i can vouch for that... i work at the explorer plant in louisville kentucky...a truck goes by every 42 seconds, and i actually install the dashboards and the only probems i look for are scratches on the dashboard or broken wire harnesses... when the trucks come down the line to get a dashboard installed you don't know if its 4wd or not because the truck is just a painted shell with a bunch of wire harnesses. no harm done, i just have a really good story to tell about my first new vehicle. there is a boss at work that has a white one, and he has the little coin holder, but i like my shift on the fly switch better....it's a conversation piece.ps: i think i will play the "my 4wd doesn't seem to be working" on them, it will be a good laugh!

Now how about the lucky guy who buys the truck with the FX2's dash in place of it's 4x4 what ever dash.... It's hard to know if this was the wrong dash pulled or just a dash with the wrong part. Either way, it's not unusual for assembly line errors like this to occur.
I've been working manufacturing for the past 15 plus years and we see odd things all the time.

Does anyone even use that little coin holder?? If I put coin in mine i cant get them back out very easy, so i don't use it. Seems they could have put something useful there instead. Thinking.....that might be a good place for a transmission temp gauge or something like.

Reminds me of the Chevy 1500 W/T I bought in 1990. All the interior logos were GMC labeled. The dealer knocked about $500 off the deal. In talking with the service department delivery porter that off loaded most of the vehicles when delivered, he said it was not uncommon especially with the lower base trim levels and fleet sales trucks to see such trim mistakes.
