I've been wanting to do this for some time and I'm looking to get everything for the swap soon. Thank you for your video! It was detailed but also direct.
I switch out my jump seat in my 2019 xlt. Your video made me know it was possible and gave me the confidence to know i can do it. Thanks for the parts list. I got my console from ebay.
After seeing this vid, I got an f150 with steering column shifter with this swap in mind. I was able to do this with only removing front passenger seat bolts and tilting it out of the way- didn’t want to disconnect the airbag cable underneath. The console I used was taken from a XLT without push start, so we needed to remove the remote antenna located under my jump seat and hook it up into the console wiring. Without the remote antenna hooked up, my truck wound not detect the key.
I love my 2015 F150 has everything I wanted for first nice truck. I just don’t need a middle seat and like the console so much better. I do have a power converter in the back so wonder if this would work out.
It would have been awesome if you would have converted to center shift. I'm looking to give it a try in a few months. Just going to buy parts here and there.
Bro thankyou for this amazing video , i never worked in cars but after watching your video i feel pretty comfy doing, i just need the pice to replace the shifter i don’t know where to find ! i definitely subscribe your chanel Thankyou Again.
Did you unplug the battery for the seats? I hear you should if they have airbags, I think I have the same seats as you, I dont think they have airbags.
My 2015 with console had 207,000 miles on it and I decided to change it for a 2018 with FAR fewer miles. The 2018 has the jump seat and I do not like it. Glad I found this video so I can now go find a console and find someone to do the swap. I am a very handy individual but tearing my truck apart and getting it put back together properly I do not have much confidence in. Thank you for the video.
Hey, I bought the parts I need, I think, but i have a problem. The console was a center shift so I ordered the cup holder and dump pocket replacement. However, now I cannot get the exterior frame to snap back into place on top of it. You didn’t show the installation of that piece. How did you do it? Did you have problems? Literally nobody is out there to help with things like this.
If you are handy I did this swap without ordering any special parts.... I used a jigsaw to cut out the Trim bezels, then wrapped them. I also believe you can just plug the side wire harness in and evrything should work without switching over the USB seperate. Ford parts are not cheap, and this can save $100's of dollars. For under $100 you can purchase the two vent attatchments and simply push together to get rear seat ventilation working, I didnt need this as back seat is subwoofers only.
@@davidscherrle7908 Is there a way to send or post photos? It came out pretty clean, could also use a dremel I imagine. I could probably send a rough template but I just taped the lines and went slow with jigsaw.
@@jeremyolday1281 I believe all the part numbers are listed in the description. Pretty easy swap for the most part, I removed passenger seat and it gave me all the room to move things in and out. Basically plugs right up.
Haven't checked in a while but mine definitely wasn't $250 and nowhere near $1000. Got mine off ebay for $570ish after taxes. And that was leas than a year ago
Hey outofline, watched this whole video it’s amazing! Do you think this process would be comparable to putting an f250 console in an f250 with a jump seat? Thanks!
Hello I just got my center console and I'm going through videos see how it's done and I came across your video. And I didn't realize you have to change a lot of parts. And I was wondering where did you find the parts you needed I see the bolts and washers you got like at Home Depot. Thanks
jbzkid76 friend of mine is a parts manager for a local dealership so I ordered everything slightly above cost. Tasca seems to be one of the cheaper options check with your local ford dealer.
Just took a gamble and bought one from a wrecked truck off eBay. Picture sucked, but it looks like it is fine, and it's just the column shifter model I need too, so that saves $200 for that damn trim piece (which is absolutely ridiculous).
I’m confused as what to put in the “option” spot on the LKQ online website obviously you put your year of f150 , interior , dash and console parts, console and then under option what did you put? Is it “floor , (full console with lid),column shift” and even when I do that I’m hesitant to buy because it doesn’t really show me pics of what the console I’m getting looks like. If you could help me out that’d be great.
Awesome video. I did the same swap myself prior to watching your video and didn’t plug in the USB first like a dumbass. Do I have to take everything apart again or is there a simpler way to access the wire?
What if i have a linkswell 12" screen ?? Will it fit fit same way ? Also console did not came with shifter but it has missing bottom part so there's nothing. Can i put some sort of plastic or something ??
Price and time will vary. When I did it 9 months ago. I paid $570 after taxes for the console from ebay and about an extra $100 for trim pieces and hardware. Took me about an hour and a half to 2 hours by myself to do it.
How did you find it? When I search it up as console the most expensive one I get is 164.00 and the cheapest I get is 65.00. Howd you know which one was the right one?
@@ryanelkins8081 yes but I don’t know what the part numbers are. I know my truck didn’t have the brake controller (we added that and did a video on how to install and program it) and it had a tray where the controller was. Not sure about the backup assist though.
You can do that, I looked into swapping the F150 bins to the F250 sliders but the piece I needed was over $200 so I just traded a guy the shifter for the right bin.
Yes but it requires some work, and an extra harness I believe. I looked into doing it but I like having the extra room in the console rather than the shifter.
Thanks to this video, I bit the bullet and purchased a console and made the swap. Then, to my surprise, the truck wouldn't start. It has the push-button start and kept saying "Key not detected." I tried putting the key fob in the emergency slot, but that didn't work. I took out the console and put the jump seat back in and it started right up. There's apparently some connection that isn't on the 2017 console that I'm putting in my 2019 truck. I can't find ANYTHING about this on the web. Anyone got any ideas?
@@OutOfLineGarage Nope, no codes. Would disconnecting the battery reset the computer, maybe? Do you know if there is any programming in the key detector? Oh, there is one plug near the front of the console that had no matching connection in the dash. I guess I can't attach a picture here, but it has two wires going into the connector, gold and light blue. ***UPDATE*** I believe the plug is the C235 PATS antenna, which must be built in to the 2019 main floor plug. I just need to find a wire diagram of the 2019 plug to see if I'm right.
You are doing the Lords work!! :) Thank you for the detailed tutorial.

