If the vehicle is an extended-cab or king-cab pickup truck, then the “normal use” restriction for “jump seats” that are located behind the front seat of the pickup is waived.

Additional Guidelines:

· This waiver only applies to pickups that have “jump seats” located behind the front seat. The dBDRA defines a “jump seat” as an OEM seat that was designed to be folded up against the side or back of the pickup’s passenger compartment.
· Jump Seats may not be removed from the pickup, but they may be folded in order to accommodate the sound system.

Acording to this rule, i would like to know how would you rule a full size pick-up, with an quad-cab type body (read here a 4 doors pick-up, like this one
)
does this particular rule apply?

Here is how the seats are folding:


Personnaly, i do not belive that those are supposed to be "jump seats as shown on typical "king-cab" pick-ups like this:

but they are clearely folding up against the back of the pick-up. So how would you classify those seats?

My interpretation would be that the seats are to be considered as jump-seats and shall not be removed, as stated in the rules. Even if they are not techicaly jump-seats nor look like typical jump-seats.

If this is not the case, shall we consider Quad-cab pick-ups like normal vehicules, and require that the competitor keep his/her seats in the car?

P.S., No it's not a Dodge ad... Just to show a typical example.
