Lucky you! No such thing on mine. Seems like the 24 STXs were particularly neutered. I am currently designing a custom circuit from the accessory terminals on the battery block and marine grade stuff like Blue Sea switch panel, Scanstrut 12v, and some custom lighting. Jealous of you folks...

Did your STX come with a blank panel to start? Did you have pre wiring behind it you could tap into?

This may ultimately be about cost control. From what I understand, Ford is making moves to unify engine production. Isn’t the concept behind the MPC that all future engines share internal components - hence the term modular? The 2.7 has different cylinder dimensions from the 3.0 according to a...

What module controls this in Forscan?

Was it delivered with that function turned on, or is this a FORScan thing? I tried doing button things with my Fob on my 24 STX and no windows

Did you end up getting this done? Would love to see how your solution worked, especially on rear connections. Tapped the tow wire, or ran 12v to the battery?

Wowow Ford! Official documentation with longstanding typos not very cool. I bought a 2019 Transit Connect Wagon when new after seeing the same style bulletin from Ford stating it would get the 2.0ecoboost. Come to find out, mine (and all of them) had the 2.0 ti vct. Fine engine and all but...

Variable pressure oil pump. One more modern complexification to think about. Maybe helps something somewhere sometimes somehow? If you aren’t throwing codes I can’t imagine it’s anything to worry about.

So the trailer (2783lbs) plus 2017 Escape awd (3868lbs) is a total loaded weight of 6651lbs. That's well within the 7500 max but it's not nothing. Very similar setup to the tests that TFL Truck did with the Ranger in their tow testing. No wind frontage either, which explains the decent mpg.

Standing by if the first person backs out.

I really do appreciate this testing and believe it provides significant value. There is one variable missing for me in these kinds of tests - thermal cycles. When you compress wear and tear into a short time frame, these vehicles never really go through anything close to the typical number of...

I've had a '99 Tacoma and '06 XTerra both with standards. I bet the Ford 7-speed would feel like luxury compared to those old sods, and I loved both of them.

I know it's a niche interest point, but given these rigs are built on the same assembly line as the Bronco, how about optioning that 7-speed? Couldn't be too hard to consider. Between that and an N/A cyclone engine, I'd be a happy boy.

Option for the pfdi 3.3 cyclone engine 6’ bed with supercrew ability to change default drive mode, or just let it retain your lasting setting flat floor under rear seats for more storage no more seat belt notifications

If it makes you feel any better, I regularly worry about my open deck 2.3 in my 24 stx and yearn for a more robustly engineered 2.7, and yet anyone on here would tell me the same.

Did you end up doing this @superj? I know we have the same 24 STX. I didn't see any harness blanks anywhere either. My plan, at the moment at least, is to use a method from another guy on here to put in a Curt tow harness to give myself 7pin tow (which I don't have yet) and some repinning from...

Thanks Bill W. It is unavoidable in my world to have mostly short trips, so I have always gone with 3k changes, which is actually about 6 months for me anyway. I've had comments saying I am too OCD but figured it's easy insurance. Plus I am lucky my dealer gives free oil changes for life...

Since you seem to know what you are talking about.. given that it's good old knowledge that short trips are harder on engines, is there any amount of increased oil change service that can offset damages from city life, or is it simply a fact that frequent short trips will shorten an engines life?

Excellent! Glad to hear it worked out. Thanks for sharing

Your setup is identical to mine. I had to do a double take. White 24 stx with the WIldtop. Nice!
