2024 STX build + trim level upgrades

[KartRacer25]

Thank you appreciate it very much I’ve been trying to find info on this offset since icon has a sale on there wheels right now I’m definitely going with it

Yeah FYI, I just ordered Icon Alphas from my local Discount tire, they matched the Icon website sale price. $195 each 17x8.5, 87.1mm center bore, +6mm offset, 6x135 bolt. Titanium but part number implies they're gunmetal, we shall see. Thanks REDRAGON for poke pics. I'm stoked, cant wait.

Curious because I’m interested in the leather seat covers, leather XLT steering wheel, and heated seats for my XL but what did you do for the heated seat switches/controls. I only have the single zone HVAC controls so I’m guessing this may not be a plug and play option for me. I’m assuming you need the dual zone controls with the heated seat buttons to make that work.

Not quite that good but very happy with the deal. I was really sold when Ford decided to outfit all models of the F150 with the good center and drivers displays for 24. Now you can upgrade other interior features and not have the "cheap" looking smaller displays of old.

That's the very reason I ordered an XLT High when I was ordering my '23 157". Did NOT want the small display. Otherwise, I would have bought an STX.

Got a few more things installed.

BuiltRight bedside MOLLE panel with a Rotopax 3 gal fuel jug. These parts were something I had removed from my Raptor.

You can also see the @TripleAliners bed mat here as well. Its a great choice if you dont want to pull the trigger on the full spray in liner.

Additionally, I added the Boxlink anchors and cleats in the bed as well. You can buy this whole kit off Amazon for less than $35!

And added a cheap Amazon seatback MOLLE panel. Not a bad piece for less than $80

also intrested in your wheel project I have a 23 guess I’m behind the times I can’t find any of the info or guess I don’t know what I’m looking. For I bought the new ac control with heated wheel button the raptor steering wheel with heat clock spring wire harness etc but can’t find the proper forscan changes to make my ac compressor ingage all other functions work

I rolled the dice on the tires...but lots of good info on here really helped picking the size. You can actually run this combo on this truck with no lift and it does not rub the crashbars!

They are heavy tires, I couldn't really find a tire I like that was not an E load range for the 20" wheels.

OE wheel and tire was 83 lbs and the Maxxis is 103 lbs. You can tell the OE suspension is working harder on bumps with the extra weight...

I definitely lost some MPG and have averaged 17.2 over the last 5k miles with them installed. I drive a 50/50 mix of highway and city in a very conservative fashion.

As far as power, no real noticeable loss...the 10 speed does a great job of keeping these engines in the powerband. It does downshift more frequently now to compensate.

I was very impressed with ride, handling and noise...they are not much louder than a BFG KO Allterrain and were a great deal on Simpletire.com.

This is why I went with Toyos. The SL was 17lbs lighter in a 285/60/20 and the LT size was 11lbs lighter in a 285/65/20 LT tire than K02s.

2 of these showed up at work...Police Responders. XL models with stripped down vinyl interior with no center console or seat, 4x4, and 3.5EB. Just something cool you don't see everyday.

Finally got my auto climate installed and I also have the same issue. The unit will not trigger the AC compressor. I added the climate functions to the center display and still no luck. All other functions (except passenger dual zone obviously) work but it wont trigger the AC....I really think this is a simple line of code in FORSCAN if we could only find it!!!

Got the new style Ronin Factory oil drain installed. The 2024 2.7 has a different style locking detent on the oil pan and needed a different drain plug design...Ronin has updated.

I had to purchase the model for the Bronco Sport 1.5

So glad to finally get this installed!

The packaging says Raptor and F150 but it is indeed the correct one...

And huge thanks to @Livnitup for the Hill Descent Control & Rock Crawl mode info!

For a few FORSCAN changes and a $50 switch I got both activated.

Switch info:

My 24 STX actually already had the correct wiring for the switch installed from factory so I get lucky there.

So basically I got the FX4 features I wanted for $50 and some time. Since I already replaced the shocks and will add my own skidplates a factory FX4 option was not really worth checking the box in my case.

I got a line of code I’ll try them today if they work I’ll send them to you

Entire dash apart was fun but lots of resources on here to help...

I got my switches installed and wired for the drivers Heated/Cooled seat and passenger heated seat.

I settled with mounting them on the main bezel as the spots I chose are actually snap out panels that can be replaced in the event its necessary in the future. Plus I don't think it looks terrible?

I also added the OCD Plug screen protector while I was at it.

I tapped into the passenger side footwell fuse box for power.

Oh-I like your heated switch location idea. Where did you get those switches and how do they interface with the factory heating elements?

Thanks...they are not OE elements. They are leatherseats.com kits.

Thank you for the link. I ordered some samples to see how their leather looks and feels. I’d like to upgrade my cloth seats to leather. The gel packs also look interesting. Im not crazy about the bottom side bolsters on my seats and these gel packs might be what is needed to fix this.
