I just took delivery of my new 06' long bed last Thursday and yesterday I was looking for spots to mount my brake controller. I have the 40-20-40 bench seat so there's no console to deal with and I was wondering if the small tray below my climate controls, and above the 4x4 shifter comes out so I can route the wires behind it. The tray is pretty much useless for most items, since things keep sliding out of it so I figured it would be a good place to mount the controller.
Does anyone know if this tray/pocket comes out? Where has everyone else mounted their brake controllers. I'm pretty sure I can angle mine to just about straight up and down if I want, but I'd rather not drill obvious holes in my instrument panel if I don't have to.
Thanks,
Alan

 

I mounted a Prodigy in my 04. There is a little plate screwed to the bottom of the dash beside the emergency brake release. It was there for no obvious reason. It looked like the perfect place for a controler as the wires easily reach it and you can drill 2 little holes in it to mount the controller in a couple of minutes and do no damage to anything. Took me about 5 minutes to do the whole installation and it has worked great and is not in the way.

 

mounted mine just to the right of the steering column down low with double sidedtape.

 

Where do the wires from the brake controller actually plug in - under the dash somewhere?

Is my '05 f-150 prewired to accept a controller? (My truck did not come with the tow package.)

 

Mine had a gray plug that was near where the steering column comes through the firewall. Easy to see and easy to reach.
