Have you ever seen

Have you ever seen "covered" buttons on any given interior panel (usually around the driver) where active button would have been on a higher trim? ... very common practice ... same principle - save money on the panels, just put a cover on places not being actively used or connected. In fact people complaint that such buttons/ places constantly reminds them that they are missing something that's availble on a higher trim. Also, not uncommon to find under those covered, not active controls, a wire harness/ bundle termination that would allow for activation (provided one checks for proper Fuse) of whatever function was supposed to be there (provided it doesn't require additional hardware such as active sensors). I have added non-native to a given trim OEM capabilities to many vehicles just by tapping on what buttons or inactive connectons are available but not actively connected. My latest example is adding OEM Fog Lights to a Nissan Frontier by using nothing but existing (but hidden) wired connections. It did require me to change the Steering Wheel mounted Stem that controlled the turning signals so that it would also have the fog lights controls. Also on the same vehicle, I added a 12v OEM output in back oif the center console by tapping on what was available from the manufacturer without any electrical ore mechanical modifications. And also on the samer vehicle, I added boith, front and rear cameras tapping on existing but inactive connections. All of these capabilities were available on higher trims but not on my trim.
You are correct, and I stand corrected. There are blanks on my Lexus next to the odometer switches and others and I have had them on other vehicles. But there isn't anything behind them.

But that wasn't what I believe you asked. I think your question was there unused, unconnected, not active steering wheel mounted controls ON THE STEERING WHEEL. And my response was "I've never seen a manufacturer do that. They are active or not there." Meaning NOT on the Steering Wheel. Your question wasn't about panel switch BLANKS for fog lights. That was why I provided the response I did.

I guess I'm not understanding. A tonneau cover lays on top regardless if it is a try-fold, hard rollup or soft rollup. It rides on top of the side panels. I believe the photo shows the extender is below the top of the side panels. If it will work UNDER a try-fold, why wouldn't it work under a soft fold?
I had thought it work no matter what tonneau you ordered but aparently Ford had other ideas, they (my dealer) said it could not be ordered with the roll up for some reason. Will have to send him an email to clarify, really wanted the extender AND a roll up tonneau.

CoryDallas8123 - Can you ask if they have any more sessions in DFW soon? I am in Wylie and just saw this message, so I missed out...
I don’t know what other dealers have paid for the trainings. I’ve emailed/texted most of the dealers around DFW and this was the first I heard a confirmation from. Still radio silent from the others.

Slight correction ... I only provided clarification to a question someone else asked. I did not ask the original question myself.

As for the steering wheel controls ... you have never seen one with inactive controls ... I have - different experiences, that's all. Time will tell with the Maverick ...

You can't order (option) it this way from the factory, but you can buy one or both of these items from your dealer and have them installed/install yourself and they'll work together just fine.

Order the roll up from the factory and have the dealer order you the extender, or vice-versa, and you'll be good.

OK, what are you going to build? I hear the wheels turning.
I'm trying to figure out how far my tent might stick out. Though I may have to use rack instead of crossbars if I want to open the window flap.

Sun visor can be extended back to B pillar. The medal rod is what it rides on.

Hi,

Rear window is very small but it is tinted too(there was a question about that). Slides to the passenger side. I could not reach it to open when I was in the front seat.
So when you say the rear window is tinted, does that mean colored glass or a real tint that reflects light and heat? Do the rest of the windows come tinted or colored glass from the factory? I hope it is a real tint, in AZ we need real tinting, and those dark-colored windows can't be legally tinted any further. I can understand if the tiny rear window is colored since a tint may not stick well to it since it slides. But hopefully not the rest of the vehicle.

To have a single item in inventory ... lower cost of part manufacturing, reduced storage needs, reduced complexity in manufacturing ... many other reasons, all driven by cost cutting measures and assenbly efficiencies.
This doesn’t fit with what the manufacturers have always done. If a feature isn’t in a vehicle there are not controls for that feature, going all the way back to radio block off plates.
