On my folding jump/middle seat that folds down into an armrest/console my seat belt buckle is digging into the seat bottom when folded in down position.  Am I the only one that's having this happen?  

I mean I can check every time I fold it down I guess to make sure the buckle is positioned where it doesn't dig in but I am forgetful and I shouldn't have to on a brand new truck.  I am afraid it is going to mess up the new leather I recently installed if it hasn't already.  And this issue started before the leather so it did it with the cloth seats as well.  Wondering a way to secure the buckle or something to keep it from digging into the seat when I fold arm rest down.

I put a towel down on the seat surface.  However, I never raise the console so I never see the towel....out of side and out of mind.  Good Luck!

Take and hold the buckle flat against the seat back with your hand while folding the seat down. It looks by the picture that the buckle is straight out hanging down when folded then pushed into the lower seat that way.

yea the buckle gets caught sometimes facing straight down but I am forgetful and was trying to think of a way to secure it where it does face down but I guess its a minor problem just making sure it isn't each time its folded up and down.

I am trying a Velcro strap wrapped around the seat belt and buckle and through the hole to hold it flat to the seat belt in case I forget to check it when lowering the seat back.  If someone needs seat belt they can just undo the velcro.

Always just keep mine as it is below.  The leather cushion was indented for about two months when I purchased the truck.  Someone left it stabbing into the cushion on a test drive or from the factory.  The heat of the day finally just warmed it up and it eventually took the indention away.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
