Trucks are the backbone of American transportation, and Ford's F-150 is a name synonymous with power, dependability, and an endless variety of customization options. For F-150 owners looking to optimize their truck's interior space while maintaining a sleek look, installing a DU-HA under-seat storage solution is a game-changer. 

This how-to guide is perfect for truck enthusiasts who want to do the job right the first time. We'll go through everything from preparing your space to the final check of the newly installed DU-HA. 

By following these steps, you'll ensure a quick, hassle-free installation that leaves your F-150 refreshed with added storage potential.

Why a DU-HA?

Unlike some underseat storage devices that just use a flimsy strap and clip to hold the device in place, DU-HAs bolt into your cab seat or use heavy-duty nylon straps. This makes them far more stable and secure, so you can trust that the DU-HA or your stuff won’t go flying ever. 

Plus, the USA-made roto-molded construction of heavy-duty polyethylene makes this device as tough as your F-150. No matter what you store or how often you use the storage device, it stands up to the test of time. That’s why we guarantee a lifetime warranty for it! 

DU-HAs come in various colors to match your truck’s interior for a seamless look, and there’s no one-size-fits-all option here. They’re sized to fit your exact F-150 year and model so you never have to worry about open space, sliding around, or a junky look. 

With such simple installation, too, you’ll wonder how you ever drove around without one! 

Prep for Installation

From start to finish, the installation process should take only 15 minutes or so. Before you jump in, here's what you need to do first:

Declutter & Clean

Start by removing any items currently stored under the seat and give the area a thorough cleaning. It may seem like something you can skip, but a clean space both prevents damage to the DU-HA and ensures a professional-looking installation. 

If you've never cleaned under your seats before, you may be surprised at what you find. Throw out trash and do a quick vacuum over the carpet to lift out dirt, dust, and even crumbs. 

This is also a good time to protect electronic components from dust and to address any maintenance issues you've been putting off.

Lay Out Your Tools

While installing a DU-HA doesn’t require much in the way of tools, having a few things at your fingertips will make this process smoother. You'll want a socket wrench and possibly a drill, screwdriver, measuring tape, or pliers, depending on the year and model of your Ford. 

Refer to the DU-HA installation instructions and make sure you have everything they recommend. Be proactive and check that tools fit properly in order to avoid any frustration later on.

Installation Guides

Now, let's move on to the step-by-step installtion process. Watch this video for a quick look at just how simple the process is! 

1. Position Your DU-HA

The DU-HA comes with specific instructions on how to position it. Take your time to ensure it's centered correctly without impeding on any existing components like seat tracks or wiring. Proper positioning now saves on rework later.

2. Mount the DU-HA

Use the proper hardware provided with the DU-HA to firmly secure it in place. Do not overtighten the screws; this could damage the storage or the vehicle. A firm but fair tightening is all you need.

3. Test the DU-HA

Carefully move the seat back into position and take note of how the installed DU-HA fits. Open and close the lid to ensure it functions properly without hitting any obstructions.

4. Double-Check

Once the DU-HA is in place and you're satisfied with the fit, give your truck a little vibration. A quick shake can reveal an unsecured storage solution. Retighten any screws if necessary and, if not in place already, add a dab of threadlocker to keep everything in its place.
