So, what can one use the small cubby holes on the dash? I know some come with trailer brake controller on the left and some have two emtpy holes.

Is there anything one can use them for?

 

well, i dont have one, but i drove one today and its the perfect place for my wallet. i never drive with my wallet in my back pocket as it hurts my back and butt, and it was the perfect size for the wallet.

 

Change, wallet, cell phone.

 

Even after I quit, I still call it the "tobacco slot"

 

I use the one on my driver's side for my iPhone and the one on the passenger side for my iPod. Works perfectly

 

my wallet falls outa there all the time or I forget it

 

my iphone also goes in the driver side pocket

 

It's where Ford teases us that it could easily have offered Upfitter Switches in one of those spots... but won't.

 

That's where I put my henway.

 

Gum wrappers and pistacio shells--They fit perfect!

 

Perfect place and size for the microphone of my radio ! Amateur radio.

 

I put my phone and wallet in them.

 

wallet, Ipod, cell phone, extra .40 cal magazines, pack of gum, pocket knife, IDs, small binocuars, non-melting candy, trailer keys, extra set of keys, pen, small notebook, digital camera, business cards, flashlight, anything else?

 

I keep a folding knife and sunflower seeds in the pockets

 

Ford seems to like putting useless holes in the dash. My '04 XLT has a cubby at the bottom center under the cupholder that is a total waste of space. It's so shallow that anything I put there slides out, and it's so low down that it's pointless to try putting stuff there that you use regularly.

But then, after 6 years I'm also struggling to find a good use for the overhead rail system that Ford marketed so proudly back in '04.
