Default F150 - Center Console - Upgrade/Replacement

Hello
I love my truck...but very much dislike the center console w/ seat. Had no choice but to get the used XLT with that design.

Am I stuck with it or I have some possible options to make it look bit different.

I have attached some pictures for reference; as to what I am thinking in regards to converting the center console.

Has anyone done this?
Please share the details.

Thanks in advance.



This is the design model I like a lot.




My center console model. This is a stock photo. My truck seat is cloth..not leather.

Go to ebay and search "f150 center console". They are around $450.

I have done this mod to my 2012 and 2014. Sorry, I did not see any pics in my profile of this mod.

The center console is easy to install. I think I removed the passenger seat to access the bolts on that side. Driver side was easier to access. I had to cut a small bit of the plastic on underside of the new console in order to get the holes to line up (can't be seen).

Easy: On a scale of 1 to 10: 2

Yeah, you have the Jumpseat, which isnt a console. Imo, they suk. I replaced my jumpseat with a console in my 12 xlt. I got on ebay in like new condition, for 250.00 shipped!

Just make sure you get the correct one for your year f150! As the consoles for a 04-08, bolt down through the bottom, and the consoles in the 09-14 bolt through the sides!

Its a straight forward swap, and many have done it. I believe the top pic you posted is of a Super Duty, not a f150.

Yes pictures please indeed ! i can one up you guys!, my 2010 XL Reg Came with a center console that consisted of.... NOTHING that's right folks, nothing what so ever it flips up as a seat and nothing else, no storage, no cup holders no nothing! Quite disappointing, buttttt the price was right so who cares, until now where i cant even set down a pop without the sense that i might spill it in my new truck!!!! So i do need a new console that is a 100% must have!!!

Hello folks
Still looking for pictures on the installed center console replacement. Also there is whole bunch of center consoles on eBay, so if you could provide me a link so I know what I should be looking for.


Please share your center console project pictures.

I actually have a fold down middle seat with no console/compartment as my truck is an XL equipped like an XLT (except for the missing middle compartment).....going to change out to the middle seat with the console just like in Mymidlifecrisis' photo. I want the seat still, but want my compartment as well.
