mounting trailer brake controller

I just bought a 06 f150 and was wondering where everyone was putting the controller. Thanks.

Good question! I need to mount mine this weekend. I was thinking of hook/loop (velcro) to the knee bolster on the right side. That's where I used to mount in my Explorer(s).

I used the metal plate under the dash at the e-brake. Seemed to be the best place to mount and kept me from having to put velco or holes anywhere it is visible.

On my 06 XLT I mounted my Prodigy in the little cubby hole under the lighter and cup holder. I had to cut out a small piece in the back plastic for the wiring harness to go through but it looks good and is easily accessable. If you have a Lariat with the console this won't work.
