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...

Thanks for using your time and equipment on this Andy. I'm reading this as your tests confirm the 12v flex bed leads continue to supply power for 90 minutes after powering the vehicle down, even if there is no electrical load present?

Usually reads 14+ on the USB outlet I isntalled. I can't imagine the 12v battery would be low coming off a lengthy drive. It also happens consistently every time so I figured it's a feature and not a bug. I suppose the 12v battery could be on its last legs?

My 24 Lariat does not remain on, even with a load. My 24 Lariat shuts down all 12v accessories with or without an electrical load. 24 Lariat, I experience the same. Interior USB charging, interior 12v outlet, and 12v rear Flexbed all power down within seconds after turning off the ignition...

Yup, sure do. This is the LEER factory topper. Looks like the logic box also taps into the driver side taillight, but I didn't get too deep into that explanation. Thanks for checking. On the other hand, you have now successfully derailed the original topic of the thread...

Been working on this since posting, it would be easy enough to make a splitter myself, however, I can't find male connectors like the one hard wired into the truck. The female adapters are easy to find. The truck comes with two female connectors from the factory and they are widely available...

Well, as it turns out, my 12v flexbed connector on the drivers side is already used. As far as I can tell, the Leer topper is plugged in to provide power to the interior topper light and possibly the topper brake light. The 12v connection leads to a mess of wires tucked in along the the back of...

I'm three months in on my 2024. Biggest quibbles so far: -Lack of radio presets. 12 total for AM, FM and Sirius is not enough. -The radio has a mind of its own selecting an audio source upon vehicle start. It randomly selects AM, FM, Sirius, USB drive or Bluetooth. I can't figure it out. -No...

Good idea, I didn't think of that. Paging @Maverick_Innovation_Designs

I already used both of my Flexbed connectors with Maverick Innovations products but would like to install bed lighting or another set of USB outlets. I started searching for a splitter for the factory connector since included plugs are easy to come by. Unfortunately, not anything our there...

Joined the 600 mile club today. Running E15, too! Added 14.2 more gallons of E15, since it sells at a substantial discount vs E10. Hand calculation says 42.3mpg. Did about 100 miles of 75mph interstate on this tank, rest was city and urban/rural highway.
