Yeah, this happened on the Lightning for 25 and people have just been swapping 24 visors as it uses the same connection as the vanity mirror. It’s the kind of little thing that ticks people off though as some do not notice until after purchase.
Surely they’ll make it a dealer installable option. Most buyers have a garage door and it’s a simple visor swap if the visor has power.
It was bad enough they only offered it on some trims. My 2018 F150 XLT didn’t have it so I had to buy and swap out a Lariat visor which was a PITA because it had no power (no lighted vanity mirror). Had to run wire over to the overhead console.
I agree....unless you are talking about the Ford Supervan 4.2....

What is needed is to figure out if Ford is making a profit higher than 4-5% on Mediums...if not, the axe will swing and Avon Lake produced Mediums will drive into the history books get parked next to Class 8 tractors...I believe that they do generate more profit even at lower sales due to all the use of existing hardware....but could a refresh to a "new style" aluminum cab be in the offing to increase the profit on a relatively small scale production wise? I don't believe it would take too much to do and producing one cab style as opposed to one from steel and one from aluminum for the other chassis cabs that are also built there should give you a savings and resultant increase in margin that the shareholders crave.
Any pics yet? And for what it's worth...I would keep the 16" OE rims with some Michelin's on them, but it sounds like you have other mods in mind to the suspension....I had a set of 16" LSC rims on a restored 1975 Mercury Montego that I then put Mastercraft tires on...they even had the thin whitewall like Lincoln used in the late 80's early 90's on the Town Car....
Absolutely correct.
Let’s hope that Ford is rediscovering efficient ways to design and build all types of vehicles, not just electrics.
As Farley and the chiefs have now seen, there’s big savings to be made if they move away from the traditional
engineering project model.
Let the decontenting begin!

That didn’t take long. Does this fall under Jim Farley’s priorities? The comments are entertaining. Clearly not a well received change.
In the process of buying one. The exterior color is Midnight Currant Red Metallic with red leather interior. It has a moonroof. Not 100% sure what other options it has but everything works including the AC and air ride suspension. It has the 225 hp 5.0L HO and 4-speed AOD transmission. About 62K miles in excellent condition. No rust anywhere that I can see. Paint and interior look flawless. All I'm waiting on now is for the seller to give me his info so we can do a bank-to-bank money transfer and for the shipper to send me their paperwork. Have already agreed on pricing for the car and for shipment to my door. It will need new tires. They have plenty of tread, they are just really old (1992 DOT date code, YIKES!). That's not an issue though since I was planning to switch from the factory 16" wheels (which are in excellent condition) to the original 17x8 wheels from my '99 Mustang Cobra anyway and I'll probably go with Nitto NT555 G2s in size 255/50ZR17.
I also plan to eventually swap the air ride out for a ride height adjustable coil-over setup since these cars are basically the same underneath as a Fox body Mustang with the exception of a longer wheelbase and all of the suspension bits available for a Fox Mustang can be made to work.
I've always wanted one of these and almost bought a 1988 black Mark VII LSC in 1989 but decided on a new '89 Thunderbird SC instead. I just couldn't pass this one up since it's in really good condition and the price is lower than I expected.
