About this product
A fold-down center dash GPS mount for the Garmin TREAD XL, made for the 2024–2026 Ford Raptor and Raptor R and the 2024 and newer F-150 with the heads-up-display-style dash. It mounts to the center section of the stock dash and folds down when you are not using it.
A large off-road GPS needs a mount that holds it still on rough ground and is out of the way on the highway. This one bolts to an adapter under the dash plastic for solid support, locks in position with knurled knobs, and folds away when the trail ends.
What Is In The Kit
- 1 GPS mount backing plate
- 1 base mount with radial slot
- 2 carriage bolts and stainless quick knobs
- 6 stainless bolts, plus 4 nuts and washers
- 1 mic mount adapter plate, for a magnetic mic mount
Does not include the GPS unit or the magnetic mic mount.
Why A Fold-Down Dash Mount
A GPS that moves around on its mount is hard to read and hard to touch accurately when the truck is bouncing. This mount ties into the stock dash in two places: the main section bolts to an adapter in the dash's center pocket, and a lower mount keeps the folding section secure and rigid so it does not move around while in use.
When you do not need the screen, loosen the knobs and fold it down out of the way.
How It Is Built
- Made from .090" thick steel and powder coated in black textured finish.
- Stainless hardware throughout.
- Knurled black stainless knobs tighten the mount after you rotate it up or down, securing the GPS in position.
- Radial slot in the base mount sets the angle.
Fitment
Vehicles: 2024–2026 Ford F-150 Raptor and Raptor R (Gen 3.5), and 2024 and newer Ford F-150 with the heads-up-display-style dash.
GPS: Designed for the Garmin TREAD XL. Works with the 10" and 8" TREAD XL devices that use the magnetic back mount system.
Installation
The kit uses the center pocket on the stock dash: an adapter bolts in under the plastic, and the main section of the mount attaches to it. The lower mount then secures the folding section.
