I was surprised to learn that besides the USB-A and USB-C port in the media bin, I have a dual USB-C port in both the center console and the rear seat console. I ordered some USB lights that I wanted to fit in the center console but they were for the standard USB so they didn't fit. I tried this at night with little light. :blush: No big deal, as I ordered ones for a USB-C port. But I was assuming the USB-A and USB-C port was standard in all three locations. I have a 2023 Big Bend.

I have a 22 Badlands non premium. USB-A and USB-C in all three places plus 110v in the rear of the console and in the cargo area.

Wait. So you have two USB-C in the center console and for the rear passengers??? That may be an unaccounted for change between 21/22 and 23s.

That's new. Most of us have one USB-A and one USB-C in a three locations. Can you post a picture?

Better release the kraken! How dare Ford make a change between model years and not describe it in detail! Even if it’s better! 😎

I wouldn't call it better. Many devices still use Type A for their power connection.

Yea its kinda twofold. Right now it's nice having the USB-A, however in a couple years everything will have changed over to USB-C.

Used to be A to A, A to mini, A to micro. Everything is heading to C. I only use the media A for my Carlinkit so I’m fine with how it is. I just know how everyone seems to freak out when Ford removes something that seemed to be a god given right to have.

My 2023 Badlands with the premium package is the same, A and C under the dash, and dual USB-C inside the center console and in the back seat.

Quick question ...... if I get a wireless dongle for my phone does it plug into the USB-A port (bottom one) to work or will it work if I plug it into the USB-C (top) ?
