Ford's customizable console patent rethinks cabin storage and media placement

Ford Motor has filed a patent for a customizable console that could be used in the brand’s future vehicles.

The idea is to let owners shape the cabin around their habits, tailoring storage and features to what they actually use day to day.

Pull-out compartments: they make organizing easier and help use the available space more efficiently.

Bag hooks: they keep small items in place and make trips more comfortable by securing personal belongings.

Refrigerator modules: they add the option to keep food fresh even on long drives.

Lockable boxes: they provide a protected spot for valuables.

Screens and speakers: they can be positioned freely in the cabin, simplifying the placement of add-on equipment and audio exactly where the owner wants it.

Altogether, the concept points to Ford’s push for cabins that are more convenient and more versatile, with solutions shaped by user preferences rather than one-size-fits-all layouts. The approach feels practical: thoughtful storage, a secure place for essentials, and flexible media placement address the everyday nuisances that drivers notice first.
