Thanks for this thread. Please keep us in the loop as to how the new switch fits!

Good job, OP!

I think it's awesome that you figured this (and many other things) out. Do you anticipate actually using it, or was it more to see if it could be done? I have it on my fx4 and I've only used it once to see how it worked. Of course, I don't do any serious off-roading.

It was more to see if it could be done but I can see using it under certain circumstances. I also had a little remorse that I didn't get FX4 package when I ordered mine but at the time couldn't justify the extra $ after dropping $60k on what I got.

Do you have the park assist and lane departure systems on your truck? Boosted Goose is right, it looks like those switches are meant for the cutout in the console. Here's mine:

Yeah I have Park Assist/LKS behind the gearshift so the correct switch I need is the one with the cut corners like your pic

That switch that you linked to is the correct one.

I believe those buttons are from the previous generation FX4 package as seen here.
