Havis expanded its ‘VSX’ line with an all-new console for 2021-2027 [Ford F-Series vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/full-size-pickup-trucks) that turns the cab into a single organized work zone. The unit is built for [fleet operators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/commercial-compact-work-trucks) who need one setup that can be repeated across trucks, while keeping controls and computing gear within reach.

The console uses a [factory-style fit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/factory-backed-off-road-packages) and a shared accessory ecosystem so agencies can standardize upfits across different vehicle roles without redesigning each one. It also includes a 9-inch-wide mounting area plus a second 3.3-inch section, giving teams room for radios, control heads and other mission gear without crowding the cabin.

Havis shows how a console built around standardization and durability can suit public safety and utility vehicles, where downtime and clutter can slow the workday, while repeatable fit gives fleets that want faster installs and cleaner driver layouts a practical advantage.
