For me its more about charging. The wireless charger in the Ranger is better than previous car wireless chargers I've used, but it still tends to overheat the phone which is going to degrade the battery over time.

Plus this truck is lacking storage space, so its nice to free up the charger area for other junk.

Wireless overheating was my experience as well. I posted my solution before. I plugged in a small 4 port hub to the USB hub and ran a lightning cable off that. Since then I upgraded to the iPhone 15 pro so now I use the USB-C port

I have both mounts from the manufacturer of proclip for the RR for almost 6 months.

Drover side: It was is fine for regular driving use, but will fall off during offroad use.
Passenger drawer: holds great and no issues so far

Also, driver side one deformed a bit (probably due to our extremely hot sun) and no longer holds as good as when new. currently looking for a more durable replacement.

I got the proclip MagSafe charger but I wouldn’t recommend it. It installs very securely but since the actual charger projects a bit, the phone is totally in the way of the wiper control. The charger itself is pretty well designed but the position is no good.

Mount higher on the clip. Or better yet, get a Magnetic mount which is easier to use and takes up less space.

It’s on the very top of the clip and it is the MagSafe magnetic mount. Pretty much the same as yours but mine charges and is mounted higher. It’s on a non Raptor so maybe there’s some difference?

it was really hard to remove without scratching the plastic dashboard trim too. I think CarPlay and the touch charger give me what in need for now.

I installed a RAM Mount this week - RAM Flex Adhesive Double Ball Mount for Apple 25W MagSafe with an Apple 25W MagSafe charger connected to the USB C port.

The built in wireless charger was pathetic and now I can have a good spot for my phone to sit and charge without overheating. I don't need my phone in my eyeline with Carplay and this ended up being great for keeping cords tidy.
