I noticed there is a hook below the climate controls built into the panel. About 8" below the controls. Does anyone know what this is for?

 

Actually its right below the switch for the pedals adjustment. Close to the heater controls but not directly under it.

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one who was wondering what that "thing" was!!!

 

I think it`s a great place to hang the plastic supermarket bags for trash!

 

The best, absolutely BEST trash arrangement i've found is one of those large collapsable nylon trash containers that is about 8-10 inches in diameter. It's just tall enough to also have the top lip of hte container push against the cigarette lighter to hold it in place, and you couldn't get a larger diameter one in the same place. Doesn't tip over at all. Works great in both my F250 and my Ex.

 

scented trees.....
