So you get a battery version and one day you lock your keys and phone in the truck somewhere out in the wilderness on a hunting trip. The battery on the keypad dies and you cant use it. You are fucke%^ ?
Or is there a low battery light or chime?
Tacomas have a COMFORT+ Complete option which includes block heater and Programmable Cabin Warmer/windshield de-icer thst works without turning on engine
basically it’s a space heater that they install in the cabin and you can control with an app.
must plug in though
I agree but even if Ford anticipated most would opt for the factory unit, they must have realized that in a few years many of those no hitch trucks are going to be selling as used vehicles, likely primarily to people who want a hitch.
I haven't seen the wiring but doesn't it appear that there...
Lol. People on the forum also have a habit of not reading the thread before inserting foot in mouth.
“you’re correct, it’s not gouging it’s a Ford part and priced accordingly.”
you’re correct, it’s not gouging it’s a Ford part and priced accordingly. But aftermarket’s will be less. It’s more the wiring that is worrying. . They sell the hitch so they must know some will want a harness.
I got the 4K but if I was in this situation and didn't want to hotwire, I'd use a wireless solution temporarily until aftermarket figures it out. I haven't seen the wiring but I'll bet Ford will eventually correct this on newer models so you can plug and play. Stupid on a truck that its this...
When I call Ford I get a scheduled date of April 11. But what's the white circle inside the circle. I've seen some with checkmarks and some with white circles inside the circle.
Hitch could be welded to crash bar possibly and hotwire the harness but I’d take it to a good hitch place if you want to go that route. Much cheaper than $800
