Question 2011 Center console is a black hole

I have a 2011 SCREW XLT.
Does anyone know the factory part number for a organizer for this to make it more usable? Any aftermarket piece that fits in the console?
I mean it's nothing but a armrest with a cup holder.
Like a table between two arm chairs that does not have a shelf on it to put a cd or magazine or tv remote.

I measured the inside and went to my local Target and picked up a plastic bin to keep everything from flying around in there. I can now put things in the bin or in front and find them easily. They should have come with compartments, shelves or something in there!

I know the feeling. That sucker is huge. It would probably hold a lot of ice and beer though.

Agreed!
Why doesn't it have an upper tray?
It's dangerous to go routing through the "foot locker" while driving.
Ford failed on this.
I will eventually have to make a tray that fits in there unless an aftermarket company already did this?
If anyone knows of one please advise.

Failed? If it was smaller you all would be bitching about that. It isn't like you can horde stuff in there. If you can don't blame it on Ford.

OP: the few people on here that I've seen complain have gone to Walmart or wherever and just bought whatever small storage bins/trays that worked best for them. And what is up with the million swirlies in your pic?

Buz: It does have a tray that sits on the top. Personally, I love how big the console is. Besides it's better to have too much room than not enough

I'm glad it's that big the glove box is just that fits the manual and a pair of gloves.

Some people may have misunderstood me. I like how big it is. I just wish there was a removable tray on top for things like change, pens, gum, you know things you use a lot vs. crap you don't which can go underneath.
My truck did not come with such a tray.
