2014 Load Flat Floor Question

I read somewhere that the Load Flat Floor is now Standard as of the 2013 model.
Took delivery of my 2014 yesterday and it doesn't have it.
Any truth to it being Standard equipment?

Picked up my CMS4 on 6/21/14 and it was a $250.00 option.

Maybe it was just for the 2013 models. Another way to get $250 out of us.

This is what mine looks like. I honestly can't see where a well cover would sit properly back there.

You need all the mounting hardware to make it fit properly.

Gotcha
Hence the $250 or even more for the retrofit kit.

How're people making it with wood without the hardware?

Here are a few pictures of what it looks like with the flat load floor.

Thanks,
Chris

I made one out of 3/4" plywood, spray adhesive and some automotive fabric. Cost me about $50 total plus about an hour of time to measure 18 times before cutting. :-)

Got any pics?
That sounds like it would work for my purposes.

It was certainly a $250 option on my 2013....couldn't live w/o it though...


I guess they make it an option as some folks might like having the well back there that comes standard for small storage I suppose?

I think it depends on the dealer. We special ordered our 2013 and it was included as free upgrade.
