Is the parcel shelf on the SR5 deleted in higher trim levels?

My SR5 has a handy parcel shelf on the passenger's side of the dash directly in front of the passenger. You'll notice that the pic of a Capstone interior that was recently posted has what appears to be a wooden insert where the shelf is on the SR5. Is this piece hinged, or pop out for access to the shelf? It seems a shame that a handy item like this shelf would not exist in higher trim levels (my wife likes to stash her sunglasses there).

 

Yes, it's gone from trims above SR5.

 

What exactly is a parcel shelf?

 

A shelf.
For parcels.
Duh.

 

It's not really a parcel shelf, but more like a long cubby. And it is very handy.

 

its great if you have a passenger princess but otherwise its wasted.

since the wife drives it as her daily, its never used and i drive my 4R to work

 

You can see the shelf, or part of it (to the right of the screen), in this pic of an SR5 dash.

I think of this when I think of a parcel shelf.
It must be a pretty big shelf in that Gen 3 dashboard...

My '72 Mercury Comet had a parcel shelf instead of a glove box. Was a very convenient place to put my amplifier that I wanted to make sure everyone knew I had.

 

The TRD Pro has the cubby.

 

Wait, my pro doesn't have a cubby.

 

Negative sir. Not on the new ones.
(You're in the 3rd Gen forum....)

TRD Pro based on the Limited trim.
Limited and above trim levels = no cubby/shelf/sunglass holder area for the missus.

 

He has a 3rd Gen, though it seems it’s a 1794, not a Pro. https://www.tundras.com/threads/toggle-paddle-switch-configuration.150711/

Not everyone updates their profile info when they get a new rig. Also, the 2.5 gen Pro didn’t have a cubby either.

 

I disliked the shelf in my SR5 at first, but looking at other trucks without it makes me like it even more. Just adds more lines to the aesthetics.
