Center Console Surprise

[Tracy Bowman]

Picked up my new truck Saturday and when I opened center console I found this. Wasn't on the sticker nor was it added to the cost of the truck as an accessory.

Nice!

Showing this likely just got someone fired at the assembly plant lol.

doubt it will get someone fired, at best a slap on the hand

Actually not sure it wasn't the dealer. They tinted the windows too and I wasn't charged. I'll keep my VIN a secret just in case...

Sounds more like the dealer setup crew installed options on the wrong stock# truck. It happens.

Mine sounded pretty loud when I inspected it, so I opened the hood and, with my best poker face, closed it and went to the business office to sign out quickly.

Nice score! I've been eyeing one of these for some time, but man, they ain't cheap.

$329 through Ford. Someone pointed out yesterday that it is manufactured by these guys and is $269.00

I've got a lot of points built up which will probably take care of it. I was eyeing the ford performance on board compressor, but I read that the points only work on accessories, not ford performance items. Guess I gotta call the dealer.

Didn't know that either. Let me know what you find out. I have 126,000 points burning a hole in my pocket.

I'm virtually positive that all accessories are dealer installed.

Guarantee that somebody picked up their Ranger that week and had to have a chat with the salesman about where their safe that they had to wait to take delivery to be installed went.

Good to see the little guy get a win.

Lucky you. You know how the old saying goes, "I'd rather have luck than a license to steal".

Here is something to consider if you're in the mood for a vehicle safe.

The ones shown, with the rotary locks, are not that safe. If you know how (YouTube is full of vids), decoding them is rather easy. I'm not sure Ford offers them with an Ace lock, but the manufacturer does.

I have an under seat vault made by Tuffy, and available from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Tuffy-293-01-Under-Security-Drawer/dp/B009W8O03Y). It is less expensive, uses an Ace lock, but is somewhat harder to install (requires seat removal).

It’s on the Ford Accessories website also.

Man, had no clue this was an option. That’s awesome.

oh, you paid...you paid one way or another. cha-ching.

Yeah, sort of like on my window stickers, several items say "no charge".
Riiiiiiiiiiiight.

Never thought the sticker prices on a ranger could reach 46k+...
