Abstract: A vehicle seat and storage system includes a vehicle seat having a seat base and a seat back extending from the seat base. A storage apparatus is connected to the seat back and is movable from a stowed position against the seat back to an extended position away from the seat back. The storage apparatus is configured to position and secure one or more cargo items. A seat motor is operably connected to the seat. The seat motor is configured to move the seat back from a first position extending upward from the seat base to a second position where the seat back is disposed flat against the seat base.

Abstract: A cargo management system for a vehicle includes a base member slidably supported in a cargo zone of a vehicle. A collapsible cargo box is mounted to the base member. The collapsible cargo box includes a bottom wall, and a plurality of side walls that define a storage zone. A deployment mechanism is operatively connected to the base member. The deployment mechanism selectively biases the base member outwardly from the cargo zone. An actuator is operatively connected to the deployment mechanism. The actuator selectively triggers the deployment mechanism to shift the base member outwardly of the cargo zone.
