Hey everyone,
I'm planning to replace my Maverick with a RCSB F-150. I had ordered with my local dealer last year, but they never processed the order (even after requiring a $1k deposit).
Anyhow, I got a great quote from Granger, but they can't add the trailer brake controller option.
I have...
I've purchased these from Digi-Key. Molex MX150 connectors. They also have the correct keyed bodies.

I've driven a Ford car or truck for over 25 years, and have owned a hand full of F-100/150s (F-150 based Bronco too). I remember how almost all cars before the 90's had the wiper and headlights in the same spot. Now, I'm used to almost every modern Ford (except F-Series) that has a blinker...

This is kinda neat. I hope that means Ford is recognizing the RCSBs are worth continuing to offer.
Lowered is cool, but I'd rather see a 70/30 offroad option too.
I'd like to see it in person.
My Maverick is Atlas Blue, even thought when I ordered it the color selection was Velocity Blue. The 25 that I ordered (that doesn't seem to have been ordered by the dealer) was Atlas Blue too. I hope it's a good looking color and not too dark.
I'm curious about the rear shocks myself.
It would seem those would need to be swapped to the 2WD equivalent, as they would bottom out before anything else now. There may be some wiggle room and it's a non-issue, but seems like they ought to be changed too.
I'm curious too.
Since it's kind of hard to test for every possibility, @JumboJVT do you have some suggestions, e.g. Full lock with a jack under one side, etc.?
I'm not sure if @NH-RCSB intends to do a lot of rock-climbing, but according to this vid it looks like it should be fine.
I cancelled the 2025 order I made June at the local dealer because I never got a confirmation email from Ford. I'm not even sure they ordered it, but they sure were hanging on to my $1,000.
They also low balled me on my Maverick trade.
A flight to Des Moines is cheap enough...
I ended up with a '25 Expedition Platinum. I'm not sure why, but the rotary shifter in my Maverick doesn't bother me, but in the Expedition it just seems wrong. It would be perfect with a column shifter.
