Under Seat Storage Safe - impressions / reviews?

I'm curious what peoples opinion of this safe is. I know the console safe is popular with gun owners, but I never carry a gun with me in the car. I do, however, sometimes carry small electronics (laptops, hard drives, usbs) worth thousands and containing sensitive material (I work Cybersecurity/IT at a health center). I'm wondering if anyone with a maverick thinks that a 15" laptop could fit in this safe, given that there will be less space once you account for the steel walls of the safe. Mine is supposed to arrive sometime this week but my dealer hasn't been the best with communication, so like many of you I'm stuck perusing the forum while I wait.

Also, would anyone else prefer this safe over the console safe or is it just me?

I don't have an answer, so apologies, but this got me thinking it would be nice to have a pair of padlock brackets attached to the seat and underseat storage, so you could lock the whole back seat down.

Would solve your issue and also not cost $450.

It's all plastic down there unfortunately, so probably not a realistic option, but it would be nice.

The ability to lock the rear seat is an interesting idea.

I like this idea, just wish I had my maverick so I could realistically explore how to make this a reality.

Would be similar to a locking console, a little bit of security but not much.

Is the glove box lockable on the Maverick? I don't see a key hole on any of the interior pictures so if you wanted to lock your firearm (or anything) the console vault seems like your only option. Judging by the size of the opening and other pictures of how deep those storage sections are under the seat, it doesn't look like you'll have enough room to squeeze a laptop in there.

Seeing how you have to pull a strap to release the under seat storage, I don't know how you would be able to lock it but that sure is a good idea if it can be done.

Says it’s for a 2022 Super Duty. Will it even fit a Maverick?

I believe the name of the safe is the "Super Duty Rear Floor Console Vault". In the pictures you can tell its a maverick due to the FITS system.

An inexpensive lockbox like this one from Amazon is what I use if I need to keep my firearm in a vehicle. Wrap the cable around the front seat leg at the floor, slide the box under the seat.
