napwife Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Trying to find a answer for the rear seat question. Our back seat locks in the upright position but when you put it down it doesn't lock. Is it suppose to just sit there or is it suppose to lock in place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine did on my 2019 and also does on my 2022. Give it a good slam down. If it still doesn't lock down the latch might be out of adjustment.

napwife Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 Thank you for your response but we have tried everything. We have slammed it down several times, we've pulled the handles and the latch has no movement what so ever. We have made an appt with the dealership.

70 Stang Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 My F-150 seats don't lock down, but Rangers might be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoomerSooner Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I have a 2020 Ranger and I'm pretty sure it's the same as the '22. Yes, the rear seat has a latch when it is "returned to its full upright and locked position." Mine is super finicky, too. And very tight (so much so, it squeaks on the rubber mounts against which the seatback rests on the back wall of the cab). I think I took off the headrests once to get it to latch. You might consider shaving down the rubber bump-stops--it shouldn't take much. Once I got it re-latched I've left it, since there's no appreciable storage back there and the seatback doesn't fold down parallel with the floor anyway. (I'm hoping the new Ranger will fix that oversight.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napwife Posted June 10, 2022 Author Share Posted June 10, 2022 Thank you for your response. But it is the bottom seat that won't latch. There is a storage area under the seat and there is a latch and bar it is suppose to hook too but the latch doesn't engage at all. It's in a fixed position. I do have an appt to return it to the dealership but not until July. I was hoping someone from the plant could tell me if it is suppose to latch.
