Is the center console storage space the same if you get the cool box option?

Center console question

Curious about this also. I don’t really care about a “cooler box” and use the console for misc storage. Can the cooling feature be disabled?
I think so too. I am planning on using it as a storage when not turned on. I think there is no other storage space in the center console.
Does someone have a picture of the center console (inside) without the cool box?
I think the cool box is a waste. I need as much storage as possible. Anyone who actually goes off-roading or camping will have either a cooler or fridge. I'm wondering how they implement the cooling. Is it simply re-routing A/C air or does it have it's own condenser system?
based on the owner’s manual its tied to the AC
I haven’t seen a pic/video yet of the standard console.
correct- $170 option on both OT & OT+

What about dimensions?
It’s not on all the time, just don’t turn it on but the space looks smaller with the cool box.
Non coolbox certainly looks to have more space(Pics i grabbed from Youtube reviews). Unfortunately, I haven't seen an overtrail/+ allocation that doesn't have coolbox included from the factory. Curious on the level of effort to convert post delivery.
I'd personally prefer having more storage and pack a cooler in the trunk.
Youtube links takes you direct to center console walk through without cool box.

Yep. Same here.
I have the cool box in my OT+. Buy I have used it as storage mostly. It does have decent space and when turned on, pretty good st cooling too.
I personally would rather just have the storage but I told my dealer if one came in with the cool box and had everything else I wanted I wouldn’t say “no”. I’d probably mostly use it as storage, but I certainly can see where it would come in handy.
I have an allocation coming end of june/early july, with the cool box option included, and interior storage options is something I care about and have been thinking through my options. I drive a Silverado 1500 now and the numbers interior storage options is one thing I've been thinking through. I use my center consoles a LOT and will use the cool box feature sparingly. I was concerned I would regret taking a build with that included, until I saw what the standard console looks like. It's honestly not much better storage wise.
Then I found this, which I am hoping will work - the dimensions look to be about the same. It's a tray that fits on the top of the toolbox. I wanted to ensure I would have a spot for quick access things like my pocket knife.
If this thing will work, I think I'll just keep less used items in a travel pouch, beneath this tray, and then if I am ever trying to use the coolbox I can just pull out the tray and the bag and drops some drinks in.
