You know, I was going to like your post, but then you related it to your concern about other peoples genitals and how it relates to bathroom choices. And being direct and concise and bathroom choices makes you a real man? A real man pulls others up and NEVER punches down or takes cheap shots...

Impressive mpg. Towing a 17' Lund @68-70mph with our FWD hybrid on several trips over several hundred miles gave results from 22-25mpg. I believe variation was largely due to wind direction and drafting. Urban driving trender a little lower, with trips more around 35-45mpg instead of the...

Not exactly. The manual states 87 octane requirements inclusive of both engines, except under certain conditions like towing or extreme heat: Honestly I'd be interested in seeing an Ecoboost dyno with 87 vs 91 to see how much timing latitude the programming actually has to take advantage of...

Great write up, thanks for taking the time to do this. I am also curious on the start to finish install time.

I don't see how this could possibly be an issue. 1. Manufactures have been using these for decades. 2. Basically all of the cooling is done via the radiator. 3. The hybrid engine is very efficient and reaching and maintaining operating temperature is impactful for gas mileage in this system...

Great post and thanks for sharing your findings. I tow and haul quite a bit but 20k less miles on my 2024, this gives me confidence in the durability of the transmission.

You're right on the money. The topper third brake light clips into the driver's side brake light line (since it's right there by the wiring) and draws from that signal. It's looks like a really clean install, no cutting of wires at all. Makes sense since it's a $4500 factory accessory. EDIT...

Yes. The topper has a 3rd brake light and an interior LED light.

A little backstory first. I ordered a @Maverick_Innovation_Designs Flexbed USB adapter with 12V display and a Flexbed 12V Cigarette outlet. Great products in terms of fitment and quality along with great packaging and fast shipping. Unbeknownst to me, the Leer factory topper already used the...

Quite the adventure and great write-up. Thanks for sharing!

100% I'd give one a try! Send me a PM or let me know when you have it listed on Etsy. Thank you!

Thanks Andy again for the explanation. I do not have a multimeter, I was using the built in voltage meter on Maverick Innovations USB outlet. Your explanation makes sense, and I believe this may be the original factory battery. The truck was built Jan 2024, with that in mind the battery could be...

After all this discussion, I checked again today. 2024 Lariat Hybrid. After turning off the vehicle, immediate loss of power to interior sources and Flexbed power outlets, regardless of whether there was a load present at shutoff or not. Voltage was reading 14.0-14.3v whether in accessory or start.

Sorry, I do not. As I mentioned in the post, I believe 2020-2022 model years. You could scour some Autorader listings for confirmation of years. There were mentions on here or on other sites which indicated Lincoln model(s) using the same 2.5L hybrid power train had a Lincoln branded engine...
