While our solution is nothing particularly unique, it works very well for us. I have a platform across the back that is constructed in two sections....The platform is in two sections for this reason: like Ronin, I too left the 1/3 seat in place. In the folded position it doesn't take up too much space.

I've got a very similar setup to yours (2018 F150 Supercab +FWC Hawk) and am very interested to see the platform from the top view or as it appears once removed from the cab. I'd very much like to do something like this and could use some design inspiration. That said, if it's a pain to access and remove, I understand. Alex

Have dog will travel. Took out seats and made a platform with an additional 1" riser. In this I store my flex 100 watt solar panel. Dog gets half and the other I use stackable storage boxes for gear from Walmart. Nothing fancy but very convenient.

Hi YOVIK (Alex) - Sorry for the delayed response.  Here are a the photos that you asked for.  A carpenter friend of mine designed and built this for me.  By doing it this way, nothing is bolted down and either side of the platform or the upright supports can be removed and/or reinstalled very easily.  I hope this is helpful.

Those pictures are actually super helpful as I ponder a similar design. Thanks a ton!Alex

I took out the rear seat and made a dog bed platform and storage area. I left the sides open so I could easily access recovery gear (or whatever) roadside without having to take the dogs out. We keep extra pantry type stuff and provisions in the upright cupboards, and I built a long padded cupboard into the top to keep my truck-gun.

I like this setup a lot.  What truck is it in?  Can you access the area under the front seats?

That's the best rear storage I've seen!! What materials did you use for the upright cabinet?

Thanks. it's a 2014 Tundra double cab. There is a little slot behind the front seats and in front of the platform that you could stuff your hand in. I left enough space to be able to move the seats back and forth.

I generally stuff stuff (like raincoats) under the passenger seat from the front anyways.

Thanks. I just used mdf and 2x2's for the framing (and lots of glue and screws), nothing too complicated. I'm no carpenter, so I planned it out a lot, and measured 50 times before cutting once. I made it in 2 pieces (the lower portion and the upright portion) and both are attached to the stock rear seat bolt-down points.
