Console Vault - In Vehicle Safe Review

[OG_Beaker]

+1 for Lock'erDown vaults. I just finished installing their extreme version (they upgraded me for free due to a delay in shipping) in my '19 1500 limited. Install was easy, and the tabs came off intact. I made the choice to cut the mat, but honestly, it's a cheap replacement if I wanted to put it back in, and I could even just lay the other side back down if I really wanted to since the cut was right on the seam where the flip-down divider went (which was also removed). 100% happy with the customer service and the product. I used the group buy option (thanks securityguy) to get the discount, free light, and magnet.

Would you mind telling me how wide this safe is? There appears to be some question as to whether it works in a TRX.

Their website says it doesn’t fit in a TRX. I would shoot them an email. They are pretty quick to respond.

From what I’m told, they’re asking a few TRX owners if they will come by (so they can measure). It’s not clear to me if it DOESNT work, or they just don’t know IF it will work. That’s why I was asking for a measurement. I wasn’t aware that there were any differences in the cab of the TRX (vs. a regular DT).

Sure thing. Here are some measurements eyeballed with a cloth tape. Fair disclaimer: I did not bust out the calipers or take out the safe to measure it, but these numbers are to the closest 1/8th hash on the tape.



Depth is around 2" at the "front" and 3.25" at the "back" (the console floor is uneven). Hope that helps!

What are you talking about?

And for what it's worth, I'm trying to HELP SOMEONE ELSE OUT with these measurements.

Oh wait, you're mad about the hamster comment on your squeaky pedal post, aren't you? Just having a little fun - not sure why you got upset about it. If I had the solution for your issue, I would have given it.

I understand your point. However, removing the tabs is super simple and you'll never use or need them again anyway. I also like the digital keypad since it's a ton easier to get to versus having to pull out a key or turn 3 or 4 thumb wheels in an emergency. Personal preference I guess, but I like the Lock'erDown units options far better and the additional security of the Exxtreme with an additional 10 gauge plate attached. Eitherway, you can't go wrong with either. I put together the LD group-buy since that was my preference.

Is the group buy still available?

Try entering the code RAMTRUCKS and see if it's still active...I believe it is Please confirm.

Question though... you get a tougher safe. A thief tries harder to get into it. How much value of damage to your truck does he do in comparison to the value of what is in the safe?

I would use mine for the times I might run into someplace I couldn't carry like going in the courthouse for something (bank or liquor store do not count since they just have to ask you to leave) . It's not like I would store a $5000 collectible pistol and a pound of gold bullion in the console while I parked in the projects for a week and went to Hawaii.

Give a thief enough time they can get into anything. I’m also of the thought that I need ready access so my firearm is always on me…..with a few exceptions….my main use would be to lock it up when I’m around my grandkids, they can be nosy and curious but they can’t weld a crowbar…yet!

Do you recommend the elec lock? And the extreme?

Group buy code not available so I guess not. Don’t even have the truck but getting antsy and wanting to order stuff!

I highly recommend them both...most all buyers bought them both.

I was just on console vault’s site and am seeing reviews that the front of the lock box relies on the plastic divider to prevent access… can anyone confirm if purchased recently? I know this is an older thread, but seems they may have changed construction to plastic sides and an open front (per a few reviews on their site).

Buy the Locker Down safe and call it a day. There is no better safe for these trucks.

That review is BS…the divider has to be flipped up so the until sits down in the console flush and it is solid steel all the way around. I’ve owned nothing but Console Vault for ten years and have them installed in all our family trucks (Rams and one Ford), and they’ve never failed when when some a$$ broke into our Laramie - they tried but got nothing from Console Vault. And yes, Console Vault like Locker Down is made from 12 gauge steel. Most others are 16 gauge steel.
