CBears Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 So I’m waiting like everyone else. I know about the spray in liner and tonneau cover problems but what about the console safe? I ordered mine with the console safe. Are people having problems with those also or are there trucks coming in successfully with safes in them???

Jim58 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I keep thinking about getting the safe after I receive my truck. I doubt there is any hold up because of the safe. From my understanding GFX isn’t out of parts, it is more of a manpower issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manko Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 There’s a dealer selling the OEM safes on eBay for $280. I looked at the instructions and it’s extremely easy to install (maybe 10-15 minutes). I didn’t order mine with one, but I’m strongly considering adding it later. I highly doubt it would cause you any delays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBears Posted December 12, 2021 Author Share Posted December 12, 2021 Glad to hear this. Thank you! I was wanting truck to come with everything I wanted so I didn’t have to do much once it gets here. Add a ranch hand grill guard and it’s all done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manko Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I was honestly going to order it but thought I would lose a bunch of the center console storage by having it. Only after I ordered my truck did I find out it doesn’t take away from the volume of storage in the console. That’s when I saw the YouTube videos and of how easy it is to install. I’m probably going to order one once my truck gets here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBears Posted December 12, 2021 Author Share Posted December 12, 2021 Yeah, if I had it alll to do over again, I’d probably do the same. Bed line and cover has been a hold up also. Live and learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Ordered on 9/3 with safe, spray bed liner, 5th wheel prep, got bumped from week of 10/18 to week of 11/1. Actual build was 11/22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea of who does factory install but while DIY is a 1/5 difficulty at best, for the first time install expect to spend a minimum of one hour. Been there.

Blackdiamond925 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Got mine in October with the safe. Man does it take up a lot of room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyall Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 The one I installed in my F-150 (and hope to re-install in my F-250 when delivered) only took half of the console area. Looks like the factory version takes all the space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure of the brand but this is it. https://www.americantrucks.com/e-g-center-console-lock-vault-1517.html They do not have one listed for 2022 SD's but I am hoping it will fit mine. The cabs of the 2015 - 2020 F-150's and the 2017 -2022 SD's are supposed to be the same and the Console Vault unit proper part number is the same for the F-150 and F-250 with the exception that the F-250 has an SD suffix. I may be disappointed but I will try the install and make any modifications to the safe itself if necessary.

22KRTremor Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) I did but removed from my build. I wanted a half safe as to not lose full function of space in console. '22 MY F350 King Ranch Tremor https://www.apollo-optics.com/products/console-vault-lock-for-2015-ford-f-150?_pos=2&_sid=1d97c38c6&_ss=r Nick at Apollo-Optics is great to work with and will ship fast and get you taken care of.

I believe that to be the brand I have. Good to see they say it fits 15-20 150's & 17+ 250's. Edited December 18, 2021 by doyall 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinManVT Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Has anyone tried this one? It looks like the factory safe. Ford F250 2017 - 2019 Full Floor Super Duty Console Vault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toe Truck Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Ordered the factory console option with my F350 order in late October. Also ordered 5th wheel prep package and spray in bedliner. No build date yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyall Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Looks like the E&G Console Vault might need a bit of trimming (i.e., grinding) on the sides of the lips to fit in my '22 250 Plat. Maybe 1/16 inch or slightly more on each side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
