This has been my argument for years! Items that are safety related should be maintained as tactile manual controls. I know where those controls are and I do not have to take my eyes off the road to use them.
Lots of discussion on these issues lately and I have recently seen articles suggesting...

Might be able to find locally under the brand name but this unit has TONS of lockable storage and opens from either side. I am using Amazon cross bars as well although the hardware needs replacing after 3...
Some great additions and discussion to the thread including the very professional work that Quashish shows however, unless the installation is done by an approved Ford Upfitter with an approved method, any "splicing" into the factory wiring harness with non-approved methods that cause damage to...
Hi Jack,
I personally would not use the pod as you found out, it senses a "trailer" connection and therefore disables certain diving assist features you may want.
Additionally, "tapping" into wiring is always risky and not recommended unless there are "plug & Play" connectors. Some companies...
On windshield number 5 now, all done through SpeedyGlass, all OEM spec'd glass and re-calibrations done at the time of install without any issues. Fortunately, all covered under enhanced glass coverage, just paid token deductible.
Check the grommets under air cleaner box, there are 3 of them, b if one is removed you develop a rattle like that, just had mine fixed after an oil change which accidentally dropped one off when changing the filter.
I have to tip my hat, this confirms everything I have been following for years! Nokian Outpost ATs for spring, summer and fall, then Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 studded for winter in my area.... you can climb wall with those!! LOL
Not a Bass boat, but I regularly tow a small camper trailer around 500kg (1100lbs) and have not seen or experienced any issue so far other than a slight decrease in fuel economy, which I expected.
Doesn't sound like an honest dealer or service rep.
They should be able to detail all work and areas that accessed for service. Not only that, they should be checking; as a quality control process, all work and that all vehicle systems are working properly prior to releasing the vehicle back...
Well that was mighty nice of them! How much mileage did they put on?
I note mileage in and out for service (the dealer should also do this and note it on the work order - Ford's policy) and I have never had them put on more than 10-15km (6-10m)in testing.
They have never filled my tank....LOL :)
Should a little on the low ball side to me. With the way the market is currently, dealers are hot for quality used vehicles and you seeing resale value go up significantly. with the mileage on your vehicle, I would expect mid 20's or higher.
Nice install! I did something similar with my Icom ID-880H for head location. My xcvr is in under the rear deck by the spare tire.
Good choice on running the power direct to the battery. I have done the same and used a 50amp disconnect breaker in the engine compartment to run heavier cables to...
Hmmmm, I'm torn on this....Good info Steve, and appreciate the topic. As you may have seen previously, I am dead against anything that distracts a driver's attention from actually driving and the deletion of tactile controls for vehicle operation, which in my opinion is a huge safety issue. As...
Got me there, I do like my tunes while I drive.
We're lucky up here to see a basic EV for anything under $40k these days, and yes the range is definately a draw back. Nothing in the truck market for near that cheap here right now.
