At that point I doubt the floor is your problem.

My 99 model has the ashtray in this location. I guess after changing cupholders and adding the ashtray between them on newer models -Ford didn't know how to cover the old hole.

It's for a trash bag. I always thought it was a waist of space. I think they could have put something better there. There isn't even anything behind it, so there is plenty of room for something.

That is for hanging your:

-CB mic by the cord.
-dangly key chain.
-gold disco necklace.
-midget by the belt loop.

If it was in a chevy it would be for hanging your purse.

my wife asked that question at the dealer ship when we bought our truck. 3 out of 4 salemen said it was officially known as a purse hook.

I keep waiting for someone to come up with a useful replacment part for that thing.

Having unused ashtray in this location, that that tilts out -I attached power inverter to it. This way I can plug my laptop or cellphone charger there. Pretty good location.

Not bad idea. I have a 1000 watt inverter in the shed. I might have to come up with a 120vac plug in for that spot.
