Ford F-150 (2009–2014): 52 mm gauge pod for the centre console cup holder – no drilling

Description

For the 12th-gen Ford F-150 (2009–2014), including Raptor and EcoBoost: the pod drops into the centre console cup holder and holds one 52 mm gauge – usually boost on the EcoBoost, transmission temperature for towing.

• The insert follows the tapered OEM cup holder, clamps with crush ribs at the bottom and rests with a collar at the top – no rattles, no drilling.
• Round: turn it toward the driver in the holder.
• Tilt 45 or 60°, a pedestal carries the cup, an M3 set screw secures the gauge.
• The cable leaves at the back above the holder rim.
• Prints without supports.

Crush ribs absorb ±0.5 mm; too loose: felt tape at the bottom of the insert. Bore +0.4 mm, check with the test ring.

Dimensions

Material and temperature

Location out of direct sun: PETG works, ASA as well. Still no PLA – a parked car gets very hot inside.

Print orientation: Insert down on the bed, cup pointing up.

Safety notice

The cup holder sits in the centre console. The pod must not obstruct the shifter, armrest or controls – check before driving. Install at your own risk. Never mount in an airbag deployment zone, never cover controls, never restrict the view. Follow the material and temperature advice. Add-ons may affect the type approval of the vehicle (§ 19 StVZO in Germany); keep edges in the head and knee area rounded (UN Regulation No. 21).

Not an original part. No affiliation with the vehicle manufacturers named; make and model names only indicate fitment.

Only with a centre console (not the bench seat). Holder shape from two inserts (Printables 734349 CC BY-NC, 1572289 CC0). Centre console, no airbag there.
