That is where the passenger air bag controller is with the key slot to turn on or off.
My supercab has this. Crew cabs are an empty slot because kids can sit in the back.
That is also why you have a blank to the right of the TC button on the dash. It says "OFF" when the airbag is off.

You still can. I would never let anyone smoke in my truck though. I use to use the ashtray for change anyway.

If it would have been just a tad deeper and angled downwards towards the inside it could actually have been used to hold something. With the way it is, even if you have something small enough to fit in there I reckon it will be sitting on the floor under your feet as soon as you touch the go pedal. Maybe even before that.

As for the smoker's kit, I made a vow that I wouldn't smoke in the 2011. Three months and 8400 miles, and only one mistake at 0500 one morning when I absent-mindedly (or still half-asleep) lit one, then held it out the window until it went out.
