This was a great help, thanks a lot! I kind of only watched until you started screwing in all the bolts because I figured I could put everything back together afterwards. But....right when I was walking to the truck to put it back together, I saw and realized I wanted the rubber mat back in. It was easy enough to unscrew everything, put the mat back on, flip over the dash piece and mark the holes with a silver Sharpie. Then I drilled from the back using the small bit, flipped it over and drilled with the larger bit on the top side. Well, drills bit don't work too well on the rubber and I had holes but it was impossible to put the screws into the dash mount, past the mat, and into the dash. After a minute of swearing, I realized you could put the dash mount on the rubber mat, push all 4 bolts through (which also holds it all in place), then put that assembly onto the dash. Everything looks and works great. One note, if you want to keep the rubber mat, then I suggest sliding the dash mount forward 1/8" to give a little room for the lip on the rubber mat.
Installed mine today and I can’t say enough good about it. Also, I ordered this stuff around Black Friday....I missed the coupon code and first thing the next day Matt emailed and told me he would cancel the order so I could order more and take advantage of the Black Friday discounts. I am a small business owner and there is nothing I enjoy more than shopping with a small business! Not to mention that Red Carpet service that you usually get from about 90% of the small businesses too. Thanks, Matt! I love my BuiltRight stuff!
i realize it's kinda off topic but does anybody know of a good site to stream new tv shows online ?
@Colten Harlan flixportal xD
@Lewis Boston Thank you, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :) Appreciate it!
@Colten Harlan no problem :D
Great video. I finally installed mine, and the instructions were perfect. I would like to advise that the stereo cover on the 2019 Ford Super Duties has a thin "mesh cover" over the main cover, so at 3:50 into the video, try to get the pry tool under the entire stereo cover, not the mesh portion. I could see some separation at the mesh cover when I attempted to remove it as shown in the video. No other issues. Also my left turn signal came on by itself, just as it did at 5:40 in the video.
Just got it installed, excellent quality and strength to hold heavy phones! Thanks for the excellent video too.
Awesome product. To overcome the inherent weakness of the plastic tray one could install a thin metal sheet on the underside to spread the stress across the entire tray and four attachment (screw) points.
Great minds! www.builtrightind.com/products/dash-mount-support-plate-2015-f-150-raptor-and-2017-super-duty?_pos=1&_sid=5117dd353&_ss=r
3 years later, to anyone wondering if it's worth it to splurge on the lower plate, my kit just came in today and I couldn't be happier. Glad I spent the extra few bucks to not have to make a lower plate myself. Theirs is overbuilt, just how I wanted it. It really is a must-have.
Overall impression of the product is 100% satisfied with my purchase. I didn't want some cheap flimsy garbage, and apparently they feel the same way. All the functionality you want without any excess wacky designs or features, like some other available offerings. Just heavy duty shit that'll probably outlast my truck. Good work!
Thanks!....my bracket just got delivered yesterday so looking foreward to the install.
Excellent video, im NOT mechanically inclined and don't even own a drill but going to give this a try with my laptop in the truck watching your every move! PS .. the packing and quality of the product is excellent, very impressed!
Just got mine installed using your video. Big thanks. This is what I love about CZcams
Glad to hear it! Thank you!
Thanks guys,this is exactly what I need . Now I’ll just try and figure out the most aesthetic way to have power on that plate also . A couple of USB connections flushed in would be a nice touch
Thanks! I have seen a few customers run power to a small flush-mounted plug along the front edge of the tray. Out of sight when in use. Really slick - I think a company named BlueSea makes some nice ones.
I just ordered this for my 2012 as well as the red aluminum mounting kit and 2 of the rear seat back releases.
my mount was sent to the wrong post office (thanks USPS). I can't wait to get it installed when it eventually arrives.
Great job with the video! The instructions are very clear. You mention a wiring harness for a gps. Is that to bring power to the dash tray area? If so, do you have or know of a video on that install?
Re: 2:02 I used the drilling template to cut the rubber "floor mat" that fits in that area to fit on top of the mount screwheads. You can store things in there now without worrying about scratching them on the screwheads (which will have sharp edges after touching them with a screwdriver).
The flip side is if you sell the truck and don’t use the rubber mat, you can remove the mount, place the rubber mat back in and cover the drilled holes. If I use the mount I will not drill the rubber mat. Just another option.
