XL Mini Console Pics Please

Starting to look at building a regular cab XLT . Question the XL regular cab has a mini console option.

The XLT doesn't have his option wondering if I can see some pics to see if the center seat will be able to be removed and install a mini console in its place

Hate the bulky center seat

Do not get it. It looks like a little auto organizer you get at Autozone.

I personally hate the mini consol. We use them in a bunch of our work trucks. I prefer the standard flip down one that you can store stuff in and use as an armrest.

The lack of center arm rest is a deal breaker for most folks.

Go on ebay and get a take out Center console from 2007 - 2010 super duty.

Great improvement and colors match really good.

Two 17s on Order

We have done a dozen installs on 2011 - 16 XL trucks. We have two 17s on order. In general, we order the rear factory bracket for the Factory console. Install it for a factory look. Then use some self tapping screws from the inside of the console into this bracket. This secures the rear. For the front, there was a bracket that holds the front seat that we leave after the seat is removed. It sits very close to the floor. We stack a couple spacers (lumber, plastic deck) to get the height needed and secure this to the bracket. Then self tap from above inside the console to the spacers. Very solid. From the outside, it looks all factory.

Here are a couple of examples. You can easily get factory paint to change a tan plasitic to dark gray for then factory match.

that's a great write up that is the look that I had in my 13 F150

a bit pricy, but that's is a good way to go

hope I can find a deal when the time comes

Just went to the dealership there was an XL unlocked and the center seat looks like it is just bolted from the side two on each side

I bet the F150 center console might work with some modifications. The bolt patteren is similar. Not sure on the dimensions
