It's roughly similar to this. That's the center seatbelt in the upper left.

Don't worry about the measurements if you do have it. I found another picture that tells me what I need to know.

My problem is that I put my laptop bag in the gap between the center console and the rear bulkhead. I can't have a speaker that takes up too much room. I have ideas though. :)

Put it under the seat then. That is where my Ram has it and it works out fine.

I was wondering if I could take out the rear vent ducting in my center console and use that space for a speaker. I may look at that again next time I have the console out.

Back in March I ordered the wiring harness to put the power folding tow mirrors on. The harness finally shipped yesterday. Now I need to spend the real money on the mirrors and switches.

Good luck. Those mirrors aren't cheap, even used. It's a shame your old ones won't fit my truck.

Yeah I'm probably just buying new since I need a very specific set. I need 360 cameras and BLIS in addition to the power folding and power extender. It's about $1600 all in :eh:

Unless you're going to completely rewire you're truck there's not much my mirrors do that yours don't. You'd have to get all the cameras and modules in addition to the BLIS pieces and all that assumes they bolt on

There's just so many different versions of these damn things. I wish they made them modular so you could have a basic housing for standard, and a basic housing for towing, and then add all the little bits on an as needed basis.

Yeah there's so many options for the mirrors. Fortunately for my body style there is only one option for the power folding tow mirrors.

First oil change today at 2000 miles ... probably should have done it before our trip to Pismo and Carmel/Monterey but oh well. I went with Penzoil Ultra Platinum based on this video... https://youtu.be/hqBJQ23NFYc?si=eFoESPX_8hoyUwxA

This is silly, but do the USB ports in your center console light up?

Yeah they do apparently. I could have sworn they didn't though.

That's so weird. Ford took the LEDs out of the sockets in 2018 or 2019. Then they put them back in.

Weird. I was actually surprised they were lit up because Ford deleted most of the ambient lights in 22 due to 'chip shortages'
