I couldn't even safely transport a pizza! ?

They are removable. I took mine out and store them behind the rear seat.

or I wonder if you could just swap the covers?
You'd need to poke a hole in the leather for the fold button, but might be an option?

Ebony Cloth matches my XLT exactly.

This should cover them all. The '21 and up Ranger SuperCabs had a recall that gave them all folding headrests since the non-folding ones interfered with car seats and unlike the SuperCrew, you can't fold the seats down to take them out.

These look like a perfect match! Unfortunately no such luck for us that have the Lariat model and the Leather interior.

Good info for the community. Which part number doesn't match the Lariat? Let me know and I'll edit my original post to clarify since someone searching online might end up there first.

I used the black "leather" ones from a 5G Ranger. I modified the stitching since mine is black for the black appearance package. The material isn't exactly the same as the 6G Lariat, but nobody is going to be looking that hard.

This one is leather

I found out the hard way that not all the leather 5g headrests tilt.

for example this part number does not tilt.

Did you push the button? Should tilt.

I wasn’t clear, the one in the picture tilts.

this part number does not. MB3Z21611A08DA. It doesn’t even have a button

they are both 2023 Ranger lariat rear seat rests

Only the SuperCab versions from the 5G tilt. There was a recall that forced Ford to change them to tilting models since the headrests interfered with a child seat when installed. The non-folding headrests couldn't be removed at all since the seat in the SuperCab doesn't fold down.
