09 Rear Seat, Ext Cab, Fold Up And Drop Down?

Sorry for the stupid question but I couldn't find a definite answer in my manual (that thing is approaching the size of a phone book!)

 

On my 09 Seirra SLT Ext Cab, does the whole seat fold up and down or is it just the bottom part where you sit that folds up and down?

I was trying to lower the back part down so it was away from the window so I could clean it, measure it for tint but I couldn't get it too?

In the manual, what I could find, it showed a pull strap that was located on the bottom/under the seat but I could find no such thing.

My 97 rear bench would fold completely down or up, back and seat part.

Am I missing something or is that just the way it is? Thanks........Irv

My 07 Sierra SLE2 EC allows only for the bottom to fold up. The backrest of the seat appears to be firmly mounted... I think this is just the way it is.

 

Hope this helps.

Thanks guy's, wonder why they changed it?

Going to be a "bit" of a pain cleaning the rear window, especially with the head rests on the seats. Oh well, it be worse I guess? Thanks again :D

You can take the headrests off. Just need to stick a paperclip in the holes when you lift them and they come out.

Good to know!

I am surprised the back of the seat doesn't come down? It is not solidly mounted to the rear, mine moves forward slightly like it wants/should come down?

Just curious why they didn't make it solid if it wasn't meant to come down?

      This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.
