Good job! I just don’t think it’s the most complete video for a console install on TH-cam. I was going to do a video for my install and upload it. Just seemed like to many hoops to jump through from TH-cam. Again thanks for the video!
Thanks, I'm planning on buying a used 2020 tomorrow, the regret was it not having a console in the XL, DONE, it can be changed easily, thanks, I'm buying it now!
Looks so much better. I have that same setup (steering column shifter). I think it looks so much cleaner than center console shifter and or front bench seats.
Sorry if the question was asked already. Was there an option to add rear ventilation? Biggest complaint with Ford is no rear AC when you have front third row seating
My truck has the black trim, it's more like dark grey honestly. But I was looking for those pieces because my center console came with the silver trim but for some reason the black trim is WAY more expensive. Like each one of those vent trims for the center console version in the black is like $200.
nice video! thanks I just did the swap myself in a 2020, my only problem was i cant get the wires connected in the front of the console... did you have to extend them??
Question: I have a 2016 Ford/F150/XLT. What's the best bed truck cover? That's a reasonable price? I'm not sure if you have a video on that. Thanks for all the great educational videos that you make!
Does hooking up the flow through vents require cutting the carpet? If you don't hook them up, is there still heat directed to the rear through the original vent system, or do you lost that? Very helpful, thanks!
Hey Matt!! im about to do this install myself, curious on that wiring harness you got for the rear power plugs. What's the details on that if you got em still?
@@minecrafter4623 got mine for $400 shipped. Feel good about it, it was an optioned out console in the colors i wanted in really good condition. It came with the console shifter which i took out. On ETSY someone has a $60 drop in replacement for the shifter hole that gives you a little cubby. I plan on making it a flat wireless charging pad though.
Did you sell your jump seat? I’ve got 2 2019 f150’s. Ones a lariat 4x4 super crew ecoboost the other is a XL 4x4 super crew that’s my daily driver. It’s got the upgraded interior that’s basically a base model XLT but my jump seat a rest doesn’t have a consul only has the one under the jump seat. I’ve been thinking about replacing the jump seat with one that has the consul arm rest
Greetings well done how to. been a while back, but I also have a 2019 XL. Do you still have that center fold down? Picked up a rescue from the highway, she badly damaged the upholstery on the center seat you removed in this video. I would so like to replace this in my truck. Of course, I will pay for it and shipping. thanks.
I believe that’s what Sync 3 does automatically when you plug your USB into your phone....it is really easy and voice commands operate your phone/truck when you do that. That’s what I have found with my 2020
Is it doable to go the other way? I need the bench front seat, but I’m having trouble finding the right truck with a bench. Is it possible to swap from the console(without the shifter) to the bench?
I just ordered a center console on ebay so trying to get everything I need to do the install, I dont see the SD slot for the SYNC, is it not visible or does it end up just getting covered up?
By SD slot do you mean an SD card slot? Because if so, my kit did not come with one either. I have not needed an SD card slot whatsoever, even after upgrading to an 8inch screen and sync 3
@@bruh-om8ir yes I believe so. Hit up @boostedgreygoose2016 on Instagram and he’ll have a better answer as to how to go about the wiring harness to undo the shifter
@@bruh-om8ir I know this is grossly late, but you can un-bolt it and buy the part to make it the pocket. You can buy it for around 200 that I have found -- FL3Z-1504567-DA

Thank you for the helpful video. I am thinking of taking on this project for my 2018. I find the folded down jump seat height to be an uncomfortable height to rest my arm. Is the console arm rest any lower in height compared to the jump seat? Thank you.
Does your console have the slide box light/storage area light? I hooked mine up, and I have the rear 2 cigarette lighters working but no lights or front cig lighter. Curious if yours are working.
Hello Egoboost73, I installed my center console yesterday and when I got done my 2021 F250 Tremor does not detect my key fob when I try starting truck. (I have push button start on dash) my truck will not start also on my jump seat has a wire plug toward the passenger side. do I connect that to my new center console,
alejandro perezchica I’m not sure exactly on the cost. There’s a group on Facebook called Raptor Swapped f150’s. I’d check there so see if it’s possible
They vary in prices of consoles obviously, but for MINE, it cost about $900 in total after buying the trim vent pieces, console, and the Sync 3 USB hub
It's coming! Long story short, Forscan only works with non-macbook laptops and I currently only have a MacBook. I'm working on a way around that. I'm sorry for the delay!
"Most in depth video" 1. Doesn't show the jump seat being removed 2. Doesn't show trimming/cutting the ports to connect the air vents 3. Doesn't show the console being slid in 4. Doesn't show connecting the harness or other 12V power/USB connections
@@Trav450ER sorry mate lol. One man filming crew at the time of this recording. There was very few console install videos on TH-cam AT THE TIME of this video. And my comments were directed at one other video, directly. But I did not connect the rear vents (as mentioned in the pinned comment) And if I remember correctly, there was only one electrical connection for the console. Hope you got it installed, clearly not with the help of my video😂
U skipped the most important part, how did you bolt it in? Where are the anchor points? You mentioned the 2 10mm bolts in the back I removed them this console is still securely anchored to the floor, I’m trying to remove mine to remove a stinky rodent nest inside then simply reinstall.. Don’t see ANY other anchor points or bolts
FULL DISCLOSURE: I did not hook up the rear vents.
Have you though about doing the keypad on the door install
I love having the bench seat option. Only reason I would install one of these would be for the rear vents. Wish we could have seen the full install.
ben randall I couldn’t set up the rear vents unless I wanted to cut up my floor which I was not interested in doing
This looks great! I want to do this to mine one day but I would like to hookup the vents as well.
@egoboost73 I saw you mentioned cutting the floor to add vents. What would you actually cut? Just the carpet I assume?
“Most in depth video” but doesn’t even show the console getting put in😂😂
Yupppp useless. Needed it to REMOVE a console so I thought I’d just go in reverse. Ridiculous

