For those who own a 2025 model and might have owned prior years before, anyone know if the wiring and fuse box changed?

Car manufactures should really start putting usb ports up by the mirror. There is always power going up there for lights so it wouldn't take much to add them. I was debating on adding one myself for my dash cam.
Fuses seem to be the same besides some being spare on the 25 vs 24 aka not used anymore.

On a side note I noticed the 2024 had a fuse for auto dimming mirror??? The mavericks didn't have auto dimming mirrors so I'm super confused.

Ford uses the same components across various vehicles. I believe the Fuse Box is shared with either the Bronco or Escape Platforms. So if one of those has auto Dimming the the Fuse panel will be marked as such.
I hope nothing has changed as I already have a Dimming Mirror (Gentex - Kia) with HomeLink plus all the Molex parts etc. to build my wiring harness to plug into overhead power source.

Most vehicle manufacturers have started including power ports for dash cams near the rearview mirror, but here in America with all the BS regulations and such they don't.

AFAIK anything marked as not used or spare has no power going to it. I really wish that wasn't the case though since those would be perfect slots for dash cam wiring.
I have a 2025 and the slots labeled "Not used (spare)" in the manual actually have power. Some are on battery while others are on accessory power. I just hardwired a dash cam using slots 3 and 20.
Why would you need to use two fuse box slots (3 and 20) for a simple two wires for a dash cam or auto dimming mirror? And how do you get the power from the fuse box to the roof consol? What am I missing?

Because the particular hardwire kit has 3 wires: ground, battery, and accessory. That is common.
As for the roof console, I am not sure what you are talking about or if your question was directed at me.
OK, now I understand there are the three wires and the two fuse slots have differing functions. Also, I was asking about the wire routing from the fuse box to the camera (and/or mirror). But I'm guessing it's just tucked under the roof liner, "A" puller, and into the dash. Thank you for your quick response!
It was quite easy to route the wire. The only panel that needed to be removed was the one to the right of the windshield; it easily popped out and snapped back into place. The run along the top of the windshield was tucked easily with the panel pry tool. The wire does not show until just above the rearview mirror mount, where I have it coming out of that console.
It is

3 is ACC (yellow), 24 is BATTERY (red).
