Product R&D Time - Ranger Rear Seat Delete

[MidnightSpecial]

This looks awesome!

I'd be very interested in a rear seat delete. I don't have much use for the backseat and would very much appreciate the extra room. My truck is my daily and dedicated for offroad use on the weekends. It looks like the platform has threaded holes for latch points which is very useful. Here are a few things I would be considering if I were to do this conversion:

- I'd like to fit check to see if I could fit my Gunner Kennel (Intermediate size) inside the cab. Right now I typically put it in the bed which takes up a ton of room. When I am camping with the wife, the dog gets put in the kennel overnight. It would be nice to be able to haul him inside the cab.

- Will this delete the sub or largely affect the sound system? Seems like sheet metal in front of a sub would make a less than ideal noise

- Latch points and access to store/charge a portable fridge. It would be cool to come up with a kit that would put some plug in outlets into the frame so it would be a quick "unplug/plug and go"

- Creating access ports on the back wall. I could see a lot of people considering running an AUX lithium battery which people place inside the cab. It would be nice to have access to run wiring in through the bed as some people have done.

- Lockable storage options on the storage areas would be nice. Smash and grabs are rising. Not everyone has the ability to park in a garage. I know Denver Airport is notorious for break in's. Not a lot of lockable storage options inside the Ranger unlock the F150.

- Custom Seadek options. You can get those crazy margins like Yeti lol. This one is kind of a joke but I bet you would make good money on a few colors of Seadek options. People love customization options and people will put Seadek on everything

I also would like an option for a dedicated space for our dog. We currently use a dog “hammock.” It covers the whole back seat and makes it hard to get to things under and behind the seats.​

We are beginning the R&D process, on Monday, for our 6th-gen Ranger Crew Cab Rear Seat Delete. It will be very similar in design and function to our current Gladiator version. It will be extremely light weight and durable with the main panels being 3mm 5052 aluminum and the support structure being 3mm mild steel. Textured black powder coating and Mil-Spec liner will be the finish options.

More details on the design can be seen on our Gladiator product pages:

• Full Back Wall Version
• Retain OEM Sub Version

You guys have been very helpful with feedback and suggestions while we develop products for this market. We know rear seat deletes are not for everyone, but if this is something you would use, please let me know your use case and what features would make it work better for you.

We will also develop accessories, mounts, etc. that work with this product. Here's what we were working on yesterday as an example.



Here are some photos of our Gladiator version for reference.

Can you message me a contact number?
