So, the square hole where the trailer brake stuff should be seems like a huge waste of space.

Cellphone doesn't fit and not sure what else I might put in there.

Anyone seen/done anything interesting here?

I've seen several cool replacements for the coin holder but not this...

I'm assuming you're not interested in installing the factory trailer brake? I ended up going that route on my 150 when I couldn't find any other "cool" options. I'd be curious to see what's available now though.

Extremely unlikely to tow anything...especially anything that would require a trailer brake.

Although mine is already wired for trailer lights. Is that factory? Or did previous owner add it?

I think they all come factory with the 4-way flat connector. I read somewhere you can tell an Expedition that has the HD tow package because it will have both the 4-way flat AND the 7-way round connector. On the gen 3 the 4-way is always Left of the hitch.

Following. I removed my factory controller and replaced with a Prodigy after the factory literally melted internally 1000 miles from home. Prodigy doesn't fit in the hole.

If I can come up with a good idea, I have a 3D printer.
