The Ford F-150 has been the #1 best selling truck in the US for decades. With the top of the line reputation of the Ford F-Series, the team at RAM® Mounts took one out for a test drive, determining the best ways to mount various devices specifically for this truck. At RAM®, we say that you can mount anything, anywhere, and offer a wide range of mounting components for any vehicle, but just because you can doesn't mean you should. To ensure F-150 drivers are using the best gear for their truck, we've cut through the noise and done the heavy lifting to determine what is truly the best.
Best Mount for ’15-20 Ford F-150
RAM® Bond-A-Base™ Adhesive Track System (RAP-398-BLK-TRACK-AU)
Track mounting is becoming increasingly popular for trucks, and for those looking to integrate a track system into their F-150 dash, this adhesive base for the ’15-20 F-150 is a quick and easy way to integrate a track system into your vehicle without drilling any holes. The 5 3/8” x 7 ¼” adhesive base fits perfectly into the center dash pocket of the ’15-20 F-150 Models when the soft insert is removed.
With this base you can mount up to two devices of your choosing into the track, see how our experts configured a small tablet and phone on the F-150 dash:
Small tablet mount: RAM® X-Grip® Universal Holder for 7"-8" Tablets + RAM® Double Socket Long Arm + RAM® Aluminum Track Ball Base

Best Phone Mount for Ford F-150
RAM® X-Grip® Large Phone Mount with Twist-Lock™ Suction Cup - Long (RAM-B-166-C-UN10U)
Suction cup mounting remains among the most common solutions to mount a phone in a truck. Our experts recommend opting for the long socket arm to keep your phone at an easy-to-reach distance from the wheel. A Quick-Grip™ style phone holder is available with this same suction cup mount, it is simply up to your discretion on which style you prefer.
For those looking to avoid windshield mounting, the suction cup can also be used on the dashboard in the vehicle using the 3.5” Adhesive Plate. Adhesives do not always bond well with heavily textured surfaces on vehicle dashboards, so we recommend applying this adhesive plate to the center accessory pocket in the dash, which provides smoother surface for the adhesive to secure to.

Beyond Laptop: No-Drill™ Floor Mounts for Tablets

Seat Wedge Mounts
RAM® Tough-Wedge™ Base with Ball (RAM-B-407U)
The best mounting location can often be a matter of personal preference, making it noteworthy to factor in these alternate mounts. For mounting near the center console, the Tough-Wedge™ seat mount can be an ideal solution since it offers stability and keeps both of your cup holders accessible. For heavy duty use or if you're mounting a larger tablet, our experts recommend the pump version of the Tough-Wedge™ is recommended.
Cupholder
RAM® Stubby™ Cup Holder Ball Base (RAP-B-299-4U)
The RAM® Stubby™ Cup holder base fits perfectly in either cup holder of the Ford F-150. When mounting a phone or handheld It is recommend to only stick with the medium length double socket arm and avoid the long arm, as the long arm will likely lead to the device blocking some of the vehicles dash controls. It's important to know that while the Stubby™ cup holder base will secure properly into this truck’s cup holder, the inserts of the cup holder have some movement to them, making it not a stable platform. Our team recommends opting for the RAM® Tough-Wedge™ if you're looking to have your device secured in this general area.
While these are merely our top recommendations, there is a wide variety of mounting components that are applicable to this truck and other vehicles. To view all options that are compatible with the Ford F-150, explore our F-150 Mounts Collection.
