Any suggestions?

Thx
well obviously super duty will differ from our bezels. But I know for the 150s the buttons are interchangeable so you may have two button holes and the new bezel will have 4 buttons but they are half buttons and can be swapped for just two if that makes any sense.

EBAY, many on there, and stock rotates. so if you cant find, look again in a few weeks. Warning though..... many are overpriced... also part numbers listed on ebay tend to be the engineering numbers printed on the part rather than actual part numbers you find at parts.ford.com

Unfortunately, I have 5 top buttons: Engine Break, Traction Control, Hazards, Downhill Assist, Backup/Trailer Cam (Double-wide)
Any advise on where to keep an eye out for Bezels?

Discontinued doesn't seem to matter, I called Ford and they searched the part and said it would be 3 weeks and they'd build me one for $500 Canadian lol

So I'm holding off for now, luckily I found my part number to a auto climate bezel without heated seats or rear defrost.

I can help you find one you're looking for

Go to this site: https://www.oemfordpart.com/

Enter your information, go to I believe "cluster and switches" and then usually there's like 6 bezels to choose from.

You'll have to select Lariat though because XLT models don't have auto climate, but enter everything else the same.

You can see the picture diagrams and select the bezel with the 3 rectangular cutouts at the top!

Then select a bezel with the extra buttons you need and don't need.

That's how I found a Lariat bezel without heated seats (which technically shouldn't even exist) and without rear defrost buttons.

If you have a RCSB XLT and want a Lariat auto climate bezel WITHOUT heated seat or rear defrost buttons, use this part number; GL3Z18842AAB

I used this site: https://www.oemfordpart.com/

You enter all your information, but when selecting TRIM make sure you select Lariat or higher to get auto climate.

Then go through the list of bezels and select one that has the right cut outs at the top and whatever buttons you need.

*Make sure it also says Dual Zone and NOT manual AC* this will give you auto climate.

For example, I selected a dual zone Lariat bezel, without heated seat or rear defrost buttons because I don't have that.

It also only has 2 rectangular cutouts at the top for my switches, instead of 3 like some crew cabs would have. The picture diagram will show you this.

So the description of the bezel I selected reads; 2015-17, with dual zone ac, without heated back window, without heated seats. 2018-20, with dual zone ac, without heated back window, without heated seats.

And if your RCSB has rear defrost, you can select a bezel with rear defrost buttons but without heated seat buttons.

It just makes the dash look better IMO when you don't have a bunch of buttons that don't work!

Hope this helps.

Yes that's about right, I've heard anywhere from $250-500

The issue is mine is extremely hard to find used so I'll unfortunately have to order it

I picked up a few for 175. Figured out which I wanted/needed then sold the extra. You want to examine pins of connectors before purchasing as many have badly bent or completely broken pins.

Thanks for all of the information, I had a choice between one $225 and $315 from *bay. I went with the $315 cause the cheaper one listed there was some fading and scratches and was missing a clip.
Next up, getting setup with FORSCAN, adapter is on order.
