The pedal definitely feels a lot softer than my 17 escape. But is more in line with my 05 F-150. But there is definitely more travel then expected and its grab point is inconsistent.
So this is a No Go. I probably could have made it work but the quality was complete crap. Going to try another supplier And report back. Will remove my link above.

Will confirm fitment when I get it.
EDIT: was a no-go. Will try another supplier and report back.

MSRP $45,490

Got them to also throw in spray liner -$550 value
$43,940 OTD
Just an FYI Ford has raised their Destination and Delivery charge by $100. Higher vin# trucks on the lot reflected this. At least in my area. YMMV
I kind of wish my/the FX4 Lariat came with the all magnetic wheels like on the sport appearance package, but in an 18 inch FX4 version. No brightwork on the truck makes them visually stick out. Would ditch the raised white lettering on the tires too.
Hey All! Purchased yesterday 03/09/19.
Lariat FX4, elect locker, Magnetic. Spray liner to be installed next week. Have played around with Forscan on my other Fords so will be curious as to what can be modded. I’ll post in the Forscan thread when I have some time. Came out of a 17 Escape as the...
