Default Need help - the center console debacle

I am searching for a 2017-2020 used truck, but want the center console. I can't figure out which packages I should be selecting to find this. I can't find any commonality. I tried selecting navigation thinking that most of them coming with nav have a center console and that's not working either.

My searches bring up 300 cars for example in a range of my area, but yet maybe 100 of them have the center console and the rest don't.

Am I missing something?

I posted this up when you asked in your other thread here: https://www.f150forum.com/f118/what-...3/#post6673488

XLT or Lariat w/ Sport appearance is guaranteed to have it and will have console shift. 502A Lariat will have it. Lariat King Ranch and up will have it.

Otherwise, it depends: XL trucks with 101A pkg comes standard with the 40/20/40 bench but can be optioned with the console. Same with any equipment group on the XLT or Lariat - can be added as option.
​​​​​
XL with​ STX pkg for some years came with the flow-through center console standard. I believe in '19 and 20 it was an additional option and the 40/20/40 bench was standard.
​​​​
You'll want to look at the window sticker for 40/Console/40 or check the pics.

My truck is an odd ball, up optioned 302A XLT with 40/20/40 jump seat as I need to be able to seat 6.

You can also swap in a console if you want, though I don't have the info on how to do this.

I'm sorry, I missed that...

There's no easy way to search this then...

Are there big differences in 2018 vs 2017 other than front grille?

The wording you want to see is 40/console/40, not 40/20/40

This pic is from the 2018 model catalog

XL, XLT, Lar, KR, PLT, Lmtd, Rap

Depends what powerplant. The 3.5EB was a new gen in '17 and was paired with the 10 speed

In 18 the 5.0 went to the Gen 3 and was paired with the 10 speed transmission. Some prefer the older setup with the Gen2 engine and 6 speed. I'm in the 18+ camp myself and wouldn't give up the 10 speed.

The 2.7 also was revised and got dual fuel injection (direct and port) and was paired with the 10 speed. I believe that change also happened in 18.

XLT Sport w/Special Edition Package

Below is from 2020 build and price but similar would be applicable for earlier models.

searching for heated seats will get you 90% of the way there. That will get you XLT 302a packages or better and look at the pictures for the sport trim.

If sport package always has console, then when you're scrolling through all the thumbnails only look at ones that have body color bumpers.
