'24 Lariat EB AWD, found myself on a winding downhill stretch of road in PA this week, signed at 9% grade. Figured this was as good a time as any to try the L-button and see if there was any compression braking available, damn did the rpm's shoot up to 5k+! It certainly doesn't drop just 1 or 2...
Thinking about adding a back window dashcam, if there's a switched 12V source that someone has identified, it would be easier than running a cord up to the under-dash fuse panel. Trying to avoid poking a bunch of wires if one has already been found.
Thanks, HRG
Can I ask you guys to post some pics of how you have your dashcams mounted? I've got a Garmin 67W, and with the 180-degree lens, something is always in the way. I'd like to avoid mounting it too low, and try to keep it in a non-obtrusive spot to avoid broadcasting that it's even there.
Thanks, HRG
Looking to purchase a Micro3 fuse tap for position 1/2 (switched power), lots of reviews on Amazon indicate having to trim the base to fit. Anyone find one that fit well, or all they all the same?
Thanks, HRG

Tried turning the ambient lighting back on, and only the drivers-side footwell illuminated. Was there de-contenting, or am I headed to the dealer? I thought both footwells had the feature, but I'm not sure.

Went to an event in the north side of Chiberia tonight, had to laugh when a Cyber Orange Maverick, with IL plates, sporting a Long-McArthur sticker on the tailgate, drove past me. You on here?

I'm having a hard time warming-up to the matt black finish, they always seem to look dirty. Had a local wheel shop quote $500 to re-powder coat the set with a gloss finish, any thoughts?

Anyone else having problems with the site working using Firefox? Once I add the order & VIN#, and get past the captcha, it just sits there. Switching to MS Edge, it works like it should.

Anyone know if the temp setting that activates the heated mirrors is adjustable via Forscan? Seems silly to have that feature come on when the outside temp is nearly 50F.

OK, so I'm a COF (Cheap Old Fart), but having taken delivery of my '24 Lariat yesterday, I have to ask; is my cell phone providing the data link for the navigation system, or are map updates uploaded when a WiFi signal is available? I currently only have a 1gb/month usage plan, does Ford assume...
Has anyone tried to see if the BS mats for the rear floor will fit? I have their front mats, but they don't list a set of rears for the Mav. Not interested in liners or trays w/high sides.
Thanks, HRG
A local Auto Zone had 14 x 1.5 open-end lug nuts in stock, so to satisfy my curiosity of how tall of a lug nut is required, I bough a set, Dorman # 711-606. These have a 3/4" hex size, same as my boat trailer lug nus.
My rig is a '23 w/ FX4 wheels, as you can see, the end of the stud is pretty...
They talked me off the edge this morning. I placed a '24 order 4pm Monday afternoon, and never received the order confirmation email from Ford. My dealer has not been responding to my requests for order confirmation, but my Sales Rep was able to scan and send me the Preview sheet time stamped...