How’d it go? I have a 2018 xl and I’m also wanting to do the same
This video was incredibly helpful, haven't seen one in this much depth
Bravo. I have that already installed in my 2017 STX, but very insightful on how the swap is done, and do appreciate you removing the shifter.
where did u buy the console at?
Just got my center console and currently getting all the other little parts together. Thanks for showing all the part numbers. Makes this much easier!
Where did you purchase everything ?
Best video yet! Thanks budd, God bless you and your family
Hell yeah brother! Just what I needed!
Thank you man. You're video was alot of help. Ive swapped to black leather and now wanting ditching my jumper on my 15 super crew.
Just got all my parts. Looking forward to doing it this weekend. Your video was very helpful. Thank you.
Where did you pick your center console up from?
Awesome video man! So comprehensive. Thanks for the help, just installed my center console
You did great, I cant wait to do this to my f150, instead of showing a how to i will simply show the finished product and link to you.

Did you figure out how to get air to the rear. If not I did and I’d be happy to share how I did it
wow you made that look so easy, nice job
Great informational video. Thanks
Thank you for the video... im savingg it until i do this
Great video. Did you consider adding ductwork for rear ventilation? Big complaint with third front seat
awesome video now i have to track a center console down to put into my 2016
when you do the ambient lighting plz make a vid!!
FINALLY I FOUND A VIDEO!!! Thank you
Bro thankyou for this amazing video , i never worked in cars but after watching your video i feel pretty comfy doing, i just need the pice to replace the shifter i don’t know where to find !
i definitely subscribe your chanel Thankyou Again.
Thanks for doing this.
Excellent..! Will that version of the console be compatible with a 2011 Ford F-150 Fx4?
I couldn't believe how pricey the cup holder was, just did my install earlier this week. Did you sell your jump seat and other parts?
@B N. Got it off of Car-Part.com no s on part, has yards all over country to pick from. Paid $300 and it was complete
Did you unplug the battery for the seats? I hear you should if they have airbags, I think I have the same seats as you, I dont think they have airbags.
Great Video Man! This helped a lot!

