This is probably common knowledge but i just learned there is actually a button for the bed lights near the outlets in the bed, i had been running back and forth to the cab everytime till I saw it somewhere recently. Anyway I would check the switch for wiring, if not the existing lights to tie...
Thanks Rick, these are good points i hadn't considered. Curious how this compares to ICE f150s and F250/350s? Im not familiar with the 400lb rating, do you have more info on what the actual measurement is called?
True, but my fixation is currently on the lighting, unfortunately for better or worse. Then again I've got an 85 350 diesel crew cab with a flatbed in my backyard (and a plow! And another engine for rebuild) that hasn't gotten any love in almost 10 years, and i have a feeling that project isn't...
Get a set of airbags like these guys? Maybe the route i go, i wanted airbags anyway, but now if they also make sense for plowing that's icing on the cake...
I didn't end up getting great before pics cause i didn't really know what i was looking for before hand, i could probably do better if i tried it again, but here they are, you can definitely see the batteries are being warmed for planned departures.

I was considering something similar the other day, except if like to wire mine into the door opening light circuit to get better visibility when getting in and out at night. The dog needs to use one of those portable steps to get in and out so the extra lighting may help
Hmm interesting, this has me thinking. I have a thermal camera, I'd like to test the batteries during the preconditioning. I know if you set your departure times then you can precondition the cabin climate, but people also say that it warms (or cools?) the batteries to the idea temp, however I...
Oh sorry to hear that. Thanks for getting back to me though. Bummer that it didn't improve the mileage, I know more than a few of us were interested in it for that. Thanks again
