Had to comment again after reading the comments. Some people are crying about the lack of security with these safes. The common opportunistic thief isn't spending minutes in your vehicle, they are taking seconds to grab whatever they can. Thanks to Ring cams, we now get to see how dumb they actually are. They are lowlife door checkers, not highly trained auto thieves. Another key feature in my F250 Lariat Tremor is motion sensors that will trip the alarm if they break a window, which happened to me within a month of owning the truck. They ran faster than I could get outside. I'm not storing the Hope Diamond in there, just portable speakers, ear buds, small emergency cash, registration and insurance, and other random things that I wouldn't want visable from the outside.

Mine came with the ford one already installed. It’s pretty cool and I like the ford emblem on there. I work in the chemical and refining industry and I put my cell phone and other valuables in there due to having to leave the truck turned off, unlocked with the keys in it because if the circumstances require the emergency responders to respond they can move the truck if they need access with emergency vehicles. Keeps the honest guy out but could probably be broke into with enough time. Ford #1!!

I have the Lock'er Down one for my F250 and am very pleased with it.

Sold , going to order mine today , perfect . Especially since I live in NYC . 2019 F350 Lariat 6.7 . Every day driver

Keep ‘‘em coming man! Love the content! There are times when I am out and have to store stuff I don’t want to be easily taken. Or if I need to go into a building with metal detectors, or out of respect for rules. Is this fool proof, probably not. But it would take longer and help with stupid laws.

The Tuffy’s lid seems to be made better, but I like the look of the OEM. I think either one would be a good deterrent against thieves. Rick Dorion / 2018 -250

Amazing video and gave me everything i needed - Just ordered the Tuffy and video saved for the install walkthrough. Thanks from Canada!!

I went same way... Very happy with it and i can now get a full size tissue box in top without it being crushed.

Got the Tuffy in my ‘16 F250. Love it!,

I owned a 2011 f-150 and put a" Lock-R- Down" console vault in it. I have a 2018 Super Duty now with the "Lock-R-Down" vault could not use the tray in either one. It was not a big deal to me though, I just put the tray inside the vault.

I’ve been wanting one of those I think I’m definitely gonna get the Tuffy one this way I’ll be able to secure my firearm

I have the Tuffy box that goes under the rear seat and I love it. I have the console vault on my wish list. Tuffy is a great product.

The tray fits in the bottom of the storage bin quite easily. I was faced with the same thing and that’s the option I came up with.

Nice Product and Install !!

Out of sight out of mind.

I have dual trays in my console and it is a must for me. I wish the tuff one had the lock in the middle rather than offset to the passenger side. Would the tray work with the key lock as it is shallower? I also notice your current tray has an inset on the bottom towards the lock. Maybe I could find passenger tray like that. PS>2 trays = no rattling ;)

I have a Console Vault and a Tuffy in the 150s and the ford one in the 350. I've never had any issues with any of them.

@@semajniffirg230 Yeah, they have used console vaults for a long time now for the OEM stuff. The 150s are an '09 and a '10 I bought them aftermarket long after getting the pickups. The one in the 350 came with the truck. I honestly can't tell much of a difference in build quality between any of them. The wife has the tuffy in her '10 and the door was still larger back in '18 when I bought it for her. My "old" '09 had the console vault from I think '15 or so. The one thing I do like about the older console vault over the tuffy is the spring loaded door. The wife likes to use her divider/tray still that's why she got the tuffy.

The OEM can be broken into with a set of channel locks at the lock. 5 secs.

Like everything it all depends upon what you want. If you just need to satisfy laws then get the ford one, but if you really want your firearm protected (for longer, it's still in a console) then get the upgraded one.

But there's places that you can't legally carry, doctors offices, schools, post offices etc. It works great for that. That and my other other spare mags. Put the firearm in there when you have to go into those places and put it back on your hip when you come out. I've gotten some weird looks when I go to put it back in the holster. :)

I wouldn’t use either honestly. You can get in either of those in seconds so know it’s not to keep things in the truck all day or all night. There’s better options. For a gun there’s definitely better options. These aren’t securin anything honestly. Maybe from a kid walkin by, but A six inch pry bars poppin them open in no time.

How often/ how easily are there’s safes defeated? Here in Texas they’ll break in to Super Duty’s and ignore cash and electronics - looking SOLELY for firearms. It seems they have LONG figured out how to defeat these in-truck safes within seconds. My take: if you’re not willing to CARRY the gun you’re transporting (when you leave the truck) I can’t see ANY reason to bring and leave your gun in the truck. Sorry to be blunt, but there ya go!

these so-called vaults are so chintzy looking, that a small pry bar or a decent straight blade screw driver could easily pry open. Does anyone make an actual, real, fully enclosed, pry-proof sturdy safe, or are they all just cheap dime-store locking mechanisms that you'd find on the cheapest tool boxes with nothing more than a tin door to masquerade as a console 'safe'? So far everything that I've found on the market for consoles at least, are just laughable, and certainly nothing I'd want to lock my $1,000+ firearm in.