The coworker that bought my old truck wants the middle seat and not the console, so we are going to swap them over.

where did you find GL3Z-1504339-FC ? do you remember where you got it, having trouble finding one
Would a 2018 console fit in a 2016 truck?
Great video very detailed 👌🏻
What's the big cable with the rectangle connector on and turning into a y line with a small connection
I love the demo-ranch shirt

Do you have part numbers? If I'm going to go through the trouble of doing the swap I'd love air in the back seats.
Do you have a picture? I’m curious how it looks after using a saw. I’m thinking about doing the same thing, but concerned it might look bad.

I also bought a piece of black acrylic and epoxied it from underneat the console where the shifter use to be, I then ran some switches to it.
2 years ago you got this for around $250. They’re $1,200-1,500 or even 1,800 on eBay 🤦🏻♂️
For real, might just make sure next truck has a center console. Not sure if it’s worth all the money and hassle haha
Haven't checked in a while but mine definitely wasn't $250 and nowhere near $1000. Got mine off ebay for $570ish after taxes. And that was leas than a year ago
Just bought one for $350 on eBay. Got lucky af because I also got free shipping😂
I won my console on ebay for $350 the liarat model due to a bid going my way
Wow this is awesome!
Would this work for a crew cab or would the center console be too long?
Can you link where you bough the console?
www.lkqonline.com/ I had the console shipped to the closest yard and picked it up from them.
Very helpful thank you!
Great video!
Would this work for a 2018 F150?
Hey outofline, watched this whole video it’s amazing! Do you think this process would be comparable to putting an f250 console in an f250 with a jump seat? Thanks!
The consoles are exactly the same so it would be the same process.
Hello I just got my center console and I'm going through videos see how it's done and I came across your video. And I didn't realize you have to change a lot of parts. And I was wondering where did you find the parts you needed I see the bolts and washers you got like at Home Depot. Thanks
Well i did this and my ports in the rear don't work with everything plugged in
Why did you have to swap your single USB port and why weren’t you able to use the dual? I only ask so I know to not try and make the dual work 😂
Can I add this center console to a 2006 Ford F150 XLT 5.4L Triton. Extended Cab? Thanks for the video
Did you ever wire in the ambient lighting or USB ports for the center console?
Awesome video!! One question...where are you ordering the extra trim parts from?
jbzkid76 friend of mine is a parts manager for a local dealership so I ordered everything slightly above cost. Tasca seems to be one of the cheaper options check with your local ford dealer.
My gf seems to like the bench seat. 😎
Hello, my truck is a f150 supercab 2016, do you know if any console 2015+ will fit?
Thank you!
Do u do this for a living?
I want to remove the ugly seat and install a center console. Where can i buyone?
i have a question... how much did the cup holder costs you.. i went to the dealer and they threw a $300 price tag my way.. that cant be right.
Just took a gamble and bought one from a wrecked truck off eBay. Picture sucked, but it looks like it is fine, and it's just the column shifter model I need too, so that saves $200 for that damn trim piece (which is absolutely ridiculous).
When you took the shifter out did you remove those 4 retaining clips by chance? I need those and cannot find a part number
For my 2015 cl I don’t have the button seats I have the bar and lever. Can I upgrade these seats
Excellent video, question, did that key slot underneath the sync compartment ( it's used to program new keys) did that work after this swap?
Silvio Alcantara never checked, but I doubt it will.

Awesome video. I did the same swap myself prior to watching your video and didn’t plug in the USB first like a dumbass. Do I have to take everything apart again or is there a simpler way to access the wire?
You might be able to pop the radio out and plug it in that way
If my truck has the inverter will the rear 12 volt work? or will i still have to hook something up?
Any chance you still have your seat lying around? I'd like to swap from console to seat...
I plan on doing this in a few months will have the jump seat. In central florida
center seat in TX
will trade for console
Quick question, does it have to be a center console from a xlt or can it be from a lariat ?
It can be from whatever trim, just need to make sure the colors match.
why do you have to get new bolts. why cant you use the ones that were holding the jump seat in
different mounting points for the console and jump seat. Smaller bolts
What if i have a linkswell 12" screen ?? Will it fit fit same way ? Also console did not came with shifter but it has missing bottom part so there's nothing. Can i put some sort of plastic or something ??
We're you able to make it work or did it just not require any extra pieces
I remember there being this one website where you can buy parts from vehicles starting with car.... I can't remember the websites name!!!!
Any update on the ac? And how that is supposed to hook up?
What is that console called?
All in all, how much did the project cost and how long did it take?
Price and time will vary. When I did it 9 months ago. I paid $570 after taxes for the console from ebay and about an extra $100 for trim pieces and hardware. Took me about an hour and a half to 2 hours by myself to do it.
@@ivorysmithii8505if you could get me all the trim pieces for $100 let me know every where I’m looking the trim parts are well over 100

