I prefer the cig plug over the acessory port. It is more convienent and lower. I dont like them way up high like the power port. I read this weekend that you shouldnt use it to power anything as well!

I believe that 05's were the last year to have that cig lighter/cupholder combo. My 06 doesn't have the cupholders either. No spot for the ashtray either. In 06's we get a storage looking cubby instead.

I havent seen a cig lighter in a car in a while
EDIT, mine cupholders does have the ashtray and lighter, so I guess 06's have them too

The one in my 02 F250 was the same design, only smaller. I didnt realize this was an ashtray for almost a year. I dont smoke, so it doesnt matter to me either way. Works good to put change.
