@Scrambler:  You know, I completely forgot about this thread!  LOL  With all the excitement with my son's auto accident and my wife's gastrointestinal issues and then cancer surgeries and treatments, I haven't had much (any) time to really pursue this project.  Back in March, I purchased a 2010 Mercury Mariner console with the Ambient Lighting package.  I had just started doing some preliminary test fitting when everything in my life blew up.  This is where it's at right now:









It isn't hooked up and there is no wiring run for the O/D button, park interlock or lighting yet.  Not sure when I will get time for that, but I have a hunch it will be Spring of 2022.  But hey, I have nice cup holders now!  LOL

Thanks to Mike69's help, I was able to determine that it would fit between the seats and would require minimal trimming to make it work (he provided measurements from his wife's Escape).  I have everything I need to finish this project, except for the time.  We just had a bit of a cold snap here and when I turned on the heater, all I got was steam and antifreeze smell in the cab.  So it looks like I will have to replace the heater core first and that is quite a bit of work.
