2019 Sierra SLT Crewcab - Rear Seat Disappointment

[hijacker]

I'm not trying to start a debate here, but I just bought a new 2019 Sierra crewcab and one thing that disappoints me is the back of the rear seat does not fold down. I have always owned Ford trucks and on my last one, a 2005 F350 Super Duty crewcab, the back of the rear seat folds down to form a fairly large carpeted cargo floor...in addition, there is a small amount of storage behind the seat. The seat portion of the Ford's rear seat folds up and there is a steel fold-out platform to use for cargo. It's unfortunate that only the seat portion of the GMC's rear seat folds up for a limited amount of cargo. With all the innovated features of the GMC, I'm surprised the engineers have overlooked something this simple.

GM hasn’t had a fold down seat in more than 20 years, if ever. That’s just what they do. I think it’s in most people’s interest to have the seat fold up and give as much room as possible as opposed to a fold down platform, which is really just a protected seat.

I prefer it over the fold down myself. Especially with the extended leg room. Lifting up the seat really opens up the back of the cab.

I’m more bothered that there isn’t seat back storage in all the crew cabs. It seems silly to need multiple back seats for a truck. Youd think just having one part number would be easier for manufacturing.
