40/20/40 seating + center work surface --- be aware the part you rest your arm on does not open.

[Wishiwas]

Just an FYI, if you are ordering your truck with 40/20/40 seating, and you want as Ford call it "INTERIOR WORK SURFACE", be aware the part you rest your arm on does not open. Yes, the "20" part seat that goes on the floor does, but you have to fold the work surface up to access the compartment. I bought my truck off the lot, and I am 99.99% happy. Its just i don't use the work surface and would prefer the extra storage in the arm rest.

I have the 40/console/40 and the armrest only pushes/slides back to reveal the bin underneath. The actual armrest doesn't seem to be used for storage. I'd love it if the armrest could be used for storage as well.

Personally I think the work surface is a gimmick. I would trade mine out if it would fit. The issue for the other person might be I don't know if Ford included the warning wiring if the tray isn't in the locked position.​

I ordered the 40/20/40 seating since I have 4 children and a wife. ? Do you have any pictures of this? I'd be curious to see how it looks. Almost every other truck I've found online has the console.

The last 2 pictures are of the optional cup holders when the arm rest is in the up position (which I always keep mine). Ford used to include that cup holder and it came inside the compartment like I show it in the last picture. Well worth the money to me. If you keep the console in the down position, your arm is resting on HARD plastic.

Very interesting. Thanks so much. That's the first picture I've seen of this particular configuration. After seeing those pictures, I think I would have been ok with just not having the work surface. Oh well.. it's already ordered with a build date of 2/22, so I don't want to mess that up.

This is what I was looking. You had to order that cup holder separate? My2015 XLT came with it. I removed the head rest and always had my armrest down and the bottom cup holder flipped outward. In fact, I was the first one that start the leather armrest swap for the 40/20/40 swap on the 13th gens.

Correct, the cup holders no longer come with the truck. I checked a few on the lot just to see if someone took mine during a test ride etc. I got it from Tasca. I live about 1/2 hour drive so I picked it up at their dealership. They are on eBay as well.

You can add centre console in the after market.

After test driving the 40/20/40 with the work surface, that Pt is how I ordered my build. The plastic is not too hard and fit my elbow well. I like that the surface bends around front which the console version does not do. Less storage but more options.

There is extra storage above the glove box too.

I want the plastic work surface because the cloth 40/20/40 gets too dirty. The plastic will be much easier to clean and work great for having lunch, paperwork, etc. I find that all kinds of junk collects in my 2013 40/20/40 arm rest now.

I ordered the 40/20/40 seating with the interior work surface. Its frankly awful. Terrible for passenger with no good spot for the elbow. Has anyone had any luck removing it? My dealer had no clue.

Do you have the exact part number you had ordered for that? Was it this https://www.tascaparts.com/oem-parts/ford-holder-cup-ml3z1513562ab ?

Same here. 40/20/40 + work surface. Didn't realize it would raise the arm rest that much. Pretty uncomfortable after 20m of driving.

Anyone figure out the part # to replace just the work surface part or even just the folding seat (top half)?
