I'm sure I'll be in violation of some DOT standard, but is it possible to disable or simply disconnect the amber corner markers in the factory projector LED headlights? I'm not a huge fan of the combination of crisp white DRLs and low/high beams mixed with the amber color. I also kind of feel...
Truck has about 13.5k miles. I recently started hearing a loud rattle when shutting the rear driver's door. Opened the door and swung it back-and-forth quickly a few times to reproduce the noise... Was able to determine something metal was rolling around at the lowest portion of the sheet metal...
I know what you're all thinking, but no need to check your calendars...it's not April Fools...

Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) is encountering a production issue with its best selling...
Probably a long shot, but do any of you Ford electronics gurus think it might be possible to swap the USB port locations in the media bin with those inside the enclosed center console? I would prefer the two ports in the media bin be for charing only and those inside the center console be for...
Like the title says, my hybrid battery fell out on the highway while cruising at about 70mph. Somehow the truck kept going and was able to be stopped safely, but a few cars behind me veered off into the woods and ignited into one massive fireball. Instead of calling 911 while sitting stranded on...
So I have a 502A with the 8-speaker B&O system (not Unleashed). I disconnected my center dash speaker a few months after buying the truck, and while I generally feel the sound stage is improved, I am curious about reconnecting it on occasion. I would like to add a small SPST rocker switch...
Just noticed glancing through the media bin/glove box/cup holder light thread that the 2023 wireless charger seems to have small holes added, possibly for ventilation? The entire piece looks like a different insert. I'm wondering if they changed anything else about the charger (i.e. higher...
Anybody have one of these installed? I didn't know this was an option and normally wouldn't be a fan of these types of add-ons, but I like what GM does with this part of their cabs, and this looks similar...
I know this has been discussed to death on here, but with the new Mustang receiving a customizable gauge cluster, is there any hope of it coming to our trucks? As of 2023, GM and Ram trucks will both have digital gauge clusters, and both look a lot nicer than ours (to my eyes).
Car and Driver...
Just thought I'd share this for fun. I occasionally drive through my local dealers to check out new trucks on their lots, and one of the dealers around here recently got in a new Lariat Chrome Smoked Quartz truck. It's a beautiful truck, so I pulled in to check it out for Ss and Gs. I could not...
I'm not sure why Ford removes the small convex "spotter" mirrors on trucks with BLIS. BLIS is nice for most situations, but it doesn't help in merging situations where a car is either two lanes to your left or too far back in a merging lane for BLIS to read. I almost had a run-in with a dump...
While bending down to pick something up off my driveway last week, I noticed some questionable manufacturing on the front edge of my tail light. Same on both sides of the truck. I assume everybody's tails look the same, but I haven't seen it mentioned on the forum. I know this is nitpicking...
I just accidentally came across this listing on eBay and thought it looked pretty interesting. I have been 50/50 on the Lariat Sport grille for a while now, and I kinda think these inserts might help give it a more "finished" look without looking tacky. Any thoughts? (My silver truck is shown...
Anybody ever successfully swapped just the plastic trim on their steering wheel? I have a Lariat Sport, and I feel like the plastic on the wheel looks particularly chintzy. It doesn't seem to match any of the other myriad colored and textured plastics throughout the cabin. I know the higher trim...
I've had my truck for almost two weeks, and I feel like all I've done is complain about it. So let me preface this post by saying that there are lots of things I love about the truck; it looks good, it's fast, it's mostly smooth, it has good fuel economy, it's got lots of toys and gizmos, and...
I might be missing something, but is there a light or indicator anywhere on the dash/console showing when the alarm is armed? Every vehicle I've owned with a factory alarm has had a flashing red light somewhere to reassure me that the alarm is set. I did RTFM, and it basically says that the...
Picked up my new truck on Friday and didn't really have time for a thorough inspection until Saturday afternoon. I'm pretty happy with the overall fit and finish so far; doors are aligned, panels seem straight and tight. I'll post a separate thread with my initial impressions of the truck...
