Do we know that it's not lockable? Forgot to look in the pix of the dash.....
You know I forgot too. I just looked through all my pictures and I think I took shots of everything but the glove box. lol Here's one I found from someone else and it looks like there's a keyhole there? Maybe your eyes are better than mine. ?

Can't tell. Blown up as much as I can, looks like the Badlands logo? Can't tell if there's a teeny slot there or not....surely there is!! C'mon, Ford. We need lockable storage.

I'm sure the aftermarket will come up with plenty lockable storage ideas. The locks on glove box or center console are usually crap and not even worth locking, better to avoid damage if somebody wants to go through them. All the ones I've ever seen were cheap and mostly plastic, nothing that would resist a simple screwdriver or strong pull. Damaged dashboard is probably not a cheap fix.

I'm hoping for something under the front seats or in the trunk, maybe in the under floor storage area? I think there's a lid opening for a below floor compartment, just judging from some pics I've seen. Little vault in the center console would be my least favorite (fiddling with two lids all the time seems a pain), but I'll just see what shows up. A drawer under the seat with a number lock would be nice, or even with a finger print reading lock. Don't really want an extra key.

I don't plan to ever leave valuable things in there, but sometimes you just have to stash something for a while.

Gladiator has just such a thing. I think any lockable box that you can attach would work. I'd aim for the rear footwells since I plan to pull the rear seats out anyway.

I did some googling. This might be a good aftermarket option:
https://www.consolevault.com/
That is the company Ford uses that you can get as an accessory at order (on some models) or from parts. I have one in my Explorer. The ones you order through Ford can be a little more expensive and have a Ford logo on them but they are the same vaults available directly from ConsoleVault with either 3 or 4 number combinations or key lock. They are very easy to install and feel pretty secure.

Sure looks like it! Must've been a prototype that I was thinking of that had a glove box without a lock

He is another option if you have more stuff than will fit in your center console. :)

Take the top off and bolt the safe into the back of the Bronco. Better yet, Ford doesn't even have tops yet so you won't have to worry about that.
