I have a 2024 Ford F150 Lariat FX4. I oredered a half safe for my console. It would not fit. The front to back length of the safe that I ordered was 13.97 inches, front to back. Ther rear plate was about a 1/4" too wide. My console is 12 1/4", front to back. Have any of you had this problem? Do you know of a safe that would fit my console? This is what I ordered: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D2VK9LM5?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

I got a half safe for my '23 F150 a year or so ago- fits good- but I see the price is up to $309. No complaints with mine so far though:

The reviews for that product indicate numerous people installing it in a 2024 F150. Did they send you the wrong safe?

No. In the pictures of the product there is a dimension shown of 13.97" from front to back. They say it is for a 2024. I didn't check the dimensions before I ordered it. When I got it I tried to install it and it wouldn't fit. I've been looking all over the net and the ones that show the dimensions are all 13.97". I can't find one with a 12 1/4" dimension, other than some full safes, but I would rather have the half safe.

I had the safe Apollo sells for my 2019. The original manufacturer went out of business and someone else is making them. The locking slide changed. And in the older versions there was a steel plate that went under the console you installed and then bolted the safe to. Now they just have you lag bolt into the console floor in the plastic…

That's partly why I haven't installed it yet. I want to put a metal plate under the console that it bolts to instead of just the plastic.

Odd that multiple other reviews indicate it fits in their truck of the same model year. Hmmm.

If you have a picture of your center console setup, I know of a half safe that may fit. Check out the B&V Center Console Safe. If you look at the installation guide, it shows you exactly which center console style it will fit.

Could this be the reason. It appears there may be different floors in the consoles.

I think you nailed it. I recall a post a while back from a vendor, either this site or another one asking for someone with the alternate style to get measurements for their organizers they make.

I actually just installed that exact same model into my 2024 King Ranch FX4 this weekend and it fit great. But I bought mine from eBay: HERE

The tolerances are tight and it's pretty fiddly to get the screws tightened on the inside, but it fits great and secure. My console has the flat bottom. I can post pictures if anyone wants to see.

I went through this a while back with another brand. They actually sent me the safe, and I tried to put it in and it would not fit. Turns out it was because I had the PowerBoost. Something in the floor changed the dimensions of the console, just enough where it would not fit.
