Anyone else find out about the storage compartment and feel stupid?

[25PlatTrem350]

We've had Casper, my wife's white 25 RR, since this past Dec. and it wasn't until today that I knew there was a secret little storage compartment above the glove box. I knew the F150's and my SD F350 had one but I didn't know the RR's had them until today when my daughter pushed the little button and opened it up and said hey dad did you know this was here like you truck. The completely slackjawed dumdfounded look on my face pretty much gave it away so I couldn't even lie to save face.

Geez talk about feeling like an idiot!!

Curious if any of you discovered it, after, you had your RR's for awhile and how long it took before you discovered it. We've had my wife's for seven months so I'm guessing I'll probably win the dumbass award for the longest without knowing it was there.

Thanks appreciate that. lol

When she reached up and pushed the little button and the top of the dash popped open it was certainly one of those WTF moments that is for sure.

I had one on my RAM so I was use to it when I got my Ranger

Posted same thing but it was 2 or 3 months after buying it. Felt like a moron after reading another post in the forum about hand gun storage and thinking “upper glove box?” Sure enough the next morning, there it was…

What makes it worse is my 25 F350 has one too but it's a little more obvious where as the one in the RR's is pretty sneaky and inconspicuous.

My wife didn't know though until I showed her about two weeks after I got it and she wanted to drive it. One of the first things I do in a new car though is start pushing all the buttons just to see what they do and hope I don't get ejected from the car on a rocket powered seat like a fighter jet

Did know about the RR but had a similar moment working a security detail for the world cup final in a Tahoe.

I knew about from the get-go, but only because I watched YouTube reviews prior to buying..

I found it the day I bought. I was like, hey what's this button do? I like how it is not obvious.

That compartment reminded me of my old 94 Ranger where you could pry off the passenger airbag cover (did not have airbag equipped) and use it for secret storage.

Like I tell everyone I train on equipment at work. "pretend you're 12 again, play with it a little bit" ahahahah they normally tell us. "this starts it, this is drove, reverse, this does this, and that does that, you'll figgure the rest out"

I give em little more detail then I was ever taught, but I always end it with. "play with it like you're 12 again, push buttons, see what does what" lol
