[QUOTE="SurfRaptor, post: 1759298, member: 38811"] I know there are a few threads about lockable storage, but they mostly include firearms, and that is not my primary use. The scenario is for someone who does outdoor activities, for example surfing. You pull up to your favorite surf spot, change into your wetsuit and grab your board. Where do you lock your keys, wallet and cell phone? I was excited about having a vehicle with a code entry, so I would not have to worry about keeping a key in my wetsuit or using the [URL='https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000I66JEM/?tag=fordraptorforum-20']trailer hitch safe[/URL]. However, the key FOB being stored inside the vehicle could technically send a signal, and it could be started and stolen? Especially if it's in the center console? Is the only other option, lockable storage under the rear seat? I've seen that also, but it looks like you would end up losing storage in the rear since it cannot fold back down when not in use.
