Garage door opener remote fits perfectly on the bottom. Just removed the clip.

I remember buying my first tape deck for my 1981 Mustang to replace the AM radio.
Started with 8 track player mounted under the dash(1973) , then went to cassette player under the dash….everyone said I was crazy. Then onto in dash radio/cassette player then onto minivan and kids. Nothing like the kids TreeHouse Cassette over and over again across western Canada

So, rather than using a larger infotainment screen Ford decided to put that awkward cubbie next to it for ??? (storage, meds, snacks, ?). For lack of a better use I decided to fabricate a spacer to fill the gap so that I can attached a cell phone mount to it. Here is what I have so far. It seems to fit well (a pain to make since its an awkward shape that is larger at the front than at the rear). I painted the front matte black to fit in and covered the sides with black electrical tape to soften the wood a bit. It seems to stay in nicely and does not show any signs of falling out. I'll update more when I get the cell phone mount installed. Clearly, I have too much time on my hands....

I am betting on someone coming out with a 10" infotainment screen that will completely replace the OEM version. I am waiting for something aftermarket that has all the features I like without some of the crud that the auto manufacturers put on them. Would rather have some better sonic performance than Candy Crush or Upside.

A compact carry. When I am out in the east part of the state I find that my .357 fits perfectly in the door pocket. I can get to it with my right hand if needed. But it also makes law enforcement curious when I won't take my hands off the steering wheel if they come to the window.

That is some fine wood work.

I 3D printed the iPhone holder and like it a lot.

If anyone sees a 10" or thereabouts screen that will work please let me know...

Thanks

Look i dont like smokers, but they built this truck for workers. The cubby is for cigarettes. Thats what goes there. Poor people smoke and poor people work, this truck is meant to be the nicest thing poor folk can afford. So they made a special spot for their best friends.

Also I am so freaking happy to have a smaller screen. If it was any bigger, I probably would have just kept driving old cars forever.

The worst part about this design and/or storage area is grown men using the word ‘cubby’ ‘cubbie’.
Anyone with a "cubby" in their Maverick is advised to immediately convert it to a "Gat-Holder". Only way to retain possession of their man-card.

Oh, and the "faux" CD slot underneath. Did we really need a faux CD slot to make some of us feel old as dirt since CD players are a thing of the past in cars... Except Subarus of course; some still have them. My wife just bought a new one and it still has a CD player. Haaaa...
Before I read anything, I clicked the eject husband and was like, "Why are the hazards on?" *Facepalm* I'm not even 30 yet. Thanks for making me feel old lol 😂
