[quote=""ChargerX3""]Yea, the 6 speed is solid in the newer fords. No hunting for gears. Yea, you will grow to love the camera. Is it in your rear view, or on the dash?[/quote]

Dash. I have the big sync screen.

[quote=""aaronatstate""]What Jeff said. Won’t work. You have Sync2. You have to upgrade the full module to get to Sync3. I was researching it for the ST, but decided to get the RS instead of upgrading Sync :lol: [/quote]

You can get everything for way cheaper than that...

$300 cheaper

But you can also just buy the used screen/brain from a junkyard/pick and pull/eBay, and get the other stuff from Amazon/Ford, and be even cheaper.

Haha. Le me know when you do, or if you give up. It’s a bit of a process the first time around. Better that you figure it out now before you get in a pinch.

This. I did it in my avalanche because it didn’t have a spare. Wow, glad I did before I had to do it on the side of the road. What a pain.

What's so special about it? It looks like it's just a standard screw type scissor jack :d ontknow:

It is a standard screw jack but getting all the parts together and removing the spare can be a pain.

Drove it up one of the back roads I use frequently for the first time and it feels much more stable and tossible which is funny because it's a longer and wider lol.

Great to hear. Sounds like it’s fitting pretty well.

I took the 2013 from ODFW on a bunch of old forest service roads up and down steep terrain in the mountains. Handled it like a champ.

One of the downsides of this particular truck was it didn't have the factory mats. Ford wanted basically $100 for theirs, so I said screw it and ordered some Weather Techs. As per usual they are worth it!

Only one kid for now. Weather Techs are amazing had a set for my Explorer, was getting ready to buy a set for the Outback when we got a set of Husky Liners for free, and never liked the Sequoia enough to buy them lol.

I am actually not happy at all with the Weather Techs for the CTS. The fit is not great.. I have always used them but these I am definitely not happy with.

I was going to get weathertech for the jeep, but went with rugged ridge instead. So far I'm happy with them.
