What is that?
Hi all, new to ford and to the forum, I just picked up a f250 4x4 quad cab built in 2003, runs great but there is one problem, in the cab on the console below the 12 volt power out( cig lighter) there is this thing that kind of looks like a built in hook of some sort, it looks like you are supposed to hang something from it, I cant figure out what it is for, any help would be great... thanks in advance!

pretty sure it's intended for a trash bag, but it serves many purposes

I don't want my wife to drive mine. Heck she curbs the tires, and bends too much sheet metal on her cars. I would end up with a wad of crumpled up aluminum foil.
