I use mine for my wallet when on long drives. It's just the right size to hold a trifold wallet.

Otherwise, that is where the upfitter switches go, if your truck was ordered with them.

I have used in the past for my trailer brake controller. Now I can't ever see myself living without the tow command unit. Best controller I have ever owned

Small pistols, pack of marlboros, cell phone, wallet, knife, cigars, beer caps, tom tom while he is charging, extra magazine for AK-47, etc.

I put friction mat in the bottom of mine so stuff dont fall out when i accelerate. That cubby is sweet, my 86 and 89 had one too.

That is a good idea, I hate it when I romp on it and all the stuff flies out in the floor.
