Do Jeep Wrangler Seats Fold Flat?


Jeep Wrangler JL Folded Down Seats

Do the Jeep Wrangler seats fold completely flat? The quick answer is Mostly. When the seats are folded down in the JL Wrangler 2018-Present they are mostly flat. There is a slight incline from the back to the front. The front seats fold down and leave a very slight incline compared to the rear cargo area of the Jeep. Keep in mind this is only 4 door models. The seats in the 2 door model do not fold flat at all. The seat hinges forward on the 2 door model and leans against the front seats. If you plan to sleep in the Jeep you will be fine especially if you plan to use some type of sleeping pad or air mattress which will help minimize the impact of the slight incline. If for some reason you need it to be 100% level it will not quite work. There are products like the Goose Gear seat delete system that allows you to remove the rear seats and replace them with a flat surface from Goose Gear Outfitters.
