A Secret Compartment?

[ClemsonU88]

I removed the orange tray in the center console to make connecting my iPhone to CarPlay a one handed endeavor (another post on that shortly) and found this compartment. It appears to be useless on my truck. Anyone know what it’s for?

For when your car is dead and you can't turn the knob into neutral for a tow? Yeah pull that and it will release the brake

Pull the strap/lever/mechanism inside and it puts the truck in neutral when the engine is dead. Didn't need these in the past (recent past?) because the gear shifter was mechanically linked with the transmission. Nowadays, everything is just electronic and digital, that compartment is the result.

These are the real reason I asked. I knew it would only take a comment or two before the “It’s where you hide your (insert embarrassing item)“ comments came. Well done guys.

So, it's active 100% of the time.
