Wondering if anyone has installed these before and/or were thinking about doing so? If so, curious to know how easy-to-install and how secure the product is. Any other considerations ?

Briefly considered something like that, but find it easier to have my .45 on my person, in the glovebox, or wedged inbetween the seat/console. Not sure how the latter will work out with the truck once I have it.
Looks like a drop-in unit and they claim 10-minute installation. Unclear how it is attached to the plastic console but it looks like simple tamperproof screws which would be easy to rip out. Thieves would just take the whole unit.
Mopar offers a few locking storage accessories such as the RamBox, Under Floor Storage Lock, and Glovebox Lock. These would discourage the unprepared thief, and the under floor boxes are hidden under the floor mat.
My Jeep CJ had several locking compartments that were bolted to the metal body (I had to drill holes). They were very secure although the vehicle itself was easy to break into. Something similar could be mounted in the bed of the pickup. Truck Vault is one example.
It is very durable and thick guage. The combo lock is decent.
Install is a breeze. You slide it in, you open it, you use a wrench on four bolts that burrow holes into the plastic console. You'll never get it out without a crowbar and you'd destroy the console in the process. (Break in / forced entry)
The door is fairly small. You're not going to store a full size 1911 in there for quick access. A compact .380 auto or j-frame .38 will draw out of there cleanly.