Old post but this is what I plan on doing, not cutting the rubber mat. BUT I’ll need to check for a PN on the backside of the mat and just buy a replacement if available, then I’ll cut my mat.
In my truck I’m debating to drill out a few holes in the semi vertical area behind your mount (area just under the speaker grill ) and add power plugs . Use 3.5mm jacks to USB . I think it would make for a clean looking setup , and provide a place to get power from if there’s a dash cam mounted on the bracket .
Did you ever do that? I'm curious how it looks if you did
Did you ever do it
@@keithreinert5835
No not yet . One day
Wish you had included the part where you loosened the speaker cover. Been nice to see how it was done. Can't get mine off. Just bending the crap out of the perforated piece. The clips do not want to release.
Others have asked but maybe you missed it. How hard is it to fish a wire up from the pass and driver side do you think? We need power up there. So many ask that.
Drill was a bit iffy, but overall very easy install and great video. Might was to remind customers somewhere next to the link for 1" ball mount that it does not come with screws
What screws do you recommend as I was annoyed the ball doesn't come with screws. Thx
Do you happen to know the ram mount part number or what exactly to order for the arm?
Where did you get the wiring harness from? I'm planning to mount my ham radio to the mounting bracket and then my dash cam on top of the ham radio and need a power outlet to plug into in that area. Now if I can figure out how to remove the trim piece around the navigation unit and the one under the steering column so I can run the wires from the passenger side behind the radio and to the switch that is going to be mounted next to the headlight switch for my train horns.
After installing the bracket (2022 F-350 super duty) I discovered that it's almost 1" too short to use for the purpose I intended to use it for. So now, I will have to make a spacer to mount the mounting bracket for my ham radio to so that the bottom of the radio will not ride on and beat up the dash. Other than that, it is very well made, I just wish that Ford had made the dash pocket indentation the same size on all 4 sides.
that harness you mentioned for your GPS power what is the name or part number of it ? thank you
Thanks. Good well done helpful video.
I lost my pry tool half way through and ripped that cover off and broke some clips... love the mount tho..
Wish there was something like this to fit my 2016 F450.
awesome video, it made me realize, I'll just put it ion my pocket
Buying in near future but gonna play around with a thin gauge steal plate to attach under plastic.

What’s your thoughts on using it to mount a 12” Lowrance HDS unit to it with ram mount?
What size arm did you use?
Any links to buy extra plastic clips (white part only).... asking for a friend.
Bought the builtright and it fits right in! Added mounts from Arkon and I'm loving it Thanks for the vid. QUESTION: the wiring harness you mention at the end.... could I use that to tap into 12v power? I am hoping to install a USB/Cigarette port at the back of this tray just under the speaker, and I'm wondering if that harness point carries power. Any change you could point me to that part?
Interested
Did you ever do it
@@keithreinert5835 I did. Works GREAT. Was able to fit three USB ports into the tray.... but didn't need a wiring harness. I used a "fuse tap" to take power from a nearby fusebox and then just grounded on a metal part of the chassis under the dash.
I've been looking for ideas on mounting my CB radio in my 2017 Superduty truck. I think this is my answer... looks great! I found the rear seat release on Amazon but couldn't find this. Do I need to order directly from you? Thanks!
Thank you and yes, ordering directly is best! We used to sell these on Amazon, but once the Chinese got a hold of one of our rear seat releases and started pumping out low quality counterfeits, we decided to stop selling new products on Amazon. We'd love to earn your business directly!
@@BuiltRightInd Ok sounds good. Wish I would have found you a couple weeks ago... leaving for Florida on vacation with the RV in a few days. I just have a temporary hillbilly mount for now. After reading the comments about the cheap counterfeit Chinese models I made sure the seat release was from your company. I'm always looking for things to make my life easier... and truck accessories do that! I try to support small business when I can. I will be ordering this after the vacation. Thanks!
Nice set up! Do you have the part numbers for the arm and phone holder you are using?

im assuming the 2015-2020 Ford 150 Mount will also work for a 2020 Ford Expedition since there basically the same ??
Where is the 2014 installation direction?
I had issues with the screws. They were Allen screws, and it appears everything in this model is Phillips head.
You have this for 04-08 f150?
How did you run the harness for your GPS unit? I’m looking to run a radio harness right from my battery up to this location
If you put an aluminum plate on the bottom would it help make it much stronger for the larger ball mount?
