Second glove box
Just wondering if everyone has found the second glove box, it hadn't been shown to me at the dealership and didn't get noticed until about a month ago when my son was fooling around and said hey dad what's this...
Yeah, my salesman had showed that to me. My wife drives the truck mos tof the time though, and doesn't keep anything in there. I throw random stuff that I don't want in my pockets in there when I go to the gym in her car, and that is about it. We do keep a small flashlight in there though, in case we ever need it.
I actually use the top (smallest) one the most. I have my pens, post-its, registration & insurance, small notebook, fuel mileage notebook, air pressure gauge, etc.
I'm trying to think of what I have in the larger glove box...I believe the real small basic owner's manual and a few things for the cell phone.
Does anyone use the compartment under the 2nd row for anything? On a regular basis? I like the fact it is there, but have yet to use it for anything. When I bought it, I told myself that it will be used for those times when I want to tuck keys or valuables out of the way.

I'd have preferred that the PF had one large glove box than one small one and one tiny one. I also don't use the storage compartment underneath the second row seats. IMO it is in there in a way that makes it quite difficult to use. I'd have preferred some kind of storage compartment in the back by the gate to the one underneath the seats.

Got that right!geoffstgermaine wrote:I also don't use the storage compartment underneath the second row seats. IMO it is in there in a way that makes it quite difficult to use.
It is a good concept, I suppose, to have a hidden storage bin like that. But having to flip the seat(s) to get to it makes it a royal PITA to use. Mine has been empty since day-one. Nissan could have saved themselves a few bucks per unit by deleting that from the feature list, and I doubt that anyone would have missed it.In all fairness, the '01 Isuzu Trooper I traded had the same feature, although IT was big enough to store the jumper cables I always carry, as well as my hitch ballmount. That's not the case with the PF, as those same cables now lay wrapped in a towel in the cargo area, and the ballmount lives in my garage. Having said all that, carping about the thing seems nit-picking.

We have yet to use the 2nd row storage for anything, but in my old Titan I kept my jumper cables, flashlight, and a few tools in the underseat storage it had. The Titan had a large under-seat storage bin. It was removable as well if you needed to flip the seats up for really big stuff that you didn't want in the bed.

). as for the second glove box, i actually like it...keep my lanyard w/ badges, keys, etc. there...no more forgetting it at home.
I keep a tow strap, a couple of shackles and a pair of work gloves in the 'smugglers box', hopefully stuff I don't need on a regular basis !
I agree, it would be more useful if it were slighty bigger.
As for the second glovebox, I've got a slim fire extinguisher and tissues in there, no room for anything else.
