What is a real ripoff are all the add-on trim stuff.
As I said, my truck is a 2010 F150 STX. I didn’t realize until when I broke my outside driver’s mirror that the truck was wired for addition of the full up trim options. IOW, the wiring for the mirror(s) was for full options (heated, puddle lamps, LED turn signal direction strips, power folding, etc.). It cost me $125 off Amazon to get two mirrors....they work great. It would have been much more if I’d actually ordered them.
Also, I noticed by radio had an external temperature set of white LEDS in the corner of the radio display. Did some investigating and it’s wired for that option, too. I just needed to replace the temperature control panel (which also had the “heated mirror button”). I bought that off Ebay for $59.
Yeah, they put all that in there, and then if you want that option they just turn it on in the software, and/or install the button to turn it on.
