Uh, what is this thing?

It's a freakin Smiley face..

 

^ lol.

 

omg...lol.. no but it is a cup holder... its pretty useless unless you are using more than the front two cupholders.. when someone is in the back seat theres really no room for drinks in it.... but it is a cool ass smiley

 

Maybe its a foot rest?

 

when you and your old lady go to Arby's and you have two drinks to wash your food down and two milkshakes, you put the milkshakes back there until your finished with the drinks.

 

my 97 has it ,

 

rofl

 

Yeah it is a cup holder and for a booster child seat extender.It shows thta in the owners manual.I thought the same thing is it really that safe?

 

I would say it is as the car seat will be held in by the seat belt to the truck. The shelf part really does not have much weight on it if the car seat is installed correct.

 

OMG guys, read your owner's manual. It is for extra support for a car seat, as many have said. Look above the back of the seat, where you will see a protrusion covering a hard point for strapping the seat in. This is only on the passenger side. Cupholders are just a secondary feature.

You can also use it to better support other bags or crap you might throw back there.

 

Ok sweet thanks for the info. And I cant read my owners manual because I dont have a truck lol.

 

Anybody have one of these in oak (brown/beige) that they would be willing to part with? Mine is beat up.

 

I think I'd be willing to part with mine, all done with baby seats and never used it as a cup holder. Give it to ya, you pay shipping.

 

Well you could get an owner's manual off Ebay for the truck you don't have. Sit in your room and read it and make truck noises.

 

Easy. Its for holding those two beers you haven't drank yet.

(This does not promote drinking and driving)




...please drink responsibly

 

I have one of those thingamajigs on my 95 as well

 

I've always wondered what that thing was too.

 

i think its useless. i hate the front cup holders to. hard to reach climate controls.... im taking that thing out

 

I've got my interior out of my truck right now. I should have carpet delivered later today. I'm doing a little low budget sound dampening before I install the carpet. I'm just going to carpet over the mounting holes. There are 2 on the other side that I never noticed with the carpet in.
