New 2014 STX Supercab 4X4

The lack of storage makes me think about ways to use the cubbies provided in the dash. I don't smoke so won't use the small one for that. They are slippery so I won't store my phone in there either.

I was wondering about the auto phone holders. Most use a suction cup, but if you could get one that would grip inside the small cubby and hold your phone so you can see it--that would be cool.

Any creative uses of the spaces provided?

Do you not have a rubber mat in the slot under HVAC controls? My XLT came with a grip mat. Easy junkyard find or order new.

 

Yes there is actually a rubber mat, but the phone doesn't feel that secure.

I was thinking about an angle mount that uses that cubby to spring mount into.

An example is Proclip:
Ford F-150 2009-2014 ProClip Angled Mount - ProClip USA

I may try that unless I hear of other alternatives that may work better.

Thanks

 

I use the small cubby below the 12V outlet for storing my USB sticks. It's to small for almost anything else. I do wish that one was deeper and wider. I could keep a little notebook and some pens or something there.
I keep a pack of gum in the one below the SYNC ports. if I smoked, that's a good spot for cigs.
I often lay my phone in front of the radio display. It's been very secure there. Sometimes I put it into a cupholder too.

 

The one under the radio is where my checkbook, a notebook, and my business card holder live.

I don't have the brake controller so the one one the left holds my wallet mostly, the one on the right is too small to do anything with so it's empty.

I use the cutout in the console (XLT flip up console) for my phone. The big storage area under the console houses random junk I don't use often.

 

Put it away. Shouldn't be using your phone when your driving anyway. Just kidding. I just stick mine in the center console storage and do everything via Sync.

 

Why did FORD put the cubbie under the 12V outlet anyway? It doesn't appear to have a use to me.

 

i used a phone holder in mine made by pro-clip. it looks good and works perfect. no holes or suction cups. go to their website.