Where did you find the cup holder I cannot find it with that part number anywhere is it possible that you can put a link on the comment
This may have been asked and answered, but did anyone have to purchase new mounting brackets to secure the console?
Nope. Same bracket works for the jump seat or console. Everything you need is listed in the description.
Thank you!
I can't find a part number for the 2 small pieces pictured on the front corner of table @5:31
I added them in the description for you. :)
@@OutOfLineGarage thanks, found them.....now, without destroying the cable, how is it removed from transmission end? lol
Would it also work for a single cab? Not worried about the back ac vent or outlets
Yes, should be all the same. I’ve seen ppl do it.
@@OutOfLineGarage the radio trim, do they offer it with out the 4x4 knob and trailer assist
@@ryanelkins8081 yes but I don’t know what the part numbers are. I know my truck didn’t have the brake controller (we added that and did a video on how to install and program it) and it had a tray where the controller was. Not sure about the backup assist though.
I wonder if u can put a super duty one in that doesn’t have the shifter built in into a f150 since there the same cabs?
You can do that, I looked into swapping the F150 bins to the F250 sliders but the piece I needed was over $200 so I just traded a guy the shifter for the right bin.
@@OutOfLineGarage I like my bench seat but that console does look good👍more storage is always a plus thanks for the video upload and info
How did you look it up under console under the option section?
You ever figure out the air flow through the console?
Never really bothered, I rarely have people it in the back seat so it’s kinda pointless for me tbh.
Think this is what I’ll do on my Lightning and remove my center seat
Did you ever find that little center rubber piece next to the cup holders? I just did the same swap and I can’t find that piece
Never looked actually. Guess it doesn’t bother me that much. Haha
Can order from Ford
@@wes1424 did you find one? I tried ordering it and the dealer responded saying they are discontinued.
Any reason this wouldn't work on a regular cab?
Nope, I’ve seen people do the swap in a reg cab before actually.
@@OutOfLineGarage is it the same on a 2020?
@@francisshannon9045 yup
Where did you find the trim bezel pieces at and how much?
Part numbers are in the description. I ordered it though a local ford dealer and I don’t remember it was 2 years ago lol
Is the shifter useable if you leave it on there or is it useless?
It's obviously useless, unless you take the time and remove the transmission cable from your column shifter and reattach it to the floor shifter
Link to console? Havent found any in that condition for that price...
just check www.lkqonline.com/ regularly. the prices are kinda all over the place tbh.
On the site when you choose console is that the price for the entire thing or only part of it?
Mike Sodano mine came with most of what I needed besides the pieces I had to purchase.
Would this console fit on an extended cab?
Yup!
@@OutOfLineGarage good to hear,now I just need to find one!
should’ve kept the shift knob
I like the extra storage and someone was already to swap with me.
Is there any way to get the automatic shifter on the console to work if you have the shifter on the steering wheel?
Yes but it requires some work, and an extra harness I believe. I looked into doing it but I like having the extra room in the console rather than the shifter.
My main thing is I still want the center shifter
Do you happen to know if I have the inverter if it will all plug and play?
Not sure
yes it will. everything except the 2 ambient lights will work with no Mods
I’m begging someone to tell me how to do this, what if I want to have the hand shifter instead of the column? What do I have to do? Thank you!
You have to do some wiring and get a new cable. F150 forum has step by step directions.
Can you tell us, how much do the console swap cost?
$250
Do you have a parts list for the dash parts?
Everything you need is in the description part number wise
where did you find the insert that replaced your shifter?
Ford dealer , sticker shock, priciest piece other than console itself. Got mine through a friends body shop saved a couple bucks but not much.
Enjoy, that center sliding door is guaranteed to eat credit cards, identification cards or anything you get near it
