Hey 
I realize that this is an old old post, but it's the only real relevant post that I see when I search this topic.
(If there is another more comprehensive post about this then I would greatly appreciate a link!)

 

There are numerous brackets with arms (I bought a Tackform) that can be mounted in this tray, and several people in this thread are mentioning what I think is one of them.

I wanted to post this to give you guys a heads up here.
These storage trays are not all the same. Some of these trays are molded completely into the dash as part of the dash (not removeable) and some of them pull out after removing the bolt and freeing up the four clips.

 

It looks TO ME like the ones that have the bolt-hole in the upper, thinner, forward compartment closer to the windshield are the ones that can be removed. You can see an example of this above in this same thread. You can find these for sale from GM parts sellers and they all look like this.
If your bolt-hole is in the large lower compartment that is further away from the windshield then you likely have the all-in-one non-removeable tray. I have not seen a tray for sale with the lower bolt-hole.

I confirmed with my dealer with VIN number that mine is all one piece.

My truck is a 2020 Custom Trail Boss. None of the available trays I've seen have listed Custom trim as being compatible so there's that. So maybe Custom/WT... these have the plastic dash that doesn't look as leathery.

 

EDIT: now I've seen at least one example of what looks like at least an LT with this style dash tray that's not removeable. I really do think that the location of the bolt is the determinant here.

Attached is pic of my bolt location (not removeable.)
Hope this helps some of the frustrated people that may be looking for what is up with this.

    • This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.
    • I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps. 
    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
