I have found that the small tray where the shifter retracts into makes the perfect fast food fry holder when driving down the road and snacking. While I haven't used the fold out/down platform too much, I wish that Ford had molded small round cup holders when the tray is down. With Covid and some restaurants while not offer in-room dining, eating on the fold down tray is nice however it covers the two cup holders so any drinks rest on the flat table. It would be nice to have cup holders... I know, 1st World Problems...

I didn't get the work surface, but when I am using my laptop in the truck I fold down the shifter and lay a terry towel down and set my laptop on the terry towel and it works great.

I hate driving with stuff in my pocket, so my wallet and keys go in there.

Earlier this week I went to a Taco Bell and found out the lobby was closed. I didn’t want to eat in my new truck but was forced to.
enjoyed my lunch and finished up… THEN remembered I had the work surface.
$165 option that I haven’t even used yet and forgot I had when the moment arised.

I must state the obvious as no one yet has; The shifter fold down function is to get the "obstruction" out of the girlfriend's way!!!

Ok, for those that don't drink iced coffee even when it's -40.... Substitute "pop straw wrapper". For the southerners, that's Coke coke straw paper.

For the Pacific ranges, the ecologically farmed, reusable, biodegradable, sanitary sleeve that encases the biodegradable cylinder that allows you to enjoy the morning smoothie. Be sure to reinvest the carbon in a responsible manner.