Did you have to buy special bracket for the the center console or does the original jump seat brackets fit the new console?
How did you end up wiring the console to work for the usb chargers in front and the plugs in back ?
I do hope that you can tell us how to do the wiring harness as well.
Great video Matt! I was wondering if you could help me? I have a few questions. I’m about to do the swap myself

Rough Country has very good soft Tonneau covers for about $250.
All in all, how much did the project cost and how long did it take?
Did you use the same bolts that you took off of the bench seat to install the center console, or did the console you bought come with bolts?
Can you post the link for the Amazon part please? I don't know which one I exactly need. Thanks in advance
Sweet video, I’ve been thinking of doing this for my 2020.
Thank you. I did get the ac bracket

Did you have to buy a new Harnes or used the same one ?
Just did this swap in my truck. How can I get all of the electronics to work being that the plugs in the front do not line up?
When you change from seat to center console, the seat belt light doesn't stay on?
Does every center console need these replacement parts?
Is there any reason why I wouldn’t have power to my rear usb plugs I have the harness plugged in
Does the original brackets work with the new console?
I did not have to purchase any additional brackets if that’s what you’re asking. You do need the vent trim that’ll fit with the console
Thinking of buying a 2021 stx f150 but I really want a center console
If it’s an STX it’ll have a center console

@@mattewalker_ between yours and Out of Line Garage, I think I will be fine. Already had the center dash and vents off once before.
How do you find the console what do you look up n what year
How did u set your radio up for that setting to have your phone with waze and all those apps nice set up
I believe that’s what Sync 3 does automatically when you plug your USB into your phone....it is really easy and voice commands operate your phone/truck when you do that. That’s what I have found with my 2020
Can you buy the center console off of that Tasca website you mentioned?
Did you get a fault because that center seat belt was disconnected?
Nope!
Do you have part numbers for 2 side panels and panel that goes under radio
Quick question. My center console hidden storage slide lid is jammed. Cant open it. Any advice for fixing it?
Is it doable to go the other way? I need the bench front seat, but I’m having trouble finding the right truck with a bench. Is it possible to swap from the console(without the shifter) to the bench?
Yes it is! What color interior do you have?
Egoboost73 the one I’m looking at is grey
@btravis Did you do your reverse conversion? Did you sell the console if you did?
@@scothollywood4516 yes, I traded with a guy. My console for his bench.

Do you have to swap out the a/c vents or was that personal preference?!?
You have to swap them
Did you run the ducts for the center console? If so where did you find the part number
I did not. Would’ve been more work that I didn’t feel like doing.
Does a center console from a 2018 f150 fit a 2018 f250
It should! Theres information on the forums about them, I’d check it out.
How does the center console open?
I have a 21 f150 XLT crew cab and I want to add the split bench seat. Do you know where I can find that setup? Thanks
eBay! It’s the same process just reverse. And then you can sell yours!
Did the A/C vents on the back of the console work too?
I want to add the jump seat in mines
Are there some wires that need to plug back on? Where do you plug in the usb?
I'm about to do this exchange myself. If I already have Sync3 in my truck, do I need the hub?
Nope!

Would a 2012 f250 center console fit for a 09 f150?
Where do you buy the console at

Where did you get the cigarette lighter power supply?
Does your console have the slide box light/storage area light? I hooked mine up, and I have the rear 2 cigarette lighters working but no lights or front cig lighter. Curious if yours are working.
No, my storage boxes don’t have lighting
What mod you plan on doing next ???
Great job! Is that the Sync 3 radio?
Mark Gennaro yup! I have a video on that install as well!