A thick plate on the bottom of the tray may help just a little bit with the very heavy attachments that are 'cantilevered' away from the mount. This would help prevent some of the flex in the plastic. The main thing is just that keeping something as heavy as a Lowrance HDS-7 or similar stable requires exponentially more rigidity than lighter items.
I believe there are two 7mm bolts under the trim on the front side. Personally, I like the BuiltRight but there are other brands out there that replace the tray with a steel plate that bolts front and back (four bolts) that provides a very sturdy mount. Wish BuiltRight could do that. The plastic part of the dash is always the weak spot for mounts.
I live in BC Canada . I’m assuming you guys don’t have a store in Canada ? I see it was discontinued on amazon, but after reading about the Chinese making knock offs , I understand
No stores in Canada yet, but shipping from the US is usually around $9 or so.
Is there a way to get 12V power up there? I have an 18 F250 and would love this to mount my trailer observation camera display but I hate wires running loose in the cab.
Best ways would be to run an add-a-fuse at the fuse panel in the passenger footwell and then fish a wire to a small hole in the tray. Another option is to tap into the power at the accessory plug which requires removal of the faceplate.
How hard was it to actually fish a wire up to that area? Any tips on how you might go about it? Thanks
Ha I was going to ask for this. The instructions are good, but no illustrations to see what you are getting into before starting. This is great. Can you post an Instagram pic with the thing fully loaded? Thanks man, good work! I like the candy too, always fun to get some freebies. :)
Glad this helped! I'll snap a picture of it fully loaded in the morning and throw it up on instagram @builtrightind. Thanks Aaron!
Do you get any screen bounce or screen vibration on rough roads when using the longer ram mount for your gps? I have used ram mounts before, they isolate some screen vibration, but the longer the arm can result in a vibrating screen. Thoughts and feed back appreciated.
You will definitely get a bit of movement with the long arm for the reason you mentioned as well as the fact that the dash isn't perfectly rigid. Our customers who need things to be absolutely locked down offroad use our dash mount along with a suction cup mount to the window. RAM has a three-way ball and some different cases with two mounts that allow you to use both arms on one device.
@@BuiltRightInd yeah, I am hoping that my Garmin 890 does not bounce when configured with the 5.5” ram arm mount. A bouncing or vibrating gps screen even on a secondary road is a no go. I may have to forgo mounting this bracket.
@@patriotone755 What did you end up using for the Garmin 890? I am looking to mount the same GPS.
@@user-rm1dg2qe4x I used the Builtright dash mount for my 2021 F 350. Very happy.
Do you guys make one of these for a 2013 Raptor
Yes! www.builtrightind.com/products/builtright-industries-dash-mount-2009-2014-ford-f150
What is the part number for the 1" ball square base Ram mount?
You're looking for the AMPs mount - www.rammount.com/part/RAM-B-347U
Thanks!...nice mount
The harness speaker is not coming off. It looks easy in this video
Working through this install. If the white clips didn’t break they fell the through the holes into the back of the dash (two broke and two fell through). Does anyone know what the clips are called and where a guy could get them? Ford wants $51.37 for the speaker grill...
Darn! I'm told these work great: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FW25CGD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
@@BuiltRightInd From some searching online, it sounds like these are the oem clips and part number. My Ford dealership said they have them in stock (at something like $2.99 a pop)... Thanks for the reply and help!
Trim Molding Clip - Ford (-W714972-S300).
What is the model number for the phone mount?
Do y'all know if this would work with the same generation (2019) Expedition?
We've confirmed that it does!
@@BuiltRightInd Great, ordered!
looks great.
what are the dimensions of the mount?
Thanks! The base is 6.75in wide by 4.25in deep.
Cool. Btw the “thing” you refer to to mark drill hole locations is called an Awl.
I'm aware, thanks. Slipped my mind once the camera started rolling and I was 'on the spot'!
Any plans for a dash mount for 09-14 150s? Didn't see one on the website.
They're on the site as a pre-order right now, but will be in stock and shipping at the end of the week!
Thanks!
What about install video on the '13 f150
Do you guys have options for a 2009-2014 f-150?
Yessir! Search our site for part number 104017
Only negative I see is now you can't put the rubber mat back down.
We've been having a lot of customers either trim the mat to put it back down or actually just cut holes and bolt the dash mount through the mat into the tray. You've got options!
Anyone know a parts number for the white clips 😂
I didn’t get a sticker or any candy! I’m sending it back
First!
