Thats how F150s been for awhile. Even top trims.
you may be thinking off the one under AC controls. We are referring to the upper glove box. 302A and up still have door with open button under vent to right of infotainment screen.
great postI'm hoping to do this to my 2022 XL whenever I take delivery of it. Been a little over 7 months waiting so far. I bought a used upper glove box off of Ebay from an XLT which I believe uses the same color/accent as a XL. I then ordered the button from Red Rock Ford. It was a bit difficult to track down but I've included the part number for the button and I took a photo of the upper glove box part number on the side. I hope this helps.
How much did all of this cost? I’m considering this myself.I'm hoping to do this to my 2022 XL whenever I take delivery of it. Been a little over 7 months waiting so far.

You have to push the button like your the driver with t-rex arms (left corner of the button), and close it like you're the driver with t-rex arms (left side only of the bar). At least that's how I get mine to work.
I paid $243 for the upper glove box that I found on Ebay and $45 for the button which I had to buy brand new. $288 is pricey for what it is but I'm already in pretty deep on this truck anyway lol
I had the same thoughts and findings that for some reason the door stops opening. Also, being cursed with OCD, the "open button" under the right A/C vent throws off the balance under the left A/C vent (I don't have the trailer backup wheel thingy)This is my 2022 XL without the upper glove box door. I initially would have preferred the door, but the expense and hassle to add a door are not worth it to me. Notice the blanked off missing push button under the right AC vent that opens the upper door that models with the upper door have, just this may be very expensive to add. This really bugged me after I ordered my XL and found out the 2022 XLs did not get the upper door and the 2021 XLs did, I have grown used to it and do not miss it at all now. Actually a few months ago when I was searching "missing upper glove box door", found out there were a few people having issues with the upper doors, might be an advantage to people that keep their truck long term not to have the door as its opening/closing mechanism wears out.
I mean, you can do all that by just leaving the door open, too. It’s not like there’s an interlock keeping the truck from moving while the cubby door is open. That said, I do think the door is awkward and likely to break, and I strongly suspect that equal to cost reasons is why it was deleted for lower trim vehicles likely to be owned by fleet operators. They hate fiddly breakable stuff like that door.
Why is that door more subject to breakage compared to the larger door?In a more work oriented truck I kinda like the open bin. Certainly beats this nonsense in the 2020 that wouldn't contain much more than a Snickers bar and a pack of gum. I haven't heard of issues with the door but it has that "this thing is going to break eventually" feel about it. If warranty costs were adding up that cost would also help drive deletion.
