Hey all,

I have a '23 Lariat SR and I am curious if there is a possibility of adding an acceleration sound of my choice for the F150s, since there is none native to it. Don't get me wrong, I love the quiet, but if, for example, if you have memories of an old Bronco, and how it sounded, and would like to hear that on start up or acceleration, (or me, nerd that I am, want Star Wars vehicle sounds when you speed up), it would be cool to be able to do this. Especially if you can turn it off when you don't want to hear it. Does anyone know if Ford or a third party has any software add-on for this?

No.

Borla was going to sell a kit for this and the Mach-E, but the kit came years late, and way underpromised capability, and only for the Mach-E. The revised kit is years late also.

Just like some people don't like the front lightbar, I love that lightbar... I would never cover it up.

The same goes for the lack of sound... I love how quiet my truck sounds. I wouldn't change it for the world.

I guess it's different strokes, for different folks. :sunglasses:

I wish the outside sound when driving at low speeds could be changed to a diesel idling sound.

following, I'd Love to be able to change the Low Speed sound to something else, say the Jetson car motor sound, or a 'startup' sound track from Transformers 'Autobots Roll out'... might be a generational thing.
