They're OEM trailer tow mirrors from a 2017. They took collectively about 15 minutes to install and that included a couple trips to the beer cooler. If you have an 8 pin connector for your mirror you will need the 22 pin conversion harnesses from Ebay. It's a stupid easy swap on these trucks, I did it half cut on a campsite with a socket set. Lol

No they are manual fold and extend mirrors, I added the Platinum chrome caps. I just had to convert my 8 pin factory wiring harness to 22 pin as my truck did not come with the spot lights from factory and the tow mirrors have them. This means the 8pin male plug for my factory mirror wiring is a completely different shape than the female plug for the tow mirrors. I got two harnesses from ebay that convert 8pin to 22pin, 100% plug and play. The harnesses actually come with an extra wire you can extend for puddle lamps.

only one issue
I have had my 2018 Since September and have about 1700 miles on her so far.
Was wanting to start a place for any issues showing up on the 2018 models only.
Please list your setup and if you got it resolved or not.
Mine
2018 King Ranch 4X4 3.5 eco, built Dearborn first week of September 17
Have only had one issue to date and was very minor. My intermittent wipers did not work at all since day one. Took to the dealer and they replace a switch and all is well again.
Have not had any other issues, truck runs and shifts perfectly. Currently getting about 3 MPG better than my 2015 with the same setup.
Post also if your truck is perfect!
Thanks

I have a 2018 XLT 3.5 twin turbo SuperCab with Max tow and 20 inch wheels. Only issue so far is my tailgate has started to make a very loud metal on metal sound when I close it. Kinda like a ballpeen hammer hitting a piece of metal! I have the tailgate step, so maybe a bumper fell off inside, or something. I have a warranty repair appt. next week.
The only other problem was Auto Start/Stop, but I fixed that with FORScan!!

Been cruising on the interstate for the last 2 days thru TN, KY, IL & now MO. Have been lots of rolling country side/hills, some steeper than others but nothing near the Rockies or riding in the Smokey mountains. Only issue is every once in a while when traffic backs up/slows down for construction zones or rush hour traffic, the 10 speed doesn't downshift like I think it should and the motor seems to bog down a bit. I have to punch the skinny pedal a bit more than I think is needed for the conditions and then the 10 speed will drop down to 8th (I think dropping to 9th would do) but it won't until I push a bit more on the gas.

I have a 2018 502a Lariat screw 3.5 with max tow, pano, tailgate step and 20" wheels. I've had it for a little over a month and so far I love the truck, however I have ~750 miles on it and have had a brake issue about 3 times now.
When I brake, the pedal goes pretty much all the way down and it feels like the ABS kicks in. I come off the brake and press again, it will either do it again, or brake normally. This has only happened during the first use of the brakes for that drive (after the first time I brake, the brakes work fine the rest of the trip). Like I said, it has happened 3 or so times, so it isn't every time I drive, but brakes are nothing to play with (and its a brand new truck so everything should work) so I'm gonna be bringing it in to get it checked out. Anyone else experience this?
