What's Under The Rug?

[MB390]

2019, tradesman crew cab.
Whats under this flat spot under the back seat. the carpet does not come up . my gun vault box fits nicely right there in the indentation

My guess is that it is the under floor storage that the crewcabs on other models. I have a mega cab which doesn't have this so cannot confirm for sure

Get underneath the truck and look up.

You know, looking it your pic, and having seen where my brothers storage is on his truck, that may very well be something else, cause it looks like your seat is bolted right into that depressed spot, that wouldn’t make sense.

yah that is odd. my t'man does have the floor blanks for floor storage, but not that, and I just had the rear seat out for the forward tilt mod...

 

[Squatch]

I gotta do that seat mod!

It's for the storage that where the pocket goes

This is a pick of where the "under foot" storage boxes would be, right? The indentation he is talking about is under the rear seat, I have the same indentation and wondering myself.

This has come up recently in another thread.

The indentation under the rear seat (not in the footwells), on a tradesman with a solid bench seat is where the support brackets for the 60/40 split bench are bolted on.

Mystery solved by Brutal. Many thanks, now I know what the indentation is for.

the depression under the rear seat is where the gun vault fits perfectly, theres even 2 nuts to bolt the thing down. Squatch's pic where the storage box is where I mounted my air bag pump/manifold, theres a couple of nuts already there too
