Default Storage and Organization Ideas

From stuff rolling around in the back seat, to stuff rolling around in the "bin" that is my centre console.

What ideas do you have for organization? What can we do to "organize in this centre console bin which is turning into a pile of crap that you can't find anything.

What are your storage ideas.

This is the reason why I'm buying one with a 40/20/40 seat. Storage (and extra cup holders) in the lower section, and manageable storage in the top armrest. The center console in every vehicle I've ever had has turned into something that resembles a hoarders closet.

In addition, the 40/20/40 also offers:

+ You can technically carry 6 people belted in.
+ If some jackleg parks too close on the drivers side, you can slide in from the pass.
+ I find it a more comfortable cockpit over the center console.
+ Steering column shift

I do like the locking 'vault' you can get as an option for the center consoles in the F150s. The Silverado has a lower storage (under the center seat like F150s with the 40/20/40) which has the capability to lock. It's be nice if Ford offered that.

Walmart sells a rubbermaid holder that fits perfectly in the center console.

They have one for the 3 across seat also. The locking vault.

Interesting, is it a Ford branded product or aftermarket?

It does work great!

I think I was the first to find it and got it started. Walmart should give me a commission!

I posted about it with pictures over in the other f150 forum.
