There is a recovery point. A tow point (they're not the same, btw) would be rather redundant. And silly. And yes, one can get a shackle for no additional cost from your friendly dealer.... *sigh*

Well, it's Curt, and has a Ford part number, so... *shrugs* As to tow/recovery point, it's clear there's an industry standard.

Dave's not here, man...

Huh. This is strange...

No, mine doesn't flash unless it's all the way down... sorry if unclear

Shackle is in the accessories guide... "Part No: VLL3Z19A282A CURT HITCH SHACKLE KIT" FWIW, shopped several smaller unibody AWD last fall/winter. VW, Porsche (a bit redundant, I know), Subaru, Jeep, LR, and Ford. All "delete" (or cover) rear point w/factory tow. Based on how factory tows mount...

Ford Accessories can be purchased w/FordPass points. Not a new thing. Many here have used that to purchase floor mats, hood deflectors, and more. You get roughly $200 USD credit towards "ford" purchases (services, accessories, etc). FWIW, Subaru also deletes the rear hook point w/factory tow...

You do know you can use your ford points for a "free" shackle... And adding the factory tow deletes the hook - on the Jeep Trailhawk. :)

Mine is on when a vehicle is in the blind spot, and flashes when turn signal is fully on (holding the stalk down just enough to activate the signal won't do it...)

And a few other "updates" as well... Yep - USB "ambient" lighting - the other one is in the rear seat USB port... FWIW, McD's napkins fit perfectly... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09B9R295K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&th=1 and a 1' USB C cable w/lightning adapter

Got one... :)

Just a rod holder...

So after many requests (Ok, 1) for pics n' such, here's the "build" (otherwise known as "The Raid on The Credit Card") Hitch shackle: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XNV5L5Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s01?ie=UTF8&th=1... Bumper guard...

In my experience w/OEMs, it's a bit of salesmanship along with some real engineering. The name brand company will usually work w/the suppliers and manuf in the development of component placement and selection to best fit the attributes of said brand at the given price point. I did note a fair...

Claude Rains? And yes, the system is pretty sensitive. I've had fairly minor debris kicked up and trigger an alert. Ah well...

Probably not much help, but I've had good results with the OEM setup on the BL. Bounced around San Luis Pass, and from High Island north...

So true. S/XM compression is so bad... FWIW, tuning any automotive sound system that can make that sound decent requires a great deal of effort ($$$) , especially if one wishes to have good results from better quality sources. I note that auto sound designed away from S/XM tend to be a bit more...

Salt belongs on glass rims, not roads! ;)

Well, mine are under a wheelbarrow, so probably not as clean... :)

"what triggers this message" Weak coffee. Or worse, decaf. Brown sadness water...
