Is there a way to secure the rear passengers seats when they are folded up? My seat are not stable when they folded up.

Yes; there is a strap/tether that holds them in place. Check out the video, around 58 minutes in for directions:



Hope that helps!

There's a strap that wraps around the front headrest

yes, the Manual explains this in Table of Contents, under "Rear Seats - Tumbling the Second Seats". The back of the seats have a small cover plate you pop off and a tether strap is in there. It connects to the Grab handles above doors. Not around the head rests. Also notice that the back of the seats also have removable cover plates that are intended to cover up the seat hinge openings in the floor after tilted up. Nice touch, my prior 4x4 trucks didn't have that

Are the tumble seats different than the ones on the OT? Does your seat not have the covers on the bottom to pop off, or is there just not a strap in there when you do pop it off?

The cover plates on the bottom cover up the seat hinge openings, no strap is located there when removing the covers. There is a cover towards the top of the seat but no tether in there either.

Sounds like it’s just for the 60/40 rear seat and not the captain’s chairs

It seems the tether for securing the 2nd seat in tumble may only be for the 5 seat models. The Manual implies that, it says for models with 3rd seat to not drive while 2nd seat is in tumble position. Since I have an OT I don't know what the 7 seaters have.

This is correct. It makes sense to tether on Overtrails because this leaves a flat floor behind the seat.

Tethering wouldn’t make sense on Premium / Luxury grades since it would leave a valley between the tethered seat and the folded rear seat, which explains why it’s not an option there.
