Rear Under-Seat Storage - Aftermarket Options

[EfrainPerez]

Anyone know if the OEM under-seat storage is available for the Crew Cab? Or, if there will be an aftermarket option?
I like the design of the OEM version, but sadly it wasn't optioned on my Big Horn.

Husky Liners makes one. Check out their site.

I personally am glad not to have it... With two carseats in the rear, that would cordon off the space I now use to store my workboots and associated PPE.

I went a little different route with my underseat storage. I'm looking at doing a little bit of overlanding, so I wanted to make sure I had the necessary gear for that, gear for normal trips with my wife and teenagers, and any emergency.

So, I went with five small ammo containers ($3.99 at Harbor Freight or $5.99 at Walmart) under the rear seats. The two on the driver's side are for medical and roadside, and the three on the passenger side are for emergency food, comfort, and tools. I can list the contents of each if anyone wants to know. The containers fit perfectly in the cutouts on each side and hold quite a bit of cargo.

In the middle, I purchased and attached a BuiltRight Industries MOLLE panel that has Velcro on the back. It sticks to the bottom of the rear site and has MOLLE webbing. I've attached two cheap MOLLE bottle holders and some Velcro strips. The bottle holders container a rolled up tarp on one side and a Frogg Togg's poncho on the other. In between the two is a small blanket.

There’s no underseat storage for quad cabs anywhere out there right?

Do you have reclining seats and if so, do they move without obstruction?

Nick sorry for the delayed response, I do not have the reclining rear seats, so i could not answer your question

Today I set out in making my own! Turned out great! Two heavier shelf brackets from home depot that were already painted black. Ripped a scrap piece of 1/2" or 5/8" plywood i had laying around, not osb chipboard. A few short screws I had and purchased some 8/32 machine screws, split washers and wingnuts. Wrapped the plywood in this heavy nylon fabric that is similar to cordura and has a pvc coating on the back, very nice! Two yards of that, only cause i needed the length and staple upholstered it like wrapping a present hiding all staples on the back side and low and also colored them black with a sharpie. Mounted the brackets to holes that were already in the seat mounting brackets. Cost me $20! Alot better than $450 from mopar or $225 from husky! Lol

 

[C.AdamsMo.RAM]

Brackets were less than $5 each and $10 for fabric from walmart and maybe $2 for other screws and hardware.. $22 lol it seems very sturdy and if it breaks or gets messed up in a few years, I'll make another! Haha if anyone has any questions on specifics, I'm happy to help!

It's an interesting option for someone that wants locking storage. It does say it is for the 2019 crew cabs, but it's shown on top of the carpet mats, so it may not work on top of slush mats.

I wonder how it secures? It says mounting hardware included and no drilling.

Here are the installation instructions linked at the bottom of the product page:

I think I like this better than my husky underseat storage cause it doesnt block the slush mats. Great job.

Thanks! I am very pleased with the outcome, looks better in person really! Only took a couple hours. Thought I'd share to help others with a good, affordable option.

For all those interested I can confirm duha storage has an under the seat bin available for 2019 quad cabs. It’s not on the website yet so you’ll have to call and order it blind without seeing any pictures until they have enough to stock all their dealers first. They come in tan black and brown and are 200 plus free shipping. Ordered mine and will post pictures once it’s delivered and installed

Thanks for the heads up! Anxious to see how these look and if they’re worth the price. Keep us posted on arrival! Looking forward to some photos.

I will be following your evaluation of the quad cab storage unit. I called them in January and was told they were working on this unit.

Well, I got a little industrious this afternoon and resolved my under-seat storage issue for $9....yes, nine dollars!

If you have an accessible Home Depot, a utility knife (or preferably a Dremel tool), tape measure, a few screws and 45 minutes, you can build your storage as the pictures indicate below...they are removable in 3 minutes with only 2 small screws...

Before (no under-seat storage):
View attachment 12435
$9 plastic storage bin from Home Depot (this one is the right width):
View attachment 12433
Mark a line 7" down from the top lip and cut all the way around with a dremmel bit or utility knife, then cut the short ends of the bin in half as shown:
View attachment 12436 View attachment 12439
Fit the two pieces in the floorboard and cut the angles to fit the under-seat bump in the middle (this allows the frame to sit flat):
View attachment 12444 View attachment 12445
Flip over and screw the 2 pieces together in the middle for stability, then place in the truck, screw a flat head screw into the plastic cover on each end of the bench seat (the screws are silver in the photo), then tie the center back to the D ring that is under the rear seat to keep the frame in place (I used tie straps, but plan to use a small bungie once acquired).

Finished Product:

This was too easy and more than serves my purposes as they will work with my WeatherTech floor mats that I'm ordering soon.

I hope this helps someone out there who didn't want to drop $180+ for storage.

I love it, and I did it.

I checked in with Husky today and was told about 4-weeks until the Quad cab version is for sale. I'll be first in line!
